The Loft, Vol. 2

Amazon.com
This expansive double CD features choice sides that DJs have spun at this legendary New York club. The sprawling comp is light years away from the contemporary music world of micromarkets and niches within niches. Here, anything goes as long as it's got a good groove. Where else would you find tracks by an avant-garde composer (Dinosaur L), a salsero (Willie Colon), and a reggae artist (Joe Gibbs) jammed up against each other? Generally speaking, the newer tracks are cooler than cool, while many of the old school jams are both funny and funky. Just about everything sounds good, and both discs end on a strong note. The first disc closes with Eddie Kendrick's "Girl You Need A Change of Mind," a big, elegant soul production. Dorothy Morrison's "Rain," a rousing gospel song from 1970, wraps up second disc. Emphasizing the connection between the church and the dance club, those twin homes of spiritual uplift, it's a great choice for a closer. --Fred Cisterna

Different dance music.......2002-04-11

This cd contains dance music that differs from the mainstream. Vey dancable and addictive grooves and baselines on the first cd especially. If the song "You can't fake the feeling" doesn't make you move, what does? As a curiosity there is the only disco song of Demis Roussos, the over 10 minute long L.O.V.E. It was almost a religous experience to hear this sentimental greek singer do it. And many others. Not only for dancefloors and parties, but suitable for listening too.

Good to get a party started.......2001-08-19

This is a compilation of two cd's, one for early in the evening the other for late hours. The material contains mixed 70's Disco tracks from the famous nightclub The Loft in New York. Cd 1 sets of with a funk track called "House Party" slowly building up the entire party. Cd 1 just keep on bulding up the party atmosphere offering groovy harmonic dance tracks. Cd 2 (late)is not so much 70's Disco tracks as the first cd. It offers more deeper House tracks with a dash of groovy sexy vibes in them hopefully making the female guest at the party to let themselves a bit more loose on the dancefloor and in their conversations with the male guests. I recommend this one because it is nice to have something that almost everyone like in your House collection.

Great!.......2001-08-17

This is a nice compilation of 70's funkable Disco tracks from the Loft in New York. Your party is guaranteed a perfect begging!!

David Mancuso brings us more tracks from his long career of hosting The Loft dance parties. This two CD set ranges from 70s music like Fred Wesley's "House Party", Gerladine Hunt's "Can't Fake the Feeling" and Tamiko Jone's "Can't Live Without Your Love" to music from the 80s and 90s like Dinosaur L's "Go Bang", The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" and "The Nervous Track" by Nuyorican Soul. The clarity of the recording seems to match Mancuso's efforts at The Loft to provide sound that enhanced the music without being over loud. I've enjoyed this set even more than his first one. Some stuff you don't find in most other collections like the "ballroom punk/industrial" music of "How Much Are They" by Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay and the Santanaesque Latin-rock of Barabbas's "Women". If you have open, wide-ranging tastes in dance music or an interest in it's recent history, get this.

Album Description

This is an extremely notable first American recording of these masses by J.S. Bach, performed by the critically acclaimed American early-music group, the Washington Bach Consort.

The success of Bach's B-minor Mass has obscured a number of his shorter masterpieces of the same genre. Written in the 1730s (when Bach was in his 40s, these masses -- which consist only of a Kyrie and Gloria setting -- could be performed in both Catholic and Lutheran liturgies. Sometimes misleadingly called "The Lutheran Masses," Bach used them to gain recognition from the Catholic court of Dresden, which bestowed upon him the title "Electoral Saxon and Royal Polish Court Compositeur." Later, he was to take one of these masses and expand it into the full B-minor Mass so popular today.

The booklet contains notes by Christoph Wolff, a leading Bach scholar, tracing the history of these less-familiar masses and placing them in the context of the B-minor Mass and other works by Bach.
