Product Description

Sly & the Family Stone came into their own with their second album, Dance to the Music. This is exuberant music, bursting with joy and invention. If there's a surfeit of classic material, with only the title track being a genuine classic, that winds up being nearly incidental, since it's so easy to get sucked into the freewheeling spirit and cavalier virtuosity of the group. Consider this — prior to this record no one, not even the Family Stone, treated soul as a psychedelic sun-splash, filled with bright melodies, kaleidoscopic arrangements, inextricably intertwined interplay, and deft, fast rhythms. Yes, they wound up turning "Higher" into the better "I Want to Take You Higher" and they recycle the title track in the long jam "Dance to the Medley," but there's such imagination to this jam that the similarities fade as they play. And, if these are just vamps, well, so are James Brown's records, and those didn't have the vitality or friendliness of this. Not a perfect record, but a fine one all the same ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

初期の大傑作。踊りださずにはいられない、思わず体が動いてしまう楽曲群。ロックとファンクのクロスオーバーの結晶。眠たい朝の目覚まし代わりに、少し憂鬱な気分を吹き消し飛ばしたいとき重宝するアルバムです。

単純に楽曲のクオリティの高さから言えばこのAlbumこそが彼等の最高傑作だろう。もはや全曲ファンククラシックとも言える誰が聴いても楽しめる名曲揃い！後の暴動は彼等のキャリアに於いては異色の作品でありあのAlbumでスライのイメージが出来上がってる人達にこそこの頃の作品を聴いて頂きたい！！スライの原点は気難しいアナーキストでは無くあくまでもファンなソウルでありエンターテイメントとしてのファンクであった事がこれを聴けば明解。それにしても当時の日本盤のこれぞ元祖ファンク！！って書いてあった間抜けなライナーノーツには失笑してしまう・・・・彼等は元祖ファンクではないから

「男はスライよ！」と叫びながら踊ろう。腰にくるグルーヴと歌心をくすぐるシンプルなメロディ。伝説にするのはもったいない！さあ、でかい音で聞こう！
