Customer Reviews

Moroder at his finest.
What A Feelin' may be the title of the album and by far the biggest hit on the record but behind this towering pop monolith and essential karaoke anthem are gems that are far more exciting and timeless tunes. This is a 100% Giorgio Moroder production in his guise as a pop producer rather than a disco producer. The epic disco title track is just one shade. The rest is finely balanced with a couple of electro workouts "Breakdance", "Romance 83", some anthemic ballads and sunny bubble gum "You Took My Life Away". It really is an album you can enjoy all the way through and is not as you might suspect a boring 'cash in' of dull fillers riding off the back of "What A Feelin's" success.

My favourites are:

1. Breakdance. This was another single from the album. It splutters with jerky synths and includes Irene rapping about different dance moves. It may have come three years after Debbie Harry rapped in Rapture, but that doesn't make it a johnny come lately. Instead it glitters with pic and mix pop culture that Giorgio Moroder shamelessly pillaged. Check out the video on You Tube if you get a chance.
2. Romance '83. Here she sounds troubled by technology and machines and needs modern love as the remedy. Sadly internet dating didn't exist in 1983 because that would have sorted her out. This body popping song slips onto a contemporary hipster dancefloor with seamless and credible electro beats and a euphoric chorus.
3. You Took My Life Away. This tune could have been recorded in the early 1970s or the early 2000s by an S Club, Jamelia or Pop Idol winner, yet the chugging beat and Jay Graydon sound a like guitar solo sets it in the heart of 1983. A wonderfully sunny pop tune.
