Saturday Dance Party: THP Orchestra – Dancing is Alright

THP Orchestra's third LP, aptly titled THP 3 is one of my all time favorite dance records. The summer of 1979 was awesome in terms of the music coming out. And then "disco" died, but after a brief hiatus, reincarnated as "dance music." (I remember how my DJ friend Steve used to roll his eyes at the term.)

When I first heard Patrick Cowley's Megatron Man in 1981, I knew the genre—whatever you wanted to call it—was back, stronger and better than ever.
