Arpeggio's "Love & Desire": a new vision

[Marcio**]

Arpeggio's "Love & Desire" produced by Simon Soussan (Shalamar's founder) and Space's "Deliverance" produced by Didier Marouani have trance-inducing !!! :o :o :o



That drugs were an inherent part of the disco experience is inarguable. Drugs and dance music have gone hand-in-hand since the Roaring Twenties, and an altered consciousness always facilitated the passage into disco nirvana. It was possible to become lost in the crowd, lost in the drugs, and lost in the music. The high, usually some combination of crystal, amyl nitrate, pot, and alcohol, let the music enter the bloodstream as surely as a drug, conjuring up a communion of souls that was somewhere between taking the sacrament and snake-handling. There were holy songs that made it like church: "Deliverance" by Space and Arpeggio's "Love & Desire" were trance-inducing -- a trance that became pure ecstasy when we'd hear the DJ mixing in the opening bars of the song that would bring us to our knees, Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way."

Oh dear!! Why don't these people just admit that they were outta their heads and that makes a human think stupid things. All this bullshit about being on another (trancendental) plane, worshiping, finding spiritual meaning and all that crap just gets my back up. Frigging morons. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Okay, that takes the cake for 'most over-the-top description of clubbing' I've ever read. :P

Personally, I think these folks were way too messed up in the head to even enjoy the music!

Just give me a pair of headphones, a scorching hot disco tune and let me groove: that's the best high possible.

Why do we have to get so melodramatic and poetic over a normal Saturday nite getting trollied (whether it was on alcohol or other substances). All it was, was a good ole kness up!! Not quite the cerine, church like enviroment stated.

I only ever had a single truly serene night whilst DJing, when I OD'd on antibiotics. I had to work 7 nights a week and illness of any kind just didn't enter into any equation.

Anyhoos, on the particular night in question I felt absolutely crap but just kept on popping the antibiotics that the doctor had prescribed, along with a healthy dose of tequila and floated throughout the whole night. Nothing, but nothing fazed me or ruffled me and apparently the music was brilliant. It was almost like an out of body experience I once had. I was there but felt vaguely detached from my body, as if someone else was doing all the work. Wonderful!!!

QUINNY if felt that felt good imagine what a handfull of 'black bombers 'would have done to you :lol:

[QUINNY]

I think I'd rather NOT imagine what they might have done for me. Thanks, but no thanks.

It is strange though, how and why a person gets to feel truly serene. The only other time I've ever felt serene was for a few minutes whilst driving on the M25. I wasn't aware of any other cars, the car I was in or the road. Time passed and suddenly I'd done another 7 or 8 miles and felt incredibly peaceful. Weird experience for 11 o'clock daytime.
