Peter Jacques Band – Fire Night Dance

Musically years ahead of it's time, brillant use of synthesizers, this album is a jewel.

‘Tuesday at the supermarket, shopping for wine.... ‘ oh how this line has made me smile over the years.

Another masterpiece composed, arranged and conducted by Mauro Malavasi, he would do the same with «Change» (w/Luther Vandross) don’t forget that !

A treat at 140 BPM Fire Night Dance (title track) will take you on a energetic dance journey unique to 1978.

Epic uptempo disco opera journey with high energy feeling to it even time before high energy took place as a vital sub genre of disco music, demanded by chemically pumped up gay crowds in the early 80's worldwide.

Fire Night Dance album is full of essential disco breaks, loaded with spacey atmosphere, ecstatic vocals, and strings & horns orchestration typical for all disco made in the 70's.

This album hangs perfectly in between two different decades of disco, having still strong 70's disco feeling to it but in the same time looking forward to the future for the 80's.

Essential.

I LOVE this song! Though, it's kind of TOUGH to dance-to unless you are very physically fit. It's quick-paced, powerful, energetic, emotionally incendiary, well-composed & engineered. Where some popular songs lack substance, this one offers some real depth - a reflection on its composer whose career (& life) was tragically cut short in the early 1980s. Excellent blend of pounding percussion, strings, and some real-tasty brass-work. I feel very fortunate to still have the 12-incher (vinyl... vinyl???).
