REVIEWS :
SYLVIA LOVE - Disco Discharge compilations
Ø “…tracks that could conceivably have been
released last week:the odd conjunction of sweet pop tune
and disorientating
electronics on Sylvia Love’s Instant Dub…people were bound to be
endlessly inspired by disco, because the best of it pulled off
the greatest trick of all: somehow managing to be both perfect,
gleaming pop songs and
endlessly adventurous experiments at the
same time”.
(Alexis Petridis / Guardian).
Ø “Disco’s influence on the meteoric rise in popularity of dance
music cannot be overstated…disco is dance music’s Genesis…tunes
like the inimitable Sylvia Love’s Instant Dub showcase
this airy
ethereal sound brilliantly”. (Notion Magazine).
Ø “There is also all the stuff that not only hasn’t dated, but
could be released tomorrow and still sounds ahead of its game.
In the current pop climate of La Roux, Lady Gaga and Calvin
Harris, a lot of it makes a whole new kind of sense. There is a
great passage on the first Euro CD – four tracks in a row
(Space, Moroder, Sylvia Love, Sparks) that glisten with
inventiveness, synthesizer outreach”. (Ian Penman / Wire).
Ø “So, it’s quite a surprising education to revisit this genre
and be astounded at how cutting edge, futuristic and 21st
century those tunes have turned out to be”. (Stewart Who / The
Hospital Club).
Ø “It also has to be said, that any compilation that takes the
care to track down the masters for both of Sylvia Love's
classics - "Instant Love" and "Extraterrestrial Lover" (also
exclusive to this series) is definitely in my good books”.
