Unjustly neglected French disco purveyor gets reclaimed by one of his fellow countryman's superb DJing skills.
2001 | Label: Malligator Productions / Believe Digital

Most narratives of European disco in the '70s tend to begin and end with Giorgio Moroder. That's just silly. There were plenty of other producers working on the Continent, pumping out funky dance music for the masses. One of the best was Cerrone. Sure, he started much later than Moroder (in 1976), but he sold a ton of records — 25 million to be exact. So why is Cerrone seemingly forgotten? Well, for one, many of his records were criminally out of print in the States for more than a decade. Here, contemporary producer/DJ Bob Sinclar goes some way towards correcting that, collecting some of Cerrone's greatest moments and then remixing and editing them to craft a seamless mix of classic disco cheese. Everything is here: “Love in C Minor,” “Supernature,” “Love Is the Answer” and even what sounds like some of the ladies from Cerrone's Paradise for a very special intro. Ooh la la.

Had to give this a try due to the many overt references to Cerrone on recent Goldfrapp releases. If you're really into disco, this is a terrific mix nicely presented by Sinclar. Otherwise, it's not likely to make any new converts due to the polarizing tag of 'disco.'

An excellent find.

I find the eMusic library to be soft in spots, and rarely can I find an album that's so good that I want the whole thing. Bob Sinclar's is one of those. It breathes new life into disco and the album tracks have found their way onto a number of my playlists.

great disco

This is a great album. Nice to see it here, even though I bought it on iTunes several months ago. Hightlights for me are the track sequence of 18-20.

Tom Moulton just didn't get it. In the early '70s, he was on Fire Island, watching a DJ spin 45's and just as everyone seemed to be getting into the groove of the song... bam! It was over -- only to be replaced by another song that took at least a minute or two to build up the same sort of heat. Inspired, he took action: he started to cut up tape of his favorite… more »
