Biography

Completely cosmopolitan with international grooves to spare, Heatwave emerged as one of the disco era's funkiest dance groups. American serviceman brothers Johnnie Wilder and his brother Keith Wilder were based in Germany when they first began performing, and upon their discharge from the Army, the duo stayed in that country. Both singers, the pair gigged in clubs and bars with an assortment of… Read more in Amazon's Heatwave Store

4.0 out of 5 stars they were one of the best, April 1, 2000
By A Customer
I have become a fan of Heatwave since Boogie Nights hit the charts in the 70s. This album reflects their contribution to the disco era. Unfortunately, Heatwave is one of those groups that did not get enough credit that they really deserve. Listening to songs such as Mind blowing decisions or Where did I go wrong, still brings a smile. From my point of view, they are in par with the other 70s great soul bands. The problem with this album is where are the other songs from their album "Candles", such as Dreaming You etc. Apart from that, it is still an enjoyable album. I am still searching for their "Candles" album on CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars To Make A Point, June 5, 2006
Somewhere along the lines Heatwave became typcast as a singles act.For people who enjoy great remasters of somewhat care worn songs like "Groove Line","Boogie Nights","Always And Forever" and so forth this has them all plus some other excellent cuts like "Eyballin".Trouble is-I don't own this CD.I wouldn't.Heatwave and Marvin Gaye are two perfect examples of artists who are far over anthologized and way under issued.Heatwave only recorded five albums from 1977 to 1982 and only the first two of them are available on CD.Two of their best full lenghs-1979's brilliant 'Hot Property' and 1980's 'Candles',also excellent have never been released on CD to my knowledge.Their final album 'Current',from 1982 was just too wonderful to be ignored and was reissued in Japan,and went out of print again.My recommendation?Snag up 'Too Hot To Handle' and 'Central Heating' on CD RIGHT AWAY,instead of buying this.And google Heatwave's Current CD and get it-it's up there if not better,if you don't mind 80's production and a few synthesizers with terrific songs.Just avoid rehashes like this,and beat down the viynl bins or ebay for the two Heatwave album's available only on vinyl or (as rare as they are) cassette.Better off with the five original albums because Heatwave are much more of an album act and deserve the kind of commited reissue comittment that classic rock acts seem to get-with the strong exceptions of Earth Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder.You won't regret it!

While I purchased the CD for the title song, I was a little disappointed in the rest of the CD. I guess I didn't know the group's repertoire as well as I thought.
