I recently ordered the first Musique album 'Keep On Jumpin' featuring the hits "In The Bush" and the title track


and now I'm curious about their second album 'Musique II',released in 1979:



Disco fans....how do these albums sound? Is the second album any good? Is there anything on there as wild and catchy as "In The Bush"?

Musique II wasnt all that great i remember Pat Adams not really feeling it and no it didnt do much in the clubs either, now the 1st album? sheeeeeit Summer love theme? kills in the bush by miles. Man how i miss the early days at Prelude.

do you remember the uproar that "In The Bush" caused? Many radio stations refused to play it,and the producer Patrick Adams later issued a public apology.He was concerned that young kids were hearing it.I used to walk around singing it,but I was too young to know what it was all about,lol.

IAintTheOne said:

the same "Shep Pettibone" who worked with Madonna?

I know,I know...you're not a disco fan,right?

IAintTheOne said:

on my list

SoulAlive said:

i remember that Pat HAD to do that, but all in all Parents bought the albums for the kids and it became a smash.Prelude became one of the leading Disco labels there was loads of competition with Butterfly,TK, Casablanca,AVI,

Back in those days,every other song was about dancing so I naturally assumed that "push,push,in the bush" was about a new dance crazy me,lol

SoulAlive said:

Ah well, I can bear to listen to some disco stuff (... and I prolly like a song or two here or there), but I'm mostly into the funky stuff

FuNkeNsteiN said:

you ever heard "In The Bush" by Musique?

IAintTheOne said:

You worked at Salsoul? Cool

SoulAlive said:

SoulAlive said:

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Them mothafuckas were tight. From what I hear, they were pretty in-demand session musicians.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

I never "met" anyone at the label a quick hi to Jocelyn brown at Prelude people would come into my booth and hug me and kiss me like they knew me for years. LOL crazy stories? nothing to nuts. I was just a kid being happy to be doing what i was doing.

IAintTheOne said:

Musta been one helluva cool job, even though you didn't get to meet any of the artists

FuNkeNsteiN said:

oh yeah,iloved every minute of it

the first Musique album only had four songs on it,right?

"Keep On Jumpin"
"Summer Love"
"In The Bush"
"Summer Love Theme"

On the CD I ordered,it's padded out with remixes and radio edits of those same four songs,lol.

SoulAlive said:

yeah i know, you gotta remember, most disco songs went on for 17:00 or more
