Various Artists – Reach

A classic obscurity from the legendary Lovefingers blog, What a Night is carefree, disco-rock from Austrian keyboardist Richard Schoenherz’s of the iconic Supermax. The Moog synthesizers, Rhodes, and Hammond organ on the album are of course a major highlight (B4 features Roboterwerke, a German synth genius who was a friend of Herbie Hancock’s), but Schoenherz’s vocals also land perfectly. Favorites include the almost West Coast sounding B1 “How Does It Feel There?” and the sleazy, slow disco B2 “Between the Judgement and Madness.”
