Comment:

I wanted to make an overview of 1980's disco genres (Disco-Punk/Disco-Funk/No-Wave/Dancileptic*) along the lines of Trevor Jackson, Martin Hannett and The blessed DFA. Section 25 fits well also, produced by Bernard Sumner, not far removed from Martin Hannett really.

I may have miscalculated my placement of Yaz so early on, after Material. It's a bit of an ubrupt upheval, I wish I had sunk that song elsewhere (maybe after Wham!) but I more than made up for it with the SUPER EXCELLENT pairing of LCD Soundsystem followed by i-f. Those two songs were destined to meet on a mix somewhere.


*I'm pretty sure I've just created the term "Dancileptic". Then again, a few years ago I thought I had coined Disco-Punk.
