Very welcome reissue of the original Sire Records release of Dinosaur s Kiss me Again from 1978. Written and produced by disco legends Arthur Russell and Nicky Siano and weighing in at a heavy 13 minutes long, this is a truly hypnotic disco odyssey which takes you on a curling and tension-filled journey through funky piano riffs, signature scratchy guitar work by Talking Heads supremo David Byrne, tumbling drums, stabbing horns and of course Mr Russell s swirling atmospheric cello solos. All this is held together by Myriam Valles beautiful yearning vocal performance until the crazy mind-blowing orgasmic final minutes where David Byrne goes wild and the whole thing explodes in pure dancefloor meltdown. Choose from the A-side Jimmy Simpson mix or Dinosaur s own more stripped down, chaotic but equally compelling mix on the flip. Huge in New York especially at Nicky Sianos own Gallery nightclub, later championed by Frankie Knuckles in Chicago and more recently chosen by Twitch as the perfect record to end the very last Optimo Espacio, this is a true disco classic and absolutely essential in any discerning record collection.
