专辑介绍

by Alex Henderson In the 1980s, dance-pop went totally high-tech -- rather than hire a lot of musicians, a producer could easily act as a one-man (or one-woman) band and program all of the synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines himself/herself. That was a major departure from the late '70s, when disco producers typically used a lot of musicians and favored lavish string and horn arrangements. The THP Orchestra was an orchestra in the true sense of the word -- at least in the beginning. On THP's second album, Tender Is the Night , producers Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison oversee a lineup that includes vocalists Phyllis and Helen Duncan , a rhythm section, five horn players (including Canadian jazz trombonist Ian McDougall ), and no less than ten string players. That didn't impress radio DJs, who ignored the LP. But in dance clubs, Tender Is the Night was a hit. Club jocks who favored the European disco sound were quick to play exuberant, ultra danceable numbers that range from the clever "Weekend Two Step" to the lush title song and the funky, if mechanical, "Music Is All You Need." The glossy "Half as Nice" is much too sugary and campy for its own good, although the other songs are decent. Like THP's first record, Two Hot for Love , this LP isn't recommended to those who have only a casual interest in late-'70s Eurodisco. But it's worth having in your collection if you're a serious fan of this type of music.
