Not exactly sure what the point of making this was, but good thing that they went through with it
I'll admit I was surprised when I first heard this, because I didn't know that they were going to be remakes, and I wondered why Nile Rodgers would want to cover his own music, but I'm glad he did, because he did himself better in the case of at least one song. Female session singer Sylver Logan Sharp takes over for most of the vocals, and while she doesn't take most of these to heights bigger than those that the group saw in the 70s, she does make every song sound fresh and exciting. Nile Rodgers' best work here is chopping a couple of minutes of needless length off of "Everybody Dance" and giving it a fresh but understated glossing over, so that it's groovy enough for 2003-o-philes to dance to without sounding like it was butchered by a mixmaster. If you're having an old school dance party, I'd use this version rather than the original. Only the most hardcore disco-philes should be able to tell the difference.
Absolutely Atrocious
I LOVE Chic and the Nile Rodgers-Bernard Edwards team and I am surprised Nike Rodgers would allow his name and his group's name to be anywhere on this. I sold this after one listen, it is horrible and nothing like the Chic funk my ears like to hear. A penny is too much to pay for this trash.
Outstanding remakes of the originals.
Some people don't like change,this album was not made for the timid...it is a superb remake of the original hits with a modern approach.The sound quality is absolutely superb and the music is creative and ultimately different from the originals but great....higly recommended.
