All I can say is that this guy is an incredible remixer. Dimitri From Paris has a
great technique. Me being a lover of the Philly Sound, I got a thrill listening to
his reworkings. But without a doubt his remix of “The Love I Lost” on Disc 2
just simply blew my breath out my lungs. Dimitri lay hands on that record and
the dead rose from their graves and started to boogieing in their bones!
What’s really amazing about this particular song (the remix on Disc 3** does it
too) is that he uses outtakes from the previously unreleased masters. When
Teddy started adding lyrics and ad libs and riffs I never heard before it
totally caught me off guard. I fell out my chair and my head exploded as if I
had an epiphany and a revelation simultaneously! I guess to understand
where I’m coming from you have to love the Philly Sound the way I do.
Dimitri’s reworking of Eddie Kendricks’ “He’s A Friend” on Disc 2 is also done
very well.”Bad Luck” came off kinda disjointed though. Dimitri actually took Tom
Moulton’s original remix and ‘Housed’ it by increasing the BPM and taking Harold
& The Blue Notes totally out of the mix. Obviosly Dimitri loves the sound of
Teddy’s voice. Harold & the boys aren’t heard until 7 minutes in. On “Tell The
World How I Feel About ‘Cha Baby” he was experimenting with mixing vocal
passages but his blends didn’t come off too well, partuclarly at the start of the cut.
I did like how he reworked Philly Devotions’ “Hurt So Bad” and Teddy’s “The More
I Get, The More I Want” &”You Can’t Hide From Yourself”.

Disc 1 features the orignal cuts; Discs 2&3** have Dimitri’s reworks and overall
he does a fantastic job. Make sure to read the liner notes that are included.
It explains exactly who is responsible for ‘The Philly Sound’ and how it shaped
the genre of all dance music for the next 15 years from Disco to Club to
House. (DAP)

** Disc Three is a bonus disc included in a 3 CD Japan Only release

So I’ve been getting down with philly sound for a few weeks now, and all I
can say is….WOW! This is far and away Dimitri’s most accessible release to
date, and the first time that I have actually heard of some of the artists he
has selected. And it is stunning! If you have never had the pleasure of
experiencing the monsieur’s EXQUISITE taste in music, this is the place you
will want to start.

Teddy Pendergrass is all over this, and I think he is my new favorite singer.
Eddie Kendricks has the voice of an angel, and Dimitri did such a wonderful
job on the rework of “He’s a Friend.” His version has a certain bounce to it,
and the gospel ending is phenomenal. I am also totally digging his version of
“The Night the Lights Went Out in NYC.” He turned it into a party song (kind
of like Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up”) and emphasized certain parts, and
the result just does it for me. “Somebody pulled the plug…out the socket”
and that incredible synth line. That’s wonderful stuff right there.

Want to give him his props for including Carl Bean’s “I Was Born This Way.”
That song really stood out for me on the first listen, and there is such a
wonderful energy behind it. But I think that for me, “The Love I Lost” is the
show-stealer. Dimitri pretty much said in the liner notes that he wanted to
share this material with all of us, and I want to thank him for that. I still
remember the day I found his music, and it has gotten me through the past 5
years in this increasingly dark and desperate world that we all find ourselves
in.

I don’t claim to have a soul or anything like that, but I really think that this
kind of music helps me to actualize one. It is LOVE, and it is always an
uplifting experience. There is so much joy behind everything here, and Dimitri
has done all of us a SERVICE by putting it out and reviving it at this point in
time.

And I have got to give respect to the fine folks over at BBE Records for the
wonderful packages they release. They’ve done Cocktail Disco, Disco
Forever, Nightdubbin’, and now this, and the music, the artwork, the
quality–always fantastic. They are worth every cent you pay for them.
