should be interesting to see some spectographs about it, to see/know exactly what it is...
like the face in aphex twin - equation song!!! totally oposite energy, go to spectrogram - examples

but technically:::
the standard bass lines, like is the Roland tb-303 for acid techno
the violins or synths efx, or lead
the usually female chorus
the 4/4 real drums&perc that was eqed,compressed&gated almost to sound like drummachines, and some disco songs have only machines
the +love message, the love story...

music its like apples , some like red some like green

i was born in 77, but some how i feel verry connected to it, probably in my childhood i always tunned & feel atracted to radio stations that played that vibe/energy called "disco music" all the time...
i still get a bit natural high when i hear/talk about some disco music
hearing chorus like tragedy, and lots others...
but similar vibe can be found in house/trance music also, rock powerballads, etc...

Classical music with a funky beat and vocals enjoyed by many irrespective of race, sex and sexuality.

In other words, a mixture of classical music, bass, horns, electronica and percussion played, arranged and conducted by talented individuals!

Think RinLew, Alec R Constandinos, John Davis etc etc.

I'd describe it as being in heaven while you're still alive. Floating on a cloud that dissipates at 2 a.m. Temporarily feeling closely related to an entire room of gyrating strangers. 10/1/2009
