Free Music Notes for Studio 54, Vol. 1: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture
Free Music Review: A really great collection
Hit: 4 Stars
I am a dee jay and found that the music on both volumes are excellent. Most of these songs you can't find on any other cd or even records. If you have the money you should buy both the cd's. This is great party music and dancing music. I have used both of the cd's on the radio and for commercials too. Definately buy these cd's.Free Music Review: I liked the blue album better but...
Hit: 4 Stars
I like this collection as well. There are a few highlights including "Young hearts run free."Free Music Review: Okay
Hit: 3 Stars
The collection is okay, but it is a little too mainstream sounding. My mom, a true disco freak listened to this and told me that a lot of rare gems were left out of this compilation that should have been there. And I, an aspiring DJ think this is watered down, but the songs are good.Free Music Review: If Only the I.R.S. Could Have Shut Down the Movie, too...

I suppose we have "Saturday Night Fever" to blame for all of this retro revival - mirror balls, flared pants, platform shoes, afros. Bad music. If you liked the film, then your tastes in cinematic entertainment are questionable, so it comes as no surprise that you would consider buying this soundtrack (and don't bother renting "The Last Days Of Disco" by the way - it's just more superficial Hollywood rubbish). I couldn't agree more with Kurt Reighley's critique for Amazon - there are some commendable selections on this collection, alongside some lesser commercial crap, but it's hardly a reason to purchase it. Don't let the movie fool you - Studio 54 was far removed from the values of the original underground disco community (feelings of unity and belonging and an embracing of music with positive messages and inventive production techniques). It was a bloated caricature of NY club culture, catering to elitist celebrities and the whims of its owners. Being at Studio 54 had more to do with 'people-watching' than dancing. Even if Studio 54 hadn't been shut down, it was doomed to close on its own. The commercial disco that it championed was on its way out by 1980 - the backlash result of greedy major record labels wanting a piece of the independent market's lucrative pie, but not knowing how to produce or market the music properly. Fortunately, the original underground following (comprised predominantly of gay Blacks and Latinos) evolved despite all this, creating house and garage in the process. If you really want to hear true disco as it was intended to be, I suggest that you seek out material on these record labels: Salsoul, Prelude, West End, and Philadelphia International, as well as mix CDs by Larry Levan ('Live at the Paradise Garage') and David Mancuso ('The Loft'). By the dawn of its demise, disco had received a bad rap, but the impact and influence left by its true forebearers on contemporary club culture is undeniable.
Free Music Review: A few good tracks, too few.
Hit: 2 Stars
Studio 54 is a shabby film. I've spent $7 to watch it and a friend of mine spent an extra $20 to buy the soundtrack. After I've listened to the album I felt sorry for my friend and his 20 bucks. Like the film the Album is mostly full of chaff, with only two or three tracks worth listening to. The great "heart of glass" is the reason why this album got two stars instead of no stars at all, "knock on wood" is also nice, and so is the first track. So take your hard earned $20 and buy a "Blondie". With the change you can go and get a ticket to a good film.
