Hercules & Love Affair "Blind" (new disco)

[ashley]

.. I should bring everyone's attention to a new dance record called "Blind" by Hercules & Love Affair .. the tune is straight out of New York with a blinding remix from Frankie Knuckles .. it's getting much hype in the music industry, being described by many as traditional disco .. give it a listen .. it's suprisingly good .. listen to the sound-clip on the Juno site:

That voice leaves a bit to be desired, but I do like the tune. Nice groove. I don't think I'd say it has a traditional disco sound, but the bass line sure is a throw-back. I especially like the vocal-mix. Nice to hear horns again! Now, just get some lush strings, substitute a hot, black female vocal (or male, ala Sylvester) and you'd have a first-class winner!

Agree - this is great and the Frankie Knuckles remix is stellar! I hope this is Frankie's return to remixing form like his early 90s stuff.
The album is a grower though - quite a unique sound.
