Midney On Top Of His Game

"Caress is melodic, inventive, probably Midney's best work. It keeps the embarrassing, grade school vocals to a bearable minimum. It well utilizes the East European melodies so inherent in Midney's compositions. Two stand out tracks ("Charmed," "Love Spell") are hypnotic and compelling. "Love Spell" would be revisited several years later by New Order in their dance track "Perfect Kiss." As always, his disco works better for listening than dancing. Along with Beautiful Bend, this represents the best of the Midney projects."
Another classic from Boris Midney

"If you are a fan of pure disco/dance magic, you must get this CD. Midney remains as one of the overlooked brilliant composers, perhaps because each of his project was given a different name...USA EUROPEAN CONNECTION...MASQUERADE...FESTIVAL...and the best..CARESS... CARESS stands out because of Midney's famous compact sound, fully melodic and using repitition to a hypnotic degree. These records when first released were popular, but somehow got lost in the glut of disco trash which plagued the seventies. Thank goodness, these gems are once again available to the discerning listener. As a former club DJ from the Disco Daze..i can highly recommend this CD as a Must Have...take a hint from me and check out BEAUTIFUL BEND...USA EUROPEAN CONNECTION...FESTIVAL...MASQUERADE..COMPANION..DOUBLE DISCOVERY..all these are nom de plumes for that genius BORIS MIDNEY"
