Product Description

Amazon.co.uk
It takes a special sort of guts to call your debut album I Created Disco, but that’s Calvin Harris all over. Hailing from Dumfries, Scotland, Harris comes on not unlike a day-glo cross between Les Rythmes Digitales, Prince and Mike ‘The Streets’ Skinner, dropping witty rhymes and sweet falsetto melodies atop chunky, ‘80s influenced electro-pop. "Merrymaking at My Place" is an all-back-to-mine anthem built from digital squeaks and a palpitating disco bassline that sees Harris leading the party in swaggering geezer manner. "Vegas" is as close as you’ll get to a bassbin-shaking ghetto anthem when you hail from north of Hadrian’s Wall. And "Colours" is a cheeky plea to any potential girlfriend that they dress to impress: "Get some colours on!" Rumour has it Harris has been recording with Kylie, and it’s easy to believe. Much like his lyrics, you see, these tracks are simple, but undeniably effective. Excellent breakthrough single "Acceptable In The ‘80s" bumps along with exactly the right mix of retro cheese and modern production gleam, while the title track pits stonking basslines and electronic whooshes against an amusing monologue about how Harris did, in fact, create disco. You won’t believe him, exactly, but he’s certainly got the patter. -- Louis Pattison

2.0 out of 5 stars CALVIN HARRIS - I CREATED DISCO, 7 Sep 2007
By Mr. D. J. Langley "Demon Davey" (cambs) - See all my reviews

Love all the singles, found the album really lazy on the ear. I really wanted to like Calvin but found it really hard. a bit hard work for album length, be very cautious before purchasing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Calvin Harris - I Created Disco, 17 Jul 2007
By C. Allen (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There's no doubting the popularity of this guy. He's everywhere!
And good luck to him, he's had a couple of excellent singles and now he has his all-important album.

This could have been a 5 star album but there are a couple of tracks which are a let down.

But i'm not one to dwell on negatives, i talk about positives, and there are plenty of these on here.

We all know Acceptable In The 80's and The Girls, but the tracks that really stand out include Colours, I Created Disco (my personal fav!) Disco Heat + Certified (a Mylo esque track).

Also worth a mention is Vegas, which is a cheeky edit of Acceptable In The 80's. Very similar track, but it's still v. good!

Recommended definitly for the music, but also just for the fact that he is dance music's biggest star at present, and you might want to know what all the fuss it about.

5.0 out of 5 stars They DID create disco!, 24 Jun 2007
By Andrew J. Bullock (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
By releasing "Acceptable In The 80s" and "The Girls", Calvin Harris has unveiled such alluring tasters to this album that it just cannot possibly disappoint. And it doesn't.

"I Created Disco" gets going right away! We are welcomed by the catchy "Merry Making At My Place", which serves its purpose as an initiation into the album - an example of the flawlessness to come; simple, yet utterly catching and enthralling, leading us further into the party with "Colours" - again, rather simple, but totally infectious - followed by the excessively 80s (yet very modern in its message) "This Is The Industry".

By this stage, you know the rest of the album will continue to impress as we approach the two tracks that have given us a sample of this album via the charts: "The Girls" and "Acceptable In The 80s"; the former bringing the band back to this century after the fantastically nostalgic feel of the latter.

We then continue further down the electric route with the slower "Neon Rocks", which is as mesmerizing as the faster tracks, in a relaxing rather than exhilarating approach.

Then comes "Vegas", which is so...Vegas! This is followed by title track "I Created Disco", which is actually one of the weaker tracks, inserting only a sporadic pleasing jingle into what is mostly a rather plain tune. Nevertheless, the pace picks itself up again instantly thanks to "Disco Heat", which provides exactly what its title promises, slotting us back into club-mode.

We wind down again when "Certified" arrives - an evocative, poignant, gentler track which is utterly relaxing and cool, leading immediately into the totally chilled, tropically jazzy "Loves Souvenir", and then ending with "Electro Man".

What makes the album refreshing is it offers both lyric-laced and instrumental tracks, dotted with one or two interludes that are industrially haunting in themselves.

The album is a night out and a house party encased into one. It's Human League meets Hooverphonic. It's 80s nostalgia combined with contemporary electronica. It's energetic yet relaxing. It is stylistic genius!
