I have been looking for it for years and was really excited to get it. This is a really good CD. Takes me back to when i was a teenager.
(What a naming genius). The Lover was the Electro mack of the 80s and this stuff is still pimp for its genre. I dig Freak-A-Holic, Sexy Style and Egypt, Egypt. Some of these songs are kinda long and get a little similar but heard as singles or in shuffle mode with other songs, they still stand out. His songs were catchy, easy to remember (damn he repeated himself a lot), and had the 808 thump. I use to dance to the Egyptian Lover back in the late 80s. Heavily influenced by the Freestyle/Afrika Bambaataa/Kraftwerk sound, he added the LA funk and casanova persona with that signature breathing. The Alezyby Inn is a great title.
I used to mix this with planet rock and the crowd got hyped. Only complained about this album, is that there were still a lot of awesome stuff he did that was left out. I love my king of ectasy cd, and I challenge all these "up and comers" to try to top this TRUE giant in the industry. My favorite is no doubt " The Lover ". What can I say about the egyptian lover other than he definitely is the king of old school jams. I had every album that he put out. I want ya, and my beat goes boom, and what is a dj if he can't scratch, but This is definitely the best Cd to have, and he does showcase a lot of his music on this one.
It feels good to both, my ears and my soul. This albumn has all the taste and recipe for the human spirit to grove and dance. The beat and rhythm of the Egyptian Lover's cuts gives a person the spirit to just feel good.
You must get this. This is a classic album to throw on at parties. Here, they go all the way through till the living end. Favorite songs are "Egypt,Egypt" and "The Lover". This album was released in 1989 as a best of package. There is only 8 songs, but they sound great on this CD, on the other LP's of Egyptian Lover, the songs are shorter and they don't even finish. Ok, it's 80's classic.
