For Ravel I would strongly recommend this cd set, it's actually my favourite classical recording so recommend is to weak a word. Apparently Dutoit was something of a Ravel expert at the time and it really shows. I searched for long before buying it and read on several web pages that it was...

This is an interesting topic I think: Are there more genres for which this is true (by which I mean there are no "lost gems" left that hasn't already gotten their due acclaim)? Is it even possible?

I have never heard of that definition before but it sounds reasonable. I use the term for: a.) Tunes that were big at the time (like the ones on this compilation). b.) Tunes that have a laid-back summery Mediterranean vibe to them (non-dance records for the most part). For more balearic...

Seconded. Fabulous tune! Can I wish too? Ok. I would love to be pointed to tunes akin to Yarbrough & Peoples' Don't Stop the Music and Ednah Holt's Serious, Sirius Space Party. Thanks in advance. Soundslike1981: Sorry, the only tunes I can think of are super-obvious ones like Laid Back's White...

The Wikipedia article on Eurodance (here) is pretty accurate, in Sweden almost everybody call it Eurodisco or Eurotechno though. I use Hi-NRG (like in the Evelyn Thomas song) and Italo-disco interchangeably, does anybody know the difference between the two? The Eight Wonder track is either of...

I've been thinking the exact same same thing since this thread started. Someone here on Dissensus wrote about rock having been "eternalized"; I strongly believe the same thing has happened to funky house (or whatever you want to call it), and no wonder. I would argue that, like the classic rock...

Fluke's album Risotto UMC's Blue Cheese Blue Six' Music and Wine Detroit Grand Pubas' Sandwiches and, of course, (swedish singer) Kjell Höglund's ultra-classic The Peculiar History of the Austrian Cuisine (Den märkliga historien om det österrikiska köket).

And on "Rump Shaker", obviously.

The sample is also used on Masters at Work's Justa Lil Dope.

It is usually called "Space Disco". To me the texture is very simliar to that of old underground disco records, like Harry Thumann's "Underwater" for example. Lindstrøm's "Another Station" from earlier this year is a superb representative of this sound and so is Prins Thomas & Lindstrøm's "E2-E4...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Jamie Foxx's "With You" (with The Game & Snoop Dogg).

I mixed Loop da Loop's "Hazel" into "Shake a Leg" this Saturday - it cleared the floor :) Freestylers' "Ruffneck" worked well though.
