Third and final LP from Aquarian Dream, which shows a move away from the classy jazz-funk of the previous two acclaimed albums, and towards formulaic disco, with some funk and ballads thrown in.
The result is that this is the weakest album of the three, it lacked something that was needed to make the songs great.
The first track has lyrics ("Disco juice, juice, juice, sipping it through a straw, disco juice, juice, juice, oo-ooh") - which was silly, but not silly enough to make it good, if you see what I mean.

Jan 23, 2007 | 5:17 amI agree this LP is the weakest of the band's work, but let's remember we're starting from an extremely high level of achievement, inspiration, talent, and, let's say it: class. The result remains excellent, more disco with the inclusion of one of my favorite tracks: "Chance to Dance". So, to be fair, OK, this is the slightly least incredibly talented musical gift delivered to us by this blatantly underrated group, Aquarian Dream...
Maybe I was a bit tough in my review - I actually agree with you, I do still like this LP!
