- A very rare and hard-to-find Dutch remix album with some excellent tracks. This record has become a cult item over the years.
The A-side is nothing to write home about, but the B-side features an interesting reworking of Martin Circus' "Ite Missa Este" although it doesn't credit Martin Circus as the artist.
DiscoMusic.com member MixMachine had this to say about the Funk Hawks record in a previous forum posting:
The cut "World Tune" (European remix, 136 BPM) is very nice, strictly instrumental with shades of Cerrone (Super Nature) and Alec Costandinos styled orchestration with lead synthesizer performing a beautiful melody, after this one it segues into a great funky piece "Electric Light" (118 bpm), funky techno bass, nice girly vocals with bongos resembling "Soul Makossa" acoustic piano...
On the flip there is "Disco Down." According to a search apparently this one was released in the UK on 12î , the girls are back on this one again with nice instrumentation and break, but the last cut is the one I like best now, "Love Express" (128 BPM) similar to Ultimate and Tangerue, with great synch work and string section, and it features a great alto sax at the end too, those that like beautiful instrumental Disco should try to find this one and play it loud!
