I don't want romance, I just want my chance to dance.

Change - The Glow of Love

I’ve owned this album since about 1984, bought as a cut-out from JiFS, I reckon.
I don’t reckon I’ve ever played it as an album though, only the biggies: Searching, A Lover’s Holiday and The Glow of Love. The rest of the tracks are OK I suppose; they just pale a bit next to the three aforementioned colossi.

Luther Vandross and Jocelyn Brown on vocals are *chef's kiss*.

I listened to a podcast recently with Dimitri From Paris who said Glow Of Love was his favourite tune ever and he'd looked into remixing it, but the tapes have all been lost. In a way, I'm glad.

We are the robots.

Universal Robot Band - Barely Breaking Even

A tune (TUUUNE!) that still sends tingles of disco excitement down my decrepit central nervous system. ("Doctor! He's alive!")

Leroy Burgess. John Morales. Oof.

Bootlegged and reissued a couple of times. This is the original US 1982 release.

Oh don't you know how I feel...

I-Level - Minefield 12"

We recently watched the docco Record On: New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies on SBS. It’s worth a watch. Of particular interest was an interview with Arthur Baker, who mentioned that he had been working with I-Level at the time. (None of this 12" was produced by him, though.)

I used to love I-Level. I’ve got three of their singles, but this has always been my favourite.

Minefield was such a massive tune in its day. The sound of being 17 for me.

I still frequently get the B-side, Number 4 as an earworm. It's been 40-odd years now.

This 12” has the added bonus of having the best mix of their other big tune, Give Me, on it.

I used to live with a cat who would use my records as a scratching post. The sleeve of this record is evidence of that.
