4.0 out of 5 stars They Call It Boogie Fever, October 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Disco Years 3: Boogie Fever (Audio CD)

Again, Rhino dishes up more good disco from the 70's. Highlights include the favorites "Rock the Boat", "Get DOwn Tonight", "We Are Family" and "Bad Girls", as well as the not-as-often-encountered "Soul Makossa" and the rather mature (for disco anyway) "Young Hearts Run Free". A few of the tracks simply never did it for me - "Dancing Machine" sounds like a parody, and the liner notes don't lie when they call "Get Off" possibly one of the most annoying disco songs ever. In all, another good collection for you if you "want some ack-SHAWN."

This review is from: Disco Years 3: Boogie Fever (Audio CD)

Disco Years 3: Boogie Fever is a solid installment in this CD series; there are some great numbers here and the quality of the sound is quite good, too.

"Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation starts off the album really well; they harmonize and sing this to an awesome disco beat that gets my feet tapping even when I don't realize it! "Get Down Tonight" has more terrific sounds; and I can never get enough of "Boogie Fever!" "Boogie Fever" by The Sylvers has a flavor to it that I find irresistible and I think you'll like it, too. The key modulations enhance this song even more and make it infectiously happy and upbeat, to say the least. "Doctor's Orders" gets the royal treatment from Carol Douglas; and listen for other gems including the somewhat ballad/disc o sounding "I Love the Nightlife (Disco 'Round);" "Get Off;" The Village People's "Macho Man" that got so many people up and onto the dance floor; the beautiful "Young Hearts Run Free" that also seems to combine a ballad flavor with a classic disco beat; "Dancing Machine" by the legendary Jackson 5 (and Michael never lets go of a superfluous note, either); the incredible "Love Machine, Pt. 1" that impresses me so much; "Soul Makossa" which is very well done; "Dance (Disco Heat)," another infectiously upbeat, fast paced and even a celebratory number; Karen Young's "Hot Shot" which I could never tire of dancing to; "Le Freak" by Chic; Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" which remains well known even in our times; the disco flavored ballad "The Glow of Love" with another incredible beat and melody; Amii Stewart's very energetic "Knock On Wood" and the final track, "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer who released some great disco music in her time. Wow!

Overall, Disco Years 3: Boogie Fever is terrific for people who want a sampling of disco music, perhaps because they are just discovering it or perhaps because they are casual fans who don't just yet want to get a more comprehensive disco music collection. At any rate, people won't be disappointed; this is first class, five star, high quality control disco music--and that's grand.

Get Down Tonight, Get Off and Soul Makossa. I love all these songs. They stand the test of time. Donna Summer, Village People and Sylvester. The very best from the disco era. This is a must have collection for any true dance/ disco fan.
