    Recommendations for fast disco?

    I'm looking for recommendations for faster disco like "Supernature", "Love and Desire" and "I Feel Love". I'm not too experienced in disco, as I was born in '81 but I really enjoy the faster stuff. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    You may have some trouble finding this stuff, some of it is not available on CD or is very rare on CD. But the fast-tempo, computer-like stuff, that's the joint. So to speak.

    Lime is a band you definitely want to look at. Not all of their songs are as fast as something like Supernature, but they're definitely the same ballpark. Great stuff in this vein by Lime:

    Agent 406
    You're my Magician
    Wake Dream
    Come and Get your love
    Your Love
    Babe, we're gonna love tonight
    Guilty
    Angel Eyes

    for full albums I would definitely look at:

    From here to eternity and E=MC2 - Giorgio Moroder. Both are real masterworks in the technological disco genre.

    Body Shine and Whiter Shade of Pale - Munich Machine - Giorgio and Pete Bellote's house band. These are both heavily influenced by the two albums above, they're very technological though not necessarily as fast as what you're looking for. The former is unavailable on CD and Whiter Shade is something you'll really have to search for on CD, it hasn't been in stores in years.

    Solid State Survivor - Yellow Magic Orchestra - more of a Kraftwerk style thing, but faster and lighter than Kraftwerk and heavily techno-like.

    Songs:

    Living on Video - Trans-X
    Spin it - Sunbelt
    So many men (so little time) - Miquel Brown
    (You make me feel) Mighty Real - Sylvester
    Do you wanna funk? - Sylvester
    Dirty Talk - Klein & MBO
    Desire - Ronnie Griffith
    Chase - Giorgio Moroder
    Gimme Some - El Coco
    Co-co Kane - El Coco
    Call me - Blondie
    Atomic - Blondie (there's also a good cover by Sleeper)
    Hit and run lover - Carol Jiani
    Makin' Music (instrumental version) - Gary's Gang
    Danger - the Flirts
    Beat the Clock - Sparks
    Firecracker - Yellow Magic Orchestra
    Dance to the Music - Telex
