Favorite Dance Record

[SuNomi]

I've been listening to (and marveling at) Gang Of Four's 4th album "Hard" which, despite it's tepid critical notices and departure from the band's jagged minimalism, remains one King Hell of a dance record. Perfectly blending big funky basslines, hard beats, searing guitar and social commentary into one solid piece of work. It deserved a whole lot more airplay than it got.

Which record of yours do you feel is the perfect "dance" album?

Well I guess that would depend if you are reffering to a 12" single or an LP...I am going to assume you mean the entire LP, for that, in the New Wave catergory I am going to nominate Human League's 'DARE'

[WolverineSyr]

I suppose for synthy new wave, I'd say Visage's The Anvil album. Every cut was great and very danceable. It's one of my favorites.

As for single song - it's either Never Say Never by Romeo Void, or Rock Lobster from the B-52s.

New Order's Substance..

It simplicity best
Or simply the easiest

Big Audio Dynamite album that features E=MC squared and The Bottom Line

[Atreyu]

Hands Down for me it's Dead Or Alive - 'Youthquake' (period)

[rotator]

funny, I was thinking about all those just mentioned as well as 'Dare', D.O.A.s youthquake is probably one of the first 'DJ' record of its kind..

[b].....allllllthough..[/b].I just remembered.....what about [b]The B-52's 'Partymix'[/b] or [b]Soft Cells 'Non Stop Ecstatic' Dancing'[/b] ? these were 22+ min a side mini albums geared for the dance clubs..

Full length album? New Order, Technique.

12" single? New Order, Blue Monday.

It depends... cos I can dance to any of the songs of any of the NO albums... but Technique sort of represents the idea of a dance album best.
Oh... and Some great reward by DM is pretty danceable to me.
