Not bad, but not great either. In this genre and in this year 1981 were released the albums Take It Off by Chic, Miracles by Change, and Controversy by Prince, which I prefer to this Lakeside album.
Play it playa. Makes me want to hear some Isley Brothers. Maybe a cover(s) of Todd Rundgren’s Hello It’s Me or Seals and Crofts’s Summer Breeze, both reimagined.
Sitting here thinking this is meh. Alright. Except for catching myself tapping my foot a couple minutes in. I am thinking folks would dance to this. (Edit: LUL and then you said gets your foot tappin'. I guess we agree. Ha ha)
I like this song, although it is not a hit, I heard a lot of this kind of music in Hollywood films in the 80-90s, for me when I hear it it’s just pleasant nostalgia.
@@jfergs.3302 Not necessarily a sit down and listen tune but a dance thing which tends to go longer for that reason than. Remember 12” versions were even longer which you probably didn’t care for either.
Yes, dance music became increasingly slick and sanitised compared to the previous decade, and the same thing happened in metal and new wave too. A lot of artists couldn't escape the terribly dated, artificial sounds of the mid-80s. For example, when it came to disco-funk, I really liked Chic, Earth, Wind & Fire and Prince up until 1981, but I could never get used to the synthetic sound that followed. The same goes for hard/metal. With Scorpions I stopped at Animal Magnetism and with Judas Priest at Point of Entry. The rest of their respective discographies (with that overboosted sound and those plastic drum sounds) are simply unbearable to me.
@@-davidolivares No, I liked a few 12" tunes, when they're done well that's fine. I just thought this was a bit samey, and when that's the case it can seem to drag a little.
@@jfergs.3302 Sorry if I misinterpreted… Some drums on 12 inchers were unbearable but pre- internet so you pretty much had to buy them to find out. Still have some Prince, Peter Gabriel, David Gilmour, and King Crimson: Sleepless dance mixes, weird times.
D Train - Music or
D Train - you're the one for me (PHardcastle mix)
Both hit harder Justin trust me

A large band with two excellent lead singers and the ability to run two harmonies behind the lead and didn't fall off live. Nothing but smiles here.
Kia Ora hello JP from the bottom of the world Aotearoa new zealand hope you are well brother ✌️👍🤘
Yeah, this was when disco started to morph into electro funk. Is it particularly good? No. Is it awful? Also no. 🙃
Hear hear, pretty generic of the sound... Also, maybe a tad too long.
