    Legitimately one of the best DBFS (disco/boogie/funk/soul) LPs out there, hands down. Unfortunately, "Back To The Light" and "V.I.D.E.O." (the only non-flawless tracks) turn it from a royal five-star to a straight four-star.

      Fantastic album from start to finish! I wish there was more Serge material out there.

        Really solid boogie album, a french one at that. Nice that this European production got licensed in the USA.
        "Out in the Night" is flawless, as are "I want Money" & "Gotta get Outside". Phat synth bass, lovely synth stabs, solid vocals, and lots of reverb! What's not to love?
