I rather like the Procol Harum cover because I've got a thing for cheesy disco covers, and the Munich Machine album really *does* have some impressive tracks on it. But, man, those early "soul" albums? Even Moroder himself admits they were unadulterated crap. But they DID earn him the cash and contacts to finally get a hold of some synths are really discover his calling.Derek C. F.

Compared to that classic, the stuff you put up here on the blog sound dated & mechanical. What must have sounded hip in 1970 sounds like a WTF period-piece relic in 2014. But then, have you heard "Underdog", his flip side to "Son Of My Father?" Sounds like Giorgio had attempted the "Sgt. Pepper" sound five years too late after it happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335991334869467480.post-23042749457871901562014-05-30T08:35:46.504+01:002014-05-30T08:35:46.504+01:00You call "A Whiter Shade of Pale" a comp...You call "A Whiter Shade of Pale" a complete mess? Are you mad?!<br /><br />It's one of Moroder's best and a brilliant album, epic electronics mixed with traditional instruments and orchestra, not even one track of the album is bad.<br /><br />The Munich Machine-Project was the best at the time, feel ashamed for creating such a bad article!Hudri Bauerhttp://www.hudribauer.comnoreply@blogger.com
