Free Music Notes for Saturday Night Fever
Free Music Review: Great disco classic
Hit: 5 Stars
This masterpiece has lost none of its appeal after all these years, proving the critics wrong and the BeeGees right. Part of its popularity must be due to the clever mix of fast dance numbers and lovely soaring ballads. The frenetic pace of e.g. Staying Alive and Night Fever is balanced by the serene pace of How Deep Is Your Love.
For fans of the old-style BeeGees ballads, this new direction with the edgy falsetto vocals and the nervous beat came as a shock initially, but those hits like Jive Talkin' and You Should Be Dancing soon enough swept one up in the disco fever. I love Yvonne Elliman's poignant ballad If I Can't Have You, while the tracks by Kool & The Gang, MFSB and KC & The Sunshine Band are great too.
But the real underground classic here is Disco Inferno by Trammps, nine minutes of burbling, bubbling, stomping, storming, gripping funk that is as anthemic as any great rock song by for example Bruce Springsteen. Come to think of it, most of the BeeGees tracks here can also be considered as anthems of the disco generation.
Besides serving as bridges between the classic hits, the filler tracks like A Fifth Of Beethoven and Salsation add authenticity to the overall listening experience and serve to strengthen the ambience. This album and the movie took disco out of the underground and reinvented it as a mainstream phenomenon.
While rock music was going through the convulsions of the punk and new wave revolutions, disco was having the party of the decade. And this album, along with the music of Donna Summer, Grace Jones, Chic, Giorgio Moroder, Boney M, Village People and others, provided the soundtrack to an era.
Free Music Review: ***SOUNDSTRACK of the 70s***
Hit: 5 Stars
The SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER soundtrack is a must for any music collection. One of the best selling movie soundtracks of all time, next to The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album, it's filled with hits produced and written by the Bee-Gees and others.
I don't think there's a bad track on this album and the remastering sounds good. This replaces my older two-cd set of this album and sounds a lot louder and clearer. All of the Bee-Gees' hits are here, as well as the other artists that were featured in the movie.
And even though there's a heavy "disco" sound to the songs, they still sound fresh. I especially like Walter Murphy's "A Fifth Of Beethoven."
Anyway, if you don't already have this soundtrack then I suggest that you get it. Although I would have liked some extra tracks on here for this 2007 release, like maybe some alternate takes or something, but it's good enough as is.
A small booklet with song credits and some pictures is included, but no lyric sheet.
Free Music Review: great catchy melodic fun
Hit: 5 Stars
One of my parents favorite albums for sure, I'm honestly REALLY surprised there aren't more reviews for it here on amazon.
Maybe it goes under a different, more popular name that features more customer reviews, I don't know.
I like the music on here a lot, and I'm honestly not much of a disco fan. In fact, I don't like it hardly at all except for a few songs here and there by a few select artists.
Or maybe it's just a matter of it being a pop band that decided to create a disco album that makes it more appealing. Who knows!
Some of the nicest, smoothest, and catchiest vocal melodies you can imagine on a 70's album. Saturday Night Fever is a classic in almost every way! My parents have their own favorite songs, but to me, they're all good. Still, my parents probably like (and appreciate) this album more than I ever will, since I didn't grow up in the late 70's.
Free Music Review: 7 Number Ones And Its BACK!
Hit: 5 Stars
"SNF" sold over 35 million copies world-wide. It also garnered seven #1 hits in the USA alone. The Bee Gees also won several Grammys from this for production and vocal arrangement. A unique mix of disco, funk and orchestration, this album (now one CD and newly remastered to perfection) defined a generation and a lasting style of music (albeit with repercussions). If you are still stalling on buying this, consider that it has been remixed and if you ever want to listen to dance songs that actually contain interesting lyrics; this is the one.
Please take note of the comments below. They mention some interesting facts about the original pressings and 'live' song insertions. Also, 'Jive Talkin'' was never in the film, which I found very strange.
Free Music Review: Unbeleivable music
Hit: 5 Stars
It's a shame this album never won an Oscar. The Academy Awards really blew it with this one.I have seen over the years how inferior soundtracks have won. And this album being as good as it is never even received a nomination. This album was overlooked by the judges. I don't know which album won that year, but if I don't remember wrong, Thank God is Friday (which is a much inferior movie)with its bland songs took the big prize a year or two later.Incredible.
