Family Fantastic - Nice
Cleopatra
When disco mania was at its peak in the 70's the sound of electronics was
everywhere. Electronic snares, pounding analog bass drums and bass guitars,
vocoders, space age sound effects and stabs of various shapes and sizes
helped make the stars of the disco scene as big as people could get, and out
there boogeying with the best of them was the Family Fantastic, a group that
never released a record, performed live or even gave an interview, but
nevertheless created such a hard core following that here they are again
with they're first ever release ...nice.
Fans will be super happy to learn that all the original members of the band
are featured on this disc including Vince Fantastic, who did a brief stint
as Vince Clarke in the eighties with some electronic outfits, and even
Doctor Reeves Fantastic who has been seen hanging with top popster David
Bowie among others.
As for the music this is classic FF, all the essential ingredients that made
disco what it was. Corny sound effects, repetition, crappy lyrics,
repetition, slightly out of tune voices, pounding beats, lots of people
singing at once and much much more..
