4.0 out of 5 stars Gourmet Dance Music by A Conniseur, November 11, 2000

David Mancuso brings us more tracks from his long career of hosting The Loft dance parties. This two CD set ranges from 70s music like Fred Wesley's "House Party", Gerladine Hunt's "Can't Fake the Feeling" and Tamiko Jone's "Can't Live Without Your Love" to music from the 80s and 90s like Dinosaur L's "Go Bang", The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" and "The Nervous Track" by Nuyorican Soul. The clarity of the recording seems to match Mancuso's efforts at The Loft to provide sound that enhanced the music without being over loud. I've enjoyed this set even more than his first one. Some stuff you don't find in most other collections like the "ballroom punk/industrial" music of "How Much Are They" by Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay and the Santanaesque Latin-rock of Barabbas's "Women". If you have open, wide-ranging tastes in dance music or an interest in it's recent history, get this.

This is a compilation of two cd's, one for early in the evening the other for late hours. The material contains mixed 70's Disco tracks from the famous nightclub The Loft in New York. Cd 1 sets of with a funk track called "House Party" slowly building up the entire party. Cd 1 just keep on bulding up the party atmosphere offering groovy harmonic dance tracks. Cd 2 (late)is not so much 70's Disco tracks as the first cd. It offers more deeper House tracks with a dash of groovy sexy vibes in them hopefully making the female guest at the party to let themselves a bit more loose on the dancefloor and in their conversations with the male guests. I recommend this one because it is nice to have something that almost everyone like in your House collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different dance music, April 11, 2002

This review is from: David Mancuso Presents the Loft 2 (Audio CD)

This cd contains dance music that differs from the mainstream. Vey dancable and addictive grooves and baselines on the first cd especially. If the song "You can't fake the feeling" doesn't make you move, what does? As a curiosity there is the only disco song of Demis Roussos, the over 10 minute long L.O.V.E. It was almost a religous experience to hear this sentimental greek singer do it. And many others. Not only for dancefloors and parties, but suitable for listening too.
