“In The Name Of Love” by Sharon Redd – Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

The 1982 disco anthem, “In The Name Of Love” by Sharon Redd is probably one of the best club records ever.

Produced by Eric Matthew and arranged by Jay Leon this track never looses it’s magic and impact. Thanks to Sharon’s outstanding vocal performance and the moving lyrics “In The Name Of Love” continues her legacy after her passing in 1992.

I have taken excerpts from the 1995 film, “Waiting To Exhale” - directed by Forest Whitaker and stars Whitney Houston, Angela Basset, Lela Rochon and Loretta Devine. The film portrays the challenges in the game of love with four beautiful women – the joy, tears, heartbreak and emotion. “In The Name Of Love” always struck me as a wonderful narrative for the drama.

Dedicated to Katie Perry (Sharon’s mother) – a wonderful lady who continues to be an uplifting energy in my life

"Computer Game" by Yellow Magic Orchestra - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi and Ryuichi Sakamoto were Yellow Magic Orchestra – their debut solo album in 1977 was a conceptual project, which blended an exotic oriental sound with electronics. In 1978 they released a self-titled album that contained an innovative electronic dance track, “Computer Games”. This instrumental contained many keyboard elements very much in a style and effort that electronic projects similar to the German band Kraftwerk.

I have taken this wonderful piece of music and placed it below visuals from the 1968 Japanese monster film, “Majin, The Monster Of Terror” - a tale of a small town being ruled by a bad Samurai leader who means his waterloo with a sacred giant stone statue that wrecks havoc when called upon to save the village. It is a film I can remember seeing a child and the visions of Majin’s horrifying transformation to life were never forgotten.

The blending of Yellow Magic Orchestra and “Majin, The Monster of Terror” is an opportunity to hear a progressive electronic dance track and action and adventure on the same ticket.

"Calling Planet Earth" by The Dennis Coffey Band - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

The Dennis Coffey Band released “A Sweet Taste Of Sin” in 1978 – arranged and produced by Mr. Dennis Coffey. The project features Coffey’s outstanding work on guitars as well.

The funky track is a spin on a sci-fi encounter in this Disco Video Mix along with the 1968 film, “Planet Of The Apes” staring Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter. The script was originally written by Rod Serling But many changes were made to create a more primitive ape society rather than a futuristic as Serling envisioned.

I have used the theme of Coffey’s disco number as the outline for the science fiction premise of the film in a lighter end.

RainMaker ReStructures are Mine :)

I find it quite flattering - in the past few days I have received several links to sites with Donna Summer remixes for download. They are titled "RainMaker ReStructure" - but they are actually mixes that I have done in the past 2-3 years.

I do find it quite flattering - just wanted to make a note of it if anyone were to come across any.

They are always available at www.shadesofseventies.com or www.restructuremix.com

Thanks for all of you support and sharing!

Good energy to you.
