TOM MOULTON — A Tom Moulton Mix

Is "Make it last Forever" by Donna McGhee the same song as "Make It Last Forever" by Inner Life?

was familiar with a few tracks already, but there's are many ace tracks on here that are completely new to me. Def worth picking up for the Vince Montana & The Philly Sound Orchestra "That's What Love Does" track alone. What a great, great moment in time.

Ha ha. This is really the best song ever.

can i just say that this

a) rules

b) sounds like capital-D-disco, unlike lots of the other disco comps making the rounds (dimitri, muro, joey negro, deep disco culture, etc) which in a certain way makes it even more tremendously awesome, because here's a comp that cleaves straight to all of the disco cliches and still makes it sound like the best thing ever, as opposed to "did ya know disco also means dubby reggae and banjo solos??" vibe of lots of the other comps

i should listen to this more

Weren't most of those elements introduced into that particular song by Anthony Monn?

judging by how very, very little people usually have to say about what levan or moulton or krivit or whoever have actually done to the tracks, i would guess "no"

we always hear about mancuso's koetsu cartridges and klipsch speakers and whatnot, without ever hearing about what exactly this all means except a big price tag and "oh it sounded good"

it takes one sort of person to have a working knowledge of 70s production techniques (i imagine dudes like francois k have already forgotten what they were doing, studio kinda cloudy and all that) and another sort of person to want to write rockcrit, and i imagine there's not very much overlap (phil s comes to mind, though)

xpost nice, matos

1. "frothing doo-wop"? this is what we call background vocals now?
2. wouldn't the cooing voices be part of the (cough) "frothing doo-wop"?
3. there are no synthesizers on "Keep on Truckin'"

1. "more more more" doesn't turn into the isley-brothers-esque anti-war soul-folk jam that the first thirty seconds promises

now that it is, we're pissed they're not good enough at it.

paul cooper ... well, shouts for being the first brave soul to take the electronica beat on pitchfork (schreiber excepted, ha) but sometimes i wondered what planet he was from.

This is so OTM. I've been writing the exact same thing about the Levan comp - my favourite tracks are all the ones where it would be absolutely impossible to attach a "(not disco)" after the "disco", which is kind of refreshing given the (otherwise mostly justified) russell/beardo crit circjerk.

sorry but i love both, classic disco and russell (i would have loved to see a "disco not disco 3"). the Loft compilations were OTM with both kinds of disco (bye bye Strut and Nuphonic....:-( )

Yeah the Loft comps are fab.

OTM. (sorry if i sounded like i was disagreeding with you.)

the new lcdss single kinda reminds me of a weird amalgam of the last three tracks on the first disc of the larry levan comp, but little tops "haven't you heard" by patrice rushen with which i regularly piss off my surfer neighbors.

the inevitable Paradise Garage biopic: Moulton, Gibbons and Levan racing for the remix, eccentric characters like Arthur Russell and David Byrne skulking around, the spectre of AIDS looming ahead...it will be like The Last Days Of Disco but instead of chatty socialites, the focus will be on the music itself...we can only hope that it doesn't get optioned by Tom Cruise...

johnny depp as tom moulton
jack black as walter gibbons
usher as larry levan
leonardo dicaprio as arthur russell
jared leto as david byrne

Yeah the Tim Lawrence book 'soundtracks' on Bandcamp are truly great.
