I am a sucker for good compilations, especially dance music ones. The Soul Jazz 'Disco' comps and the 'Horse Meat Disco' (Strut Records) comps


Love those albums!

Misaluba oh-ohhh, Misaluba ohhh-oh


Hehe! I think my tastes turned towards the more joyous as the economy -my economy - took a nosedive. Just brought to mind the uber-controversial 'Hard Times Chic' feature in Face mag.


IIRC the Hard Times issue was basically "Wham Rap" in essay form but just look at the front cover! P K Dick and Nam June Paik alongside Kevin Rowland and a Northern Soul primer. You wont get that kind of diversity under one masthead these days. Sadly, if that era is going to have a five minute come back then it'll be for the worst possible reasons. Hipsters-play-poverty. There is always a lot to be said for bass thumping escapism though. Perhaps there was a good reason to hang on to those Funkapolitan, Havana Lets Go and Animal Nightlife singles after all.
