All genres of music have their time and place. Some you will listen to in a quiet room, some you will whistle along to on the radio, and some simply call for a huge celebration with all of your friends dancing along. It’s no surprise that this record falls firmly into the latter category - it opens with the absolute banger Good Times which does exactly what it says on the tin and follows it with a varied selection of moods and tempos to suit every party.
This is also a very human record - no drum machines or programming here, just pure metronomic precision from Tony Thompson on drums giving a solid foundation for Bernard Edwards’ iconic bass lines and Nile Rodgers’ hypnotic guitar. There are strings, brass and backing vocals layered in to give a coherent mix of pure joy on every level.
Studio-54-tastic!
