This is a really good CD. I have been looking for it for years and was really excited to get it. Takes me back to when i was a teenager.
I dig Freak-A-Holic, Sexy Style and Egypt, Egypt. His songs were catchy, easy to remember (damn he repeated himself a lot), and had the 808 thump. I use to dance to the Egyptian Lover back in the late 80s. The Alezyby Inn is a great title. Heavily influenced by the Freestyle/Afrika Bambaataa/Kraftwerk sound, he added the LA funk and casanova persona with that signature breathing. Some of these songs are kinda long and get a little similar but heard as singles or in shuffle mode with other songs, they still stand out. (What a naming genius). The Lover was the Electro mack of the 80s and this stuff is still pimp for its genre.
Only complained about this album, is that there were still a lot of awesome stuff he did that was left out. What can I say about the egyptian lover other than he definitely is the king of old school jams. I want ya, and my beat goes boom, and what is a dj if he can't scratch, but This is definitely the best Cd to have, and he does showcase a lot of his music on this one. I had every album that he put out. I love my king of ectasy cd, and I challenge all these "up and comers" to try to top this TRUE giant in the industry. My favorite is no doubt " The Lover ". I used to mix this with planet rock and the crowd got hyped.
This albumn has all the taste and recipe for the human spirit to grove and dance. It feels good to both, my ears and my soul. The beat and rhythm of the Egyptian Lover's cuts gives a person the spirit to just feel good.
This is a classic album to throw on at parties. This album was released in 1989 as a best of package. Ok, it's 80's classic. There is only 8 songs, but they sound great on this CD, on the other LP's of Egyptian Lover, the songs are shorter and they don't even finish. Here, they go all the way through till the living end. Favorite songs are "Egypt,Egypt" and "The Lover". You must get this.
