Giorgio Moroder - From Here to Eternity (Casablanca Records)
On July 22nd, 1977, disco producer Girgio Moroder changed the music world. With his From Here to Eternity album, Moroder introduced the world to electronic disco, leading to the electronically-focused mainstream world we have today.
Daft Punk lovers beware - nothing they do had not been done before, as is quite evident on this release, containing songs such as the title track/album opener, a song that reeks of perfect late 70's/early 80s cheese and informed the next generation of DJs on how to make dance music the right way.
Another notable track is "Utopia Me Giorgio", the most electric-focused song on the album, and a harbinger of all disco and house to come - similar to the rest of the album, but with its hear clearly concentrating on the future.
If that weren't enough, the album's final track, "Too Hot to Handle" is its most playful, keeping the same instrumentation but channeling a toddlers joy in listening to such a revolutionary album. Perhaps the clearest example of Daft Punk's playful influence on an album that plays out like a greatest hits of the mainstream electronic band's main influence/originator.
