...some ways) a child of the eighties. I bought my first Village People album just last year and have had subsequently to search through numerous vintage music stores to feed my addiction to disco (If anyone know where I can find a copy of the original 8 minute remix of Donna Summer's " Last Dance"...). I have read about Studio 54 and heard many delicious stories of its wonders, but I have only the experience of contemporary nightclubs pumping with house music as a faint allusion to the campy Disco Decade...
MAYBE THIS IS THE LIBERATION OF SUZANNE VEGA. Hearing DNA's hip-hop remix of her popular tune Tom's Diner has obviously encouraged the breathy folk singer to venture beyond the safety of her acoustic guitar. Her latest album, 99.9 F degrees, is a bold experiment in both verse and technology, with Vega's haunting images now pegged to electronic percussion and warped-sounding keyboards.

...African "homeland." Jazz (Miles Davis) is on the record. So is folk (Jackson Browne, Raitt), Latin (Ruben Blades) and reggae (Jimmy Cliff), along with the royalty of rock, both domestic (Daryl Hall) and imported (Pete Townshend, Ringo Starr). Van Zandt's original concept for a single and a dance remix has become a mini-LP of material. Among the tracks: a coruscating jazz version of Sun City by Davis, Keyboardist Herbie Hancock, Bass Player Ron Carter and Drummer Tony Williams; a free-flowing political, rhythmic stream of consciousness by Ray Barretto, Peter Wolf, Rapper Grandmaster Melle Mel and Soweto...
