Search - D.C. Larue :: Let Them Dance: Best of

Good Compilation If You Like Blue-eyed Soul Disco

"I was expecting DC LaRue to sound like boring pop-disco, but his grooves are soulful and funky. I'm glad this compilation has the 12 inch extended versions - not too many greatest hits comps go that far, since they only contain album or single edit versions. 'Do You Want The Real Thing' from the Thank God It's Friday sountrack is presented here in all it's 14 minute glory (only 4 minutes on the soundtrack). Nice drum and congo break in there too! My favourite DC LaRue cut is 'Indiscreet' because of the exotic instrumentation, the syncopated drum groove, and the extended break. Unfortunately, the quality of that cut suffers after the 2 minute mark because of what sounds like tape squeal (couldn't they have baked the darned thing before mastering it?!). This poor quality is why I deducted 1 star. But overall, an entertaining compilation."

Good complation overall

"A very good complation overall, with several 12" remixes before unavailable. I liked the complation overall. Several songs lacked the quality of "Cathedrals","Let Them Dance", "Do you want the real thing". I was also disappointed that they left out D.C.'s most famous hit in the Americas, "Overture", a top ten release for the year of 1977. Overall, a good compliation"
