Product Description

CD Description

While the death of disco in the late `70s appeared to be a doom sentence for bands like Chic, for group leaders Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards it presented a unique opportunity to stretch out into production for artists as diverse as the B-52's, Diana Ross, and Robert Palmer, and star-studded side-projects such as the Honeydrippers and Power Station. Even as hip-hop and dance music usurped many of Chic's skeletal funk innovations in the `80s, the group remained a vital behind-the-scenes influence for many of those styles. By 1992, the timing seemed right for a reunion of sorts, and CHIC-ISM (the group's final studio album) doesn't miss a beat with its of-the-era contemporary R&B and house sound. While not breaking any new ground, songs like "High" (almost a reprise of"Good Times") and the strings-driven instrumental "M.M.F.T.C.F" are a compelling recap of what made Chic's hit-making formula so enjoyable in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chicism by Chic, 5 May 2005
By Alison Doris (Renfrewshire, Paisley United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Nile and Rodgers have surpassed themselves yet again - it's different to the traditional chic music but has that unforgettable sound!

3.0 out of 5 stars not quite classic chic, 3 April 2009
By AK Wise "Ernie" (York, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just when i thought 'Believer' had risen as the ghost of Chic, I found Chic-ism. I quite liked this album at first, but it now seems so dated, and so early 90's. Some songs sound like copies of a few of the greats, such as 'I want your love' from c'est chic but this album tries to copy the great period of 'Chic/C'est Chic/Risque/Real People/Take it off', but this album is ten years too late, and instead sounds like a tired-funked up-remix of hits released years earlier. This really was the 'last' Chic album. Alfa and Lucy had gone, and replaced by two screechy unknowns. Nile was still experimental, but better employed producing his much loved pop records. Bernard, I suspect, tried to hang on to the Chic formula. It makes me sigh when i pick up the album, and long for the old magical, sparkling-diamond-days of classic Chic.This album is better than 'believer' & possibly 'Tongue in chic', but a reminder of just how great Chic really were in the late 70s and early 80's, and how much they dived there-after.
