Dancing Maching / Moving Violation
価格: ¥2,887
The Jackson 5's final two Motown albums were both of their time--the early disco era--and an unwitting look into a future of dance-floor smashes like "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough." Dancing Machine quickly appeared as its title track (a remix of the Get It Together original) and it became one of the J5's biggest singles ever in early 1974. Hardly a slapdash release, it placed the hit between two thematically and sonically similar tunes ("She's a Rhythm Child" and "The Life of the Party") and offered the ambitious rock-disco fusion "I Am Love." Likewise, Moving Violation's biggest artistic successes were aimed straight at would-be hip shakers. A Brian Holland-produced remake of the Supremes' "Forever Came Today," "Body Language," and "Moving Violation" are the highlights, with a rare club remix of "Forever" the pick among two bonus tracks. --Rickey Wright
