Disco sucks. Which makes it a useful tool for new-wavers, no-wavers, and contrarian soundmakers of all kinds, who can slingshot around disco's gravity into bad taste from behind, who can wink their way into music that's actually kind of fun.
This collection doesn't let arch/noisy pretentions get in the way of a good time - y'all can be as mutant as you want, but you gotta make the people move.
The argument seems to be that there's something good in disco, if only you could strip of its uncoolness, and the easiest way to do that is to make it even less cool and go around the horn. It mostly works, though the album as a whole falls into an uncanny middle ground: not quite easy fun, not quite artsy strange, not quite sure if its making a statement or having a laugh 3/5
