Too Slow To Disco

Description

Late 70s Westcoast Yachtpop you can almost dance to! Ah, the mid-70s 'Me Generation', not so happily remembered. And in taste-conscious music world for years now people have laughed at the L.A.-sound with its super-smooth, over-lavish, luxury-laden excesses. Chord progressions as thrusting as that bridge across the bay. Love the white blazer by the way. Neiman-Marcus, right? But "Too slow to disco - vol. 1" isn't interested in your ageing hang-ups. As you know, once musical genres get old the best parts still shine through, and this collection is a delectable document of this forgotten phase of the mid-70s West Coast music world. We've unearthed some of the lesser-known but still beautiful mood music of this period, by people who were often still starting out, or would write their biggest hits years later, but who surfed the West Coast wave penning some total gems. So, yes, welcome to phase 1 of our PRM (Personal Rediscovery Movement, cult fans). - "The Eagles were the dream of rock and roll incarnate. Hotel California became a state of mind - the land of blue jeans and cocaine, mirror shades reflecting plamtrees, blond hair flowing from convertible cars on freeways that led to oceans.
