Sunbelt

[maol]

A very simple question: What is Sunbelt, and what has it/he/they done except for the quirky "Spin It"?

[Masdefi]

Maol,



to my knowledge, that's the only album done. But if you go on allmusic.com you could get more informations on that.

Wasn't Sunbelt part of the double album studio effort entitled, "The Double Dance Album" by a particular disco label (Importe) consisting of studio musicians/singers?

Sounds like you're thinking of Tantra. They did "Hills of Katmandu" and "Wishbone." Both on Importe/12

Sorry!



Sunbelt is on Importe's "Prime Cuts I: The Double Dance Album."

Thanks for the correction. For some reason I kept thinking Sunbelt was on a West Coast label. What else is on the Prime Cuts album?

[srshives]

I don't have the record here at hand, but off the top of my head the ones that stick out are:



Elvin Motello - Jet Boy Jet Girl

Midnight Powers - Dance It's My Life

Hot Posse - Ride It (3rd part of An American Dream with lyrics!)

Mike Wilkinson, who owned Disconet and Importe 12, actually got the song in as a demo and apparently the song sounded like a lounge record.

A la "Let Me Take You Dancing" by Bryan Adams, he sped the song up with lethal intentions to provide what we all hear and bought.

I am not sure if he seperated the vocal from the track first and then created the music. But it is a true fact that the track was cranked up to that fever pitch gave us Spin It.
