While I enjoy both, it would have to be Cerrone for me. I find that Cerrone offers more variety and intensity. He's also managed to continue making music for several decades-or at least rehash it!

I have to go with Cerrone too.Considering I own pretty much every album he ever put out - and bought many of the CD re-releases & remixed sets.

Call me tonight is my all-time favorite Cerrone track.

I like both but without hesitation it's Cerrone. Cerrone tried so many different styles over the years & made 2 of my favourite tracks of all time - Supernature & Love in C Minor. Boris was clever but he seemed to run out of ideas quickly as i find his 'post-disco' era stuff like Companion & Double Discovery rather lacking, while his late 70s stuff is good but a tad samey I feel. I do often listen to the first USA-European Connection LP though as it's very uplifting stuff.

That's like asking if I prefer a Chanel bag or a Prada..
Prada is lovely BUT Chanel is a cut above and Cerrone is the Chanel bag..

Or comparing Bach to Strauß. Cerrone is the dancefloormeister, his music, although both are part of the Symphonic Disco wave, is aimed at dancers and party people. Midney is more sophisticated, much less commercial but with some many layers in his works that instead of dancing you start listening and dreaming IMO.

BTW, I still consider the Strauß family the original Disco men! They made timeless PARTY music and provided everything: the melody and the rhythm. OK, they didn't use the Hi-Hat drums but apart from that: D.I.S.C.O in it's earliest stage, way before Philadelphia started using European classical music.

Midney slips better into my sleek, shiny, structured&sexy black new Prada bag, made of vinyl of course.

Cerrone gets the advantage with me, but I like the fact that Midney was ambitious with the Evita medley in 1979, which sounded totally different than his USA/European Connection, Beautiful Bend and Masquerade projects.
