The Dancing Machine
Posted on July 11, 2007 by Milan
Obscure record offering borderline amateur renditions of okay seventies material. What's nice about the recording is the ridiculously upfront percussion and the Curtis-wannabe falsetto singing. Even tracks like Get Dancin' and I Got the Music In Me manage to transcent their originals 'cause of the strange mix, albeit barely. Most tracks are winners if you are in a generous mood but the absolute killer track on here is Boogie Down. At the end the musicians get in a jam mode and the whole band takes off like a Concorde. Bad luck the engineer thought that was the point to start his fade out so it's a killer track that could have been. I like how the piano suddenly sounds like a steel drum. Back cover has info on the various dance instructors this is a promotional record for. Most are associated with some dance event called Dance Caravan Blue. One of the 8 instructors is Art Stone, prominent figure in the seventies dance instructor's maffia.
Listen to Boogie Down
