"there are two albums on this cd. cosmic wind is from 1977, and i give it only 3 stars. it's a classic disco album, worth listening to. trouble is that the orchestra is to much dominant for my taste. i like my disco to be wicked, full of wha wha guitars and clavinets or synths. and that's where the second album on this cd enters the picture. the second album, high on mad mountain, from 1979 - is a true bumping funkster. this is hardcore wicked disco at it's best!!! i only wish that amazon would attach some sound samples, just so you can know what i'm talking about..."

Increible!!!

"El album completo es para no dejar de bailar y morir de cansancio. Este viene dividido en dos partes. La primera es el 1er. album de Mike Theodore Orchestra: "Cosmic Wind", incluye las versiones originales y completas de este clasico de 1977. La 2da. parte se trata de "High On A Mad Mountain" de 1979. Estoy totalmente convencido que "High..." es un disco mucho mas solido que el antecesor y su sonido mas poderoso en todos los aspectos, la instrumentacion y las vocales son mis aspectos favoritos.



No puedo creer que haya existido tanta perfeccion en el album de 1979, es un verdadero clasico de la disco y la remasterizacion es estremecedora.

"Both of these records are classics, but I have a real soft spot for the "Cosmic Wind" album. While "Mad Mountain" has tracks that are harder, "The Bull" and "I Love The Way You Move" are totally cool and absolutely essential. Former Motown player Dennis Coffey and Theodore himself but together a duo of great albums here, and we're lucky that the notoriously out of touch Westbound label actually allowed them to get reissued. The Tom Moulton mix on Cosmic doubles the price of admission, and are an absolute must for anyone who loves the Salsoul sound with a different twist.."
