Interesting curio from Donna Summer is better than the nondescript A

A

tough match
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

There's a fine line between soulful vocals and shrieking divas, and A crosses it. For what it's worth the 80s reverb-filled bombast hasn't yet set in by this time, but it only makes the experience mildly less excruciating. Can't say I care much for B either, but the driving beats and repetitive synth lines are more my thing than anything that's on its opposition, so it takes this one handily. B

B is all I still hate about disco.

A is a nice enough deep cut.

Oooh; difficult one. I like the gospelly tinge to the backing vocals etc on A. B is flipping Donna Summer who just IS.... and I like the electro stuff underneath....

B is almost slowed-down techno - the drums are okay, but the synth is porn theater level. Much more interesting and new to me, is New Birth, where there is lots to explore, all wrapped up in lo-fi echo. A

Well, that was a shock - not that it lost, but that the penumbrous piscine chose a Eurodisco dad-dancing cut. Of all the people I could imagine picking that, I suspect he would have been the last to come to mind. Looks like he's finally getting the measure of the Brigade of Cloth-eared Bellends.
Well played, you wanker.

It was a last minute change of mind, because I thought I'd submitted too much folk already, and I'm fairly obsessed with New Order's "Temptation", so this track sprang to mind. And dad-dancing is allowed, it's the only perk of the position. My flossing has become a thing of legend.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
