Waltz Darling was a shock to me. I was surprised by how good the album was. Jeff Beck and Bootsy Collins recreate Blue Danube by setting it to pop music. Changing classical music into pop takes some work but Bootsy and his orchestra put in the work. The vocals and music are top notch. Malcolm McLaren has been working hard on trying to become a pop star. After latching on to the punk fad, he switched to the hip-hop then to classical themes. Call him a fink or a snake, but McLaren knows what's hot or soon to be big. He's had a very active music career.

Best Selection captures great moments of Yellow Magic Orchestra during their golden period, between 1978 and 1981. The record is also a good way to discover the band as it is mainly composed of two parts: the first one is consecrated to punchy synth pop tracks from their first albums of the 70s, whereas the second part is dedicated to their darker 80s' cold wave pieces.

Als Alex Christensen im Oktober 2017 sein ambitioniertes Projekt Classical 90s Dance veröffentlichte, war ihm die Neugierde von Kollegen, Fans und Medien gewiss. Als wichtigster deutscher Impulsgeber der Techno-, Dance- und Eurodance-Bewegung, erarbeitete er sich zunächst als DJ und Komponist, schnell aber auch als Producer Weltruhm. Plötzlich sollte der Mann, der seit Anfang der 90er-Jahre vorzugsweise im Hintergrund die musikalischen Strippen für über 40 Millionen verkaufter Tonträger zog, erklären, was es mit Classical 90s Dance auf sich hatte. Dass einer wie er eine persönliche Auswahl charakteristischer Hits des Genres neu arrangierte und mit dem 49-köpfigen Berlin Orchestra aufnahm, schuf Aufmerksamkeit.

Biddu Appaiah, is an Indian-born, England-based singer-songwriter, composer, and music producer – who composed and produced many worldwide hit records during a career spanning five decades. Considered one of the pioneers of disco, Euro disco, and Indian pop, he has sold millions of records worldwide, and has received Grammy and Ivor Novello awards for his work. He has been ranked at number 34 on NME's "The 50 Greatest Producers Ever" list. His international breakthrough came in 1974 with "Kung Fu Fighting" performed by Carl Douglas; the song became one of the best-selling singles of all time with eleven million records sold, helped popularise disco music, was the first worldwide disco hit from Britain and Europe, and established Biddu as one of the most prolific dance music producers from outside the United States at the time.

The album combines the group’s original vocal and instrumental tracks from their 100-million-selling catalogue with new orchestral arrangements by Richard Carpenter, conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London.
