"Love Spy" by Mike Mareen - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera







High energy returned in the early 80's faithfully with artists like Mike Mareen - the electronic keyboards hovering over massive synthetic bass lines. Actually Mike had been around on the German disco music scene since 1974 this being his crossover to mega-disco.

"Love Spy" sounds similar to the Bobby Orlando formula with a bit more resources working along side Mike Mareen's crazy and outrageous themes. This one was a great return for him in 1986 and actually received dance radio play in the US. It is an adventure into electronic disco with more imagination and simplistic play. His earlier tracks included "Dancing In The Dark" and "Agent Of Liberty".

I have taken the 1997 film "Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery" starring Mike Myers, Elizabeth Hurley and Michael York into the Disco Video Mix and let the adventure takes it own coarse. It is a fun and silly trip - enjoy it while you can.

The film was directed by Jay Roach

"They Came At Night" by Patrick Cowley - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera




Patrick Cowley marked a period in dance music that will live on throughout disco history. His 1982 project being his finale tribute to the techno-disco arena - "Mind Warp" is an LP featuring the track "They Came At Night".

The song is an excursion into the sci-fi would of invaders from outer space that slowly move onto out world. It is the perfect soundtrack for the 1978 remake "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright and Leonard Nimoy. The original "Body Snatchers" was released in 1956 and features Kevin McCarthy and also in the cameo the remake.

The film was directed by Philip Kaufman

The concept makes perfect sense to me in that any life from outer space would not be in a form that we are traditional stories and beliefs.

"I Love New York" by Metropolis - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera







One of Salsoul Records biggest treats during the disco era was Metropolis - a Tom Moulton production along with Thor Baldursson on arrangements. This being a Munich Land Studios (Munich) and Sigma Sound Studios (Philly, USA) collaboration, with very favorable results.

"I Love NY" is a single form the project which was used in the revitalize New York ads in the late 70's - a great orchestrated and upbeat track. One of those numbers, which makes the soul, feel alive.

I have taken the 1981 film "Arthur" starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minelli into the Disco Video arena along with Metropolis - and although the film did not feature much of the magnificent city I did add a few wonderful images to pace it all along with the fun and excitement of the story.

This Disco Video Mix is dedicated to Mr. Tom Moulton and Mr. Thor Baldursson in appreciation for their talents
