"if "Paris by night" and "l'enfant aux cheveux blanc" weren't on this cd i would'nt have bothered buying it ! the record label had been better off releasing his earlier recordings such as "love" "mort ou vif" or "paris by night"...but they decided on another best of, go fugure....been a juvet fan since 1973 and i do not consider him as a "disco" artist because he only released 2 or 3 albums that were dance/disco oriented. his early works from the early 70's were very original and creative. he was one of the first artists to collaborate with jean-michel jarre and the outcome was awesome ! as the title says this is mainly a disco cd, most of the tracks are from either "lady night" or " i love america", i would have preferred they were remixed but.... "ca c'est paris" the new single is great, but where is "rester cool " ?what can i say ? i guess this cd is going to have to do, until juvet decides to release some new material.....which is long overdue !"
BEE GEES TYPE EURODISCO

"In and around 1978 Patrick Juvet scored well on the disco charts in Europe and the USA with his huge club hits Got A Feeling, Ou Sont Les Femmes? and I Love America, from the album Got A Feeling. Unlike the Munich Sound of Giorgio Moroder/Frank Farian or fellow Frenchman Cerrone's style of Eurodisco, the sound was quite funky, in fact I think it was highly Bee Gees influenced: the same jittery uptempo beat, disco strings and falsetto vocals. I found it quite charming back then and it's still a pleasure to give it a spin now and then although it's probably become somewhat of an obscurity. This album should be listened to when you have a disco party with a soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever, Donna Summer, Grace Jones, Michael Zager's Let's All Chant, Cerrone's Supernature and Giorgio's From Here To Eternity."
WOW

"Patrick was never really appreciated as much as he should have been during the disco era and that's a shame since he was one of the best. This Cd will prove why, pretty well every song a winner!"
