Alex - Flying High (1977)
Alex is the name of Norwegian disco princess, Alexandra Sandoy. I came across her music upon noticing that jazz drummer, Jon Christensen was listed playing on several tracks off her self-titled album. As an ECM record freak, I was a bit shocked to see Keith Jarrett's drummer boy playing percussion on disco tracks and thought that perhaps it was a different Jon Christensen - it sounds like it could possibly be a common name in Norway, but for that one other person that might care, my own dutiful research confirms that it really is him. I can't say that I ride for most of the album, although you have to commend Norway for trying to make disco heat in the icy tundra, a sly persuasive move to simultaneously get hundreds of toe heads under the disco ball. Glamour!
The Limit - She's So Divine (1982)
Fortunately, the guitar rift and synth solo heavily outweigh the cliche chorus.
Karisma - Got You Dancing (Instrumental) 1976
Funky, funky, funky, damn, and Karisma only released one single. If anyone knows more music they released or side projects they had, please inform me! Apparently, it has been released and re-released on several great record labels including SAM and Patrick Adams P&P records throughout the 70s and 80s. I've never heard it in a mix, on a compilation or played live, that is, until I stoarted makin people poarty with it. Fresh.
