Russian born Boris Midney's 1978 epoch album, Make That Feeling Come Again! under the studio name Beautiful Bend, was a Disco tour de force. He brought it all to life at his Eras recording studio in New York City which boasted 48 trracks. Layer upon layer of sounds are built up to create this symphonic Disco masterpiece that manages to blend his classical and jazz background with the thumping sounds of Disco and a little funky guitar thrown in for good measure.
If you enjoy the music of Alec R. Costandinos, Voyage or Boris' other groups like USA European Connection then Beautiful Bend is a must! An edited 12 inch single was released on TK Records of the above tracks, but it is the complete album shown here that needs to be heard to appreciate the scope of Boris Midney's work. A now out-of-print release of Beautiful Benddid appear on CD, but it is increasingly becoming harder and more expensive to acquire.
While it was not the theme song to the late 1970s television show "Dance Fever," portions of "Boogie Motion" were used as the background music between dancer's routines.

This album had three out of four cuts that were of high quality. It received enough play, but not as long a time frame as the first album. On my scale from 1-10, it gets a 7.

His best work - till remember hearing this to 16mm XXX in the RT41 outdoor drive-in!
OMG!! I spent hours dancing to this music! I love it. Music like this in the disco era, I'm sure, is the reason that I have problems with my feet to this day. I wouldn't have it any other way however!! Good on you for this site! I'm estatic!!!!!! Do you remember La Bionda? I think one of their albums was called Sandstorm.
