Default The Hi Nrg Story

Soon to be released by Charly Records, in a two DVD set , lasting six hours. Motorcity Films and Ian Levine proudly present " The Hi Nrg Story, featuring 55 live acts , interviews with the scenes movers and shakers, plus dance floor footage from Heaven in the early 1980's and much much more. This film is fantastic. Look out for it as it will be in the shops soon!!!!

Wow that sounds brilliant. I really enjoyed Ian's 'Strange World of northern soul' video/DVD; I know alot more about hi-nrg so I will find this one even more interesting & I have a huge regard for Ian's body of work but I find it annoying that in recent times Mr.Levine has slagged hi-nrg off as being 'tinny, crappy music' when giving interviews to promote his northern soul nights in London. I'm sure he's very grateful for the money it must've made for him during the 80's.

He llo Steely Dan and thanks for you reply, your not the only one who gets annoyed at some of ian's comments to the media i can assure you. However in this instance i think that what he was trying to say was that some of the stuff he did in the 80's he still loves and is very proud of, however some of the stuff I'm sure you'll agree does sound a bit dated. Glad you enjoyed " Strange World" and I hope The Hi NRG story meets with your approval, I've got to say I really love it. BTW , yes Ian made real money from Hi NRG in the 80's subsequently to blow the lot on the ill fated Motor city records project in the early 90's.He is Still a huge Disco and Hi NRG fan I can assure you. However controversy is never far from my dear friend, and I suspect this will always be the case. Bst wishes

I s'pose nobody's perfect & we all say things we don't mean sometimes. I definitely have great admiration for Ian Levine & without people like him it would be a very dull world I guess.

Default The Hi NRG Story

At the moment Charly have still not scheduled a release date as far as i'm aware. Its all in the can, the Sleeve notes have been written , so now i guess its just a case of Charly records getting it out there. I'm finding it as frustrating as you guys .

best wishes
