4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Cheese. . ., February 2, 2004

This review is from: Star Wars & Other Galactic Funk (Audio CD)

This CD as many have stated before is a Disco Star Wars along with several other mixes. Trust me, it is really cheesy and very corny. It is however incredibly fun and light hearted. I enjoy the whole aspect of the disco/john williams hybrid and just simply have fun with it. I am listening right now to a light saber battle with a disco beat underneath it and smiling all the while. Come on music buffs, lighten up and have some fun. This is some great stuff to just rock out to and feel good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sound To Old Ears..., May 29, 2001

I worn out this vinal LP when it originaly came out.

I am glad that this was re-released on CD.

The orignal LP just encluded "Star Wars" and "Other Galatic Funk"

This re-release also gives us the 45 rpm single (7" edit), and the 12" Disco Edit that were mainly played on the Radio at the time.

"Star Wars" is a great mix of inspired music from Meco that he saw fit from the movie. A must for any Star Wars fan (before Lucas ruined the movie), and also children from the 70's.

"Other Galactic" funk is a very rare track for Meco, he takes the marching rhythm and the sounds he heard from the city streets to produce a real good marching themed track.

Now there are other albums from Meco I have not seen on CD yet, and they are

"Encounters of Every Kind" - A fantastic voyage using a 'Time Machine' based story line for the entire album. This is by far my most favorite Meco album. Since this album features a great deal of sound effects, including a full drive by shooting before the song "Crazy Rhythm" when the time machine visits the 1920's era.

"Wizard Of Oz" - Meco visits and arranges music from the classic MGM movie.

"Superman and Other Galactic Heroes" - Meco sets out on a musical adventure as Superman.

"Moondancer" - Meco, the Moon and Disco Music... nothing else more to say.

"Meco Pop Goes To The Movies" - Meco's has taken famous movie themes, such as "M*A*S*H", "Gone With The Wind", "The Pink Panther", and more and has remixed them as his own versions.

5.0 out of 5 stars I still have it!, August 25, 1999

This review is from: Star Wars & Other Galactic Funk (Audio CD)

I have this L.P. at home here. It's in great condition, but it's not like I can hook up a record player in my car when I'm going to work. I love the sound of the 70's and Star Wars is one of my favorite movies, so when I found that they put this on CD, I was psyched! Disco lives on!
