All songs co-written by G.A. Saraf or G. Mart except "I'll Be There" (I. Karmann/F. Weber), "Fallin' In Love" and "Fallin' In Love (Spike Mix)" (Dan Hamilton/Ann Marie Hamilton).
The booklet for this disc contains a drawing of a huge mechanical gear, and that about sums up La Bouche's approach to dance music. This is relentless, machine-made music, the kind that has always (and will always) filled the world's dance floors with sweating, churning bodies. It's not entirely synths and sequencers, though. Melanie Thornton throws a soulful element into the mix--her solid voice. It rides on top of the incessant disco stomp of the hit "Sweet Dreams" (heavily borrowed from Eurythmics), and winds around the sinewy remake of the ubiquitous '70s smash "Fallin' in Love" (originally done by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds). Yes, thanks to La Bouche, the beat goes on...and on...and on.
La Bouche's music is pretty direct. The duo, comprised of Lane McCray and Melanie Thornton, are a Euro-pop combo that turns out tightly-constructed psuedo-disco songs with just enough pop flourishes to make their sound appealing to mainstream listeners. There's not much here in the way of songs -- every track is basically repeated grooves, with a couple of catchy hooks overdubbed on top -- but the sound is quite good and should be appealing to dance fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Good Buy!! If you want good, pumpin' high NRG Eurodance music, then this is the CD for you! Enough said, just buy the CD. I'm not a representative for CD Universe, I'm just a college student that likes to dance, so I guess you can say that I'm an expert (a-hem).
