CD Reviews

Disco Revival
Robert Claessens | The Netherlands | 12/16/2001
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I like to call this music Disco Nouveau or New Disco because it's reliving the 70's again. It's based on an old song by Sheila and the Black Devotions called Spacer. There is also a new one comming up called Sexual Guarantee wich is based on Chic's I Want Your Love. Ever since I saw Jamiroquai perform an old Donna Summer classic Bad Girls I am playing these old disco songs over and over again. If you are in a corny mood then you'll love this song."

""Crying" is the huge disco hit that is storming across Europe at the moment. Alcazar are the latest pop sensation from Sweden "starring" gorgeous local gay hero + mega-hunk Andreas Lundstedt and bombshell babes Annikafiore and Tess. Totally camp and over the top (think Abba meet Army of Lovers) this infectious slice of pop trash is so tongue in cheek and so much fun that it is too irresistible to ignore! Pure disco over a borrowed loop from an old Chic hit. Andreas sings the verses -spinning the tale of disco: "downtown's been caught by hysteria/ people scream and shout" and the girls work the catchy chorus lines: "the golden years, the silver tears/ you are a tie like Richard gere/ I wanna get down/ you spin me around/ I stand on the borderline crying at the discotheque". This has what is takes to be a huge international hit and is supported here by a couple of high profile, though overall disappointing, remixes. The Illicit Remix filters the disco over chunky house beats and dark synth bass lines. Mind Trap work a deeper, darker Disco Dub with snatches of vocal replayed over heavy industrial beats and trance-like action. Fine enough but the original version is the best. Taken from the forthcoming album project "Casino" -and believe me, there's a lot more to come! NB: The promo video for the track is a total camp fest with Andreas dressed in tight silver hot pants, a silver tunic, goggles and a silver helmet!"
