"At The Concert" by Bill Summers and Summers Heat As Don Cornelius would say..."It's a groove that sho-nuff makes you wanna move. It's Bill Summers and Summers Heat gettin' that stuff tough enough". Andy has spoken dammitt. | |

Aww yeah yeah.....that whole album was MAJOR that year. Was always interesting to me how "non-conventional" Bill was & the road he took to the top that year.
I got a full tank-a-gas, baby, it's just been polished & waxed & can't nobody tell me a mafockin thang! | |

He really was cool...always cutting edge.....I invite ya'll to check out "London Style" from a year or so after this cut.....still sounds edgy to me. He's a unique talent. Is that from the "Jam The Box" album or the one with "Seventeen"? The only Bill Summers and Summers Heat album I have is "Call It What You Want" and a few 45s from the other albums.

"London Style" was from 83. You might remember the main jam offa that joint....was called "Techno-Bop". Noooo. I didn't know they made an album in 1983. The last thing they ever played from Bill Summers and Summers Heat in my area was "Seventeen" from 1982. I never heard from them again and just figured they retired. Andy has spoken dammitt. | |

Yeah.....I thought it was the most "inovative" of Bill's stuff, too (apart from the shit with Bill Lasswell & that bunch)

It was the same in my area,too.After the song "Seventeen" (from the fall of '82),I never really heard anything else from them.I assumed they broke up. The 'Seventeen' album took them in a whole new direction.The music is very New Wav-ish and synth-heavy....much different than the previous albums.I don't think this strategy worked for them,though.I like the title track but the rest of that album leaves me cold. | |
