Still a funky album and their best one to me! .......2005-12-12
Midnight Star had their best album in No Parking on the Dance Floor. They made you want to get up and dance! They keep a very live sound among the synthesizers that dominates the music. It is very challenging electro-funk as the opening funk numbers of Electricity and Freak-A-Zoid open the album off with a bang! The title song is rockin'! But the group slows it down on the smooth Feels So Good and Slow Jam, before getting right back to the funk! Slow Jam still gets requests on smooth R&B stations a good 20 years later! The overlooked songs that didn't get as noticed were Night Rider and the funky Playmates. This is a wonderful album here.
MIDNIGHT STARR!! MIDNIGHT STARR!!! MIDNIGHT STARR!!!!.......2003-06-10
This is a absolutely fabulous album I would truly and most definitely reccommend this album the vocals are so wonderful they are nice and clear and the voices and the words sound so good my favorite tracks are electricity, feels so good, no parking on the dance floor and many others I love this album I also reccommend the anniversarry collection it is awesome I bought it for my mom !!!!
Solid Gold old-school synth funk.......2003-04-08
I've had this album for about a year now, and I just had to add my five-star rating to the chorus of approval. I was a wee tiny child when this album was originally released, and I might have never discovered it if it wasn't for a really cool dance/disco radio station (that I can barely pick up!) playing "No Parking on the Dance Floor" (the single) one day when I was driving my car. I swear, my pupils must have dilated and my jaw dropped! I couldn't believe this totally awsome song -- I just HAD to own it. Thanks to the wonder of the internet, I found out that it was by Midnight Star, and based on the positive reviews for the band I decided to order the album, instead of trying to find just the single on an old-school compilation by various artists.
I am SOOO happy that I ordered this!! I listen to it all the time, and nothing makes people get up and shake their [thing] like the more up-tempo songs from this album blasting on your system! As soon as I heard "Electricity," I knew that this album ROCKED. The style is very electro, and many of the tracks feature the "computerized" vocals that only seemed to thrive in the early to mid 80s (which is a crying shame, if you ask me!) If you're one of those people who hates "overly synthesized" funk or R&B, needless to say this album isn't for you. (In addition to the nine members of Midnight Star, a tenth person, Wes Boatman, is credited in the liner notes exclusively for "synthesizer programming.") But trust me, this isn't the ... Debbie Gibson/New Kids On The Block "over produced" synth that was the bane of the late 80s (which I remember all too well.) This album is electro-funk to the core, full of fat beats and innovative funkiness. Of course, since it's so old-school, it's also a happy, positive album, with no swear words or the really juvenile "thug" [stuff] that pollutes the urban music of today. I feel really happy every time I hear this, and the songs are all about 5+ minutes long, real club music, so you can party on and on!
Everything that was wrong with 80s R&B.......2003-02-21
This CD is an example of everything that was WRONG with 80s R&B after about 1983. Synthesizer banging replacing real instrumentation, weak soulless singing, and witless lyrics. Over- Computerized mess like this ran Soul music into a hole that it has only begun to get out of in recent times. If you associate these songs with fond memories if you grew up at the time, you MAY like this. Other than that, if you need a frisbee on your next picnic........
Classic RnB.......2003-02-01
While "Freak-a-zoid" is probably its best known track, "No Parking On The Dance Floor" is an album that smacks of class from start to finish. Undoubtedly Midnight Star was a group with a lot of talent. Containing what I believe are three of the most underrated RnB singers of their time (Watson, Gentry, and Lipscomb), Midnight Star was able to produce an album with all key ingredients in abundance; grinding-groovin'-sweetness. For example, the dance numbers, "Freak-a-zoid" "Electricity" and the title track, are simple in construction, yet wickedly hypnotic with a decidedly "electro" flavour and thudding Zapp-like basslines. The mid-tempo songs are upbeat and thoroughly melodic, "Wet My Whistle" is a great example of laid back Eighties groove.
However, the 'piece de resistance' on this album has got to be "Slow Jam," possibly my favourite duet ever. The chemistry between Lipscomb and Watson is palpable and features the two fantastic vocalists at the top of their game; the melody is unmistakeable, unforgettable, and elevates an already great album into the lofty realms where "classics" dwell.
Only very rarely do groups produce an album where all the ingredients synergise to create something great. No Parking On The Dance Floor was "it" for Midnight Star; awesome vocals, great songs, banging grooves.
