New Wave Outpost Forum

I'm working on a compilation of New Wave / 80's artists paying homage to Disco / 70's culture. So far, I only have these.

Soft Cell - I Feel Love
Go West - What You Won't Do For Love
Erasure - When Will I See You Again, various Abba tunes
Andy Bell & K.D. Lang - Enough Is Enough
Pet Shop Boys - Break For Love (more of a house tune, but along the same lines)

I know there are more out there. Can anybody help?

Pseudo Echo - Funky Town. Come on marv, you got the hard ones and passed up the easiest.

Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way - didn't they do some other disco covers too?
Jimmy Somerville - You Make Me Feel Mighty Real
Revolting Cocks - D'ya Think I'm Sexy

I remember "Never Can Say Goodbye".

Communards, Don't Leave Me This way...VERY disco...VERY gay...you know, like happy! [:D]
Communards, Never Can Say Goodbye
Jimmy Somerville, To Love Somebody...hmm, I sense a trend. Billy Corgan just did this cover too.

Doh, I guess I didn't type fast enough.

Pet Shop Boys-Go West

I remember some post boy george drag queen named Zette did an awesome cover of Le Freak...sort of the same style as Pseudoecho's FunkyTown.

Although it's not New Wave - Jeannie Tracey's cover of Don't Leave Me This Way makes the Communards look like a bunch of chinless whiny boys...which on second thought isn't that hard of a feat.

I remember there was a KC & the Sunshine Band cover out there too - I can't remember the song or the artist though!

Marv - have you thought of making a comp of more updated disco covers rather than being exclusive to the 80's? I have a couple cds worth of trance & modern remakes of the classics! [:D]

That's a really good idea Wolvinator. I have some of stuff along those lines too. I bet if we put our heads together we'd make a sick mix [8D] Seriously, let's do it. E-mail a brotha.

Hey Marv,

I have the 12" version of Andy Bell & K.D. Lang - Enough Is Enough
if you'd like it.

Liza/PSBs - Love Pains

Goldfrapp does an amazingly sexy cover of "Let's Get Physical" on her Utopia EP. Called "UK Girls (Physical)". Check my share.

OMG - YES! I need that. I only have the version off the Coneheads soundtrack.

How about Heaven 17's cover of "Don't Fear the Reaper" off their new album Before/After. It's not disco but it's a signature 70s track that supremely toe-tappingly danceable in this remake.

Dead or Alive - That's the way I like it.
