After he turned 70, French disco innovator Marc Cerrone celebrated half-a-century in the music business with the release of Cerrone by Cerrone, a continuously mixed set of reworked hits from throughout his storied career. He originally made updated versions of these songs for his DJ sets, keeping the essence of the songs intact but updating the production for contemporary dancefloors. This mix presents the retouched songs in action, blended with a few remixes by other producers, including previously released versions by Dimitri from Paris and Joey Negro. The majority of the tracks feature re-recorded vocals by Brendan Reilly, who appeared on Cerrones 2016 dance-pop effort Red Lips as well as albums by Disclosure, Basement Jaxx, Duffy, and many others. The songs have largely held up, and the production mainly stays true to the classic 70s disco sound, seamlessly flowing into more of a disco-house style on several tracks. Dimitris lush remix of the sweet, saucy "Love in C Minor" is especially grand, and it segues into a strong version of "Je Suis Music." "The Impact," from Cerrones incredible 2020 space-disco voyage DNA, is a more hypnotic diversion, and a bit of vocoderized lyrics from another song ("The Only One") helps thematically bond it with the rest of the album. "Striptease" is another dazzling, sequencer-heavy highlight. ~ Paul Simpson

デビュー50周年を迎えたフレンチ・ディスコの巨匠が盟友ドン・レイへの提供曲を含む自身のクラシックをリワークし、ノンストップで繋いだ企画盤。ディミトリ・フロム・パリらのリミックスも含むが、多くの曲でブレンダン・レイリーがソウルフルな歌声を乗せることで現代のダンス・ミュージックに生まれ変わり、結果としてウィークエンドあたりに通じる〈新譜〉となった。"Call Me Tonight"はイタリアの人気デュオが歌った伊語版も収録。
