Rhythm Heritage - Last Night On Earth
Somebody commented on my New York Digging post recently, requesting Rhythm Heritage - Last Night On Earth. It was an album I'd not really listened to much yet so I sat down with it this morning and gave it some time. It's a nice mix of funk and disco, a little cheesey in places but I have no problems with that. It's very grand sounding, like a lot of the seventies orchestrated disco stuff, and well produced. It opens with the Theme From Rocky (Gonna Fly Now) which is a good track but I have a nicer version by Richard 'Groove' Holmes that I might post another time. There is also another version of Steely Dan's Do It Again on there in a medly with Cisco Kid. Highlights for me are Angry World - part 1 of the Last Night On Earth suite - which has a solid, uplifting groove to it and some nice electric guitar work. And the upbeat disco cheese of Dance The Night Away, enjoy!

There was also an older request for the dub of Class Action's version of Weekend. No introduction should be needed for this classic track, and possibly the funkiest synth hooks of all time! Be sure to check out the more organic funk of the Phreek original too.

Well, I hope you Anonymous readers are happy and come back to show your appreciation!
As you can see, the site has had a visual overhaul. It's been something I've wanted to do for some time now but haven't had the time or patience for. Well yesterday I did and I'm pleased with the results, hopefully you like it too - I'd be interested to hear your opinions. The aim was to make the blog look a bit more sexy and stylish without distracting from the music, which of course is the most important aspect. On a related note, I've had a couple of emails recently from companies offering advertising for music blogs but I personally think adverts are inappropriate on a site like this. The site is a hobby that costs me nothing to run, so why should I make money by sharing other peoples music? Not to mention the fact that the web is a far nicer place to browse without the intrusion of adverts.

I absolutly love this album and have been searching for the tracks, but have been unable to find most. I would like to request the song Disco Queen. I think it is the best track on the album, but that is just my opinion! The site looks great!
Disco Queen is pretty smooth yeah, kinda Isley Brothers sounding. The album is pretty cheap on Discogs, assuming you have a record player. Here's the track

Thank you so much!!! I actually have the album (and a record player) but am still reading up on what I should get to transfer records to my computer. Any suggestions??
I have this set up:
Mixer line out > PC line in
Soundforge/Audacity for recording
CDex to convert wav to mp3
Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to give it a shot. Thanks again for the song!
