ALBUM: Work That Dream (1985)
MVC Rating: 2.5/$$
I never thought I’d say I would like synth-disco music. And I’m not going to say it now.
It is synth disco and probably well done, I just don’t have strong feelings about it, one way or another. My idea of using synthesizers is like the Who’s use of synths in “We Won’t Get Fooled Again.”
But if you are at a disco with swirling lights and turquoise blue drinks and this comes on, I’m sure you’ll want to dance.
I admit it ‘s a taste thing. If you love Eurythmics, ABC, 80s loopy synthesizers you may like it. Allmusic.com said: “Work That Dream stands as a professional and entertaining set of sounds from an ’80s band that deserved international airplay.”
And that ‘set of sounds’ should be kept in the confines of a discotheque, I say.
I probably should have given it at least a 3.0 but couldn’t quite do it.
