Summary: <br> Time to get your dancing shoes on and listen to Episode 17<br> of Love That Album: The Compilation Edition. Eric Reanimator is discussing two<br> different styles of music in relation to four CDs.<br> <br> First of all, the original American party music: Swing. Eric<br> gives the good oil on “Swing! Greatest Hits” and “Next Generation Swing”. The<br> first has some tunes from orchestras led by household names of the original<br> era: Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw and Gene Krupa. The latter has<br> tunes from the Swing revival of the 90s, like Royal Crown Revue, the Brian<br> Setzer Orchestra, and the Mighty Mighty Boss Tones. Eric gives some background<br> on the movements, and also gives some tips on how to impress on the dance<br> floor……<br> <br> Next up, Eric discusses the 80s movement known as New Wave.<br> What the hell is New Wave? It was an umbrella for a lot of things, but is not<br> so easily definable as other styles. It is more of an umbrella for power pop<br> with a slightly electronic feel mixed with soulful vocals and performed by<br> people in strange makeup and clothes…..yeah, I don’t really know either. Still,<br> Eric reveals some of the gems on “Just Can’t Get Enough” Volumes 10 and 17.<br> Volume 10 covers New Wave Hits of the 80s and Volume 17 focuses on female<br> fronted bands. Having a party? DJ Eric will tell you there’s no shame in<br> playing some Bananarama, Human League, Adam Ant, Berlin, or Josie Cotton.<br> <br> As always, Eric delivers a punchy, entertaining podcast.<br> Give it a listen.
