It’s obviously why they released Let The Music Play as a standalone digital single - they’d have a playlist gap otherwise.
Woof.

Yes, they had to let the music play...

I wonder whether she'll sing it at the Jazz Café. https://thejazzcafe.com/event/janet-kay ... hompson-3/

Note that there's a difference with "Queen of Ice"
That looks like a playlist made from the original released songs, not an official mastered streaming Disco 5 release.
i could do a comparison, i'm getting my cd soon.

however, unless they changed the mastering from the originals.. they should be the same.
they might be adjusted for streaming platforms.

No one thinks it’s a new release. It’s literally a playlist made up of the component tracks that were already available. Don’t waste your time checking!
Woof.

Shame they couldn't make the full Queen Of Ice mix available for streaming. It is available digitally after all, albeit as a Beatport exclusive -_-
I'm here. You're there.

3rd listen and this has finally clicked for me. It’s never going to be my go to album but I’m now happy to have it in my collection.

It's a great listen with a good variety of tracks. I even understand what they are trying to do with the Tina track

WARNING!

If you buy the digital version of Disco 5 on iTunes you will get the wrong mix of Dreamland!

The digital download on iTunes is the single/album mix running 3m28s. The track is labelled Dreamland (feat. Olly Alexander) [PSB Remix] so it's not an intentional decision to differentiate the digital version of Disco 5 from the physical versions.

The Disco 5 CD has the correct Dreamland (PSB remix) running 4m41s with Paninaro drums.

Annoying mistake.

I still LOVE Disco 5 (and probably will never understand the hate...)

For me, it's a very good listen from start to finish! I was not THAT fond of the remixes individually when they were first released, but the CD is surprisingly a very cohesive listen!

I agree. I never understood the Disco 4 hate either.

Got the CD yesterday. Damn, there are some good mixes on it.
I love Hot For You Baby...it has rough edges, a merciless attitude. There are several mixes like that on D5: Innocent Money, The Triad Mix and the West End girls remix. That is a side of PSB we haven't really seen before. Part of Electric has that attitude but before that we really only got a soft glimpse of it on for example Atom Splitting.
D5 also has the finer/softer tunes like Let The Music Play (nice to hear some house piano).

PS:
Disco 4 did not reach this level of quality.
Disco 3 shouldn't have been a part of the Disco series, it should've been an album on its own.
Disco 2 gets better over the years
Disco is a masterpiece and perhaps their best album
