Date: 2019/04/30南アフリカのNight Force & The Tom Catsという誰も知らないバンドが1981年に唯一残したディープ・ディガー血眼の鬼レア・タイトルが信頼の復刻レーベル<Afrosynth Records>から正規リイシュー!!DJ Harvey好きに超絶アピールする哀愁のシンセ・ディスコ・ブギー名曲"Search For Love"をはじめ、80年代にはヨーロッパでヒットしたというA1"Dance"など、全6trksを収録!!
Tracklist:
A1. Dance A2. You Are My Fire A3. Hot Stuff
B1. Shake Shake B2. Dance Part Two B3. Search For Love
South African disco release. The title track ‘Dance’, written by Belgian composer Frank Degrijse, was released by Night Force and became a hit throughout Europe in 1980. In South Africa the song was released with permission at a slower tempo (the original 45rpm was ‘officially’ slowed down to 33rpm). Added to this are four tracks by Music Team’s in-house production team the Tom Cats - including dub reworkings of recent Afrosynth releases ‘Burnin Beat’ and ‘Searchin’, here released as ‘Hot Stuff’ and ‘Search For Love’ respectively. Synth-heavy oddities ‘You Are My Fire’ and ‘Shake Shake’ make up the rest of the tracklist. -

Tracklist:
A1. Burnin Beat - It's Hot B1. Searchin'
Description:
It would be fair to say that the Afro Synth label has dug deep for this latest reissue. Little is known about Burnin Beat, an obscure South African disco outfit who released their sole 12", It's Hot, on RPM way back in 1979. They're a great example of an outfit that, for whatever reason, fell through the cracks. The title track, a lolloping, 11-minute disco workout rich in fluid synth lines, rubbery slap bass, sparring instrument solos and the powerful vocals of Olive Masigna, is something of a long-lost gem. Original flipside "Searchin" is almost as good, with Masigna adding a touching vocal to a backing track that pushes the band's favourite Moog synthesizer to the fore.
