Excellent write up Trollheart, and everything you said is right on par with how I feel about that album. Although EJ has some more critically acclaimed work, Venus is my go-to album when I need to lift my spirits. I was torn between sending you Venus, or Ah Via Musicom but figured you might already be familiar with Ah Via since it was the album that really put him on the map. So, if you're seeking more from EJ, then you'll probably want to get your hands on that one.

I'm still wrapping my head around what you've sent me, and should have something by this weekend.

Mutant Disco - Various Artists

Sent to me by Goofle11

Curse you Goofle. It took me like 3-4 days to get through this compilation and not because I didn't enjoy it but because of the length. I couldn't review other albums I wanted to because I was plowing through this bad boy.

It felt like I was listening to a prog album but with retro dance music. I haven't ever heard anything else from Was(Not Was) besides Walk The Dinosaur which I ever posted a video of the other day. What a surprise to me when they ended up popping up on this compilation. Anyone listening to this would be hard press to find something they didn't like about it. It felt like there was something for everyone. I was in a musical buffet pretty much. One of my favorite tracks that stood out was Spooks in Space. After hearing this line:"Mama say there'll be days like this.. but she ain't say nothin' 'bout SPOOKS!" and busting out laughing I ended up just grooving to it in my chair and loving the hell out of it.

Great Compilation album. It was two discs and I will listen to it again but not when I'm waiting to review other things lol.
