Customer Reviews

"music is something special"......
i gotta admit, i ended up liking the soundtrack much more so than the documentary itself which i felt ended up seeming a little amateur (though it def contained a few special moments). here, though, is REALLY where the focus is... the MUSIC. the first half of this cd really outweighs the second half, which is held down by some original deep-house which, for me, doesn't hold up against the amazing disco and funk at the beginning. there are some TRUE classics on this, particularly "life is something special" , "melting pot" , "can you feel it" , "spank" and "disco circus". these are all true underground disco classics that are not easily available... on cd or vinyl. so having them all on here is def worth it. the only other problem i have is with some of the tracks that WERE on the documentary but NOT on the soundtrack... mainly "go bang" and "release yourself". they really should have been on here. but other than that, essential listening. and groovin. love is the message.

...for the double cd version
For some reason, the Maestro soundtrack has been released in Australia as a double compilation with a total 20 tracks, all full length. And it's fantastic. Although the single version is fine I would recommend hunting the 2 cd version as it's far superior to the single. At least one other reviewer has complained of poor sound quality, but again, this doesn't seem to be a problem with the double (although some tracks sound like they were sourced from vinyl). Around the clubs in the 80s but don't recognise many of the tracks listed? Fear not, nearly all of them will be instantly familiar once heard, and if you love melodic house (the nexus of disco, soul and the emerging sound of Detroit techno and acid house) you will adore this. Several recent releases compiling tracks from the Paradise Garage, the Sound Gallery, the Loft, etc feature great music, but for my money the Maestro soundtrack betters them because it manages to incorporate more of the electro sounds of the mid-late 80s, such as The Nightwriters' Let The Music Use You and Mr Fingers' classic Can You Feel It. An outstanding soundtrack for an era which still sounds fresh.

I give it two thumbs up! And 4 stars!
As en ex Paradise and Loft member I like it. It could have been better but also as a DJ I can tell you what is best about this sound track. THESE ARE UNDERGROUD TRACKS, THAT MADE IT TO MAIN STREAM!
If you like the garage disco era buy this CD, its worth it!
Thank you AMAZON.COM alot of other cites do not have Maestro.
