Disco Four - We're At The Party flac mp3 download

Once again behind the creation of an electro gem like this (underrated) one is that man Eric Matthew, a true legend of the 80s boogie/funk/electro scene! ACE!

Party lyrics collide with dreamy synth pads and a melancholy, minor-key piano melody; and a sweet falsetto chorus evokes times past.I can see how the scene wouldn't like it at the time; any record that starts out with a "do ya wanna pah-tay, do ya wanna pah-tay" would be expected to then take it up a notch and get right into a booty-shakin' assault, not loll into a 7- or 8-minute patchwork of hypnotic riffs where the disposable tag-team vocals are no more important than the instrumentation. The genre was evolving, though, and fresh ideas were in the air.This one-of-a-kind, head-bobbin' smokers' delight from hip-hop's post-disco era should've been a trendsetter, ushering in a wave of contemplative, increasingly dubbed-out backing tracks. Instead, it was lost to the ages, overshadowed by the harder—lyrically and musically—"street" sounds that would dominate the rap for the rest of the decade. Now, though, it's clear to see how ahead of its time it was, even though nothing else to date sounds quite like it. Listen to the last minute of the vocal version and see what I mean.

I know nothing about hip hop but I really like this. Thanks for writing the review.
