Mixerr Album Reviews #2,572

Platinum Hook ‎– Ecstasy Paradise is an unreleased Motown album that only got issued as a test pressing on vinyl. Possibly for radio stations and music critics. Sadly Motown decided not to release this album because the disco era had come to an end by 1980 and a lack of charting singles. Disco was no longer popular and R&B/soul was already becoming a trending genre. The entire album is definitely funky.

Light As A Feather is funky disco instrumental backed with several layers of instrumentation. The horn selection, bongos, guitars, synthesizers, and keyboards. Horn selection helps this song prosper and stand out. Tongue clicking adds into the funky 70s disco sound. Listen closely.

Good to you is killer boogie funk. The song was a prime example of 80s funk that was coming from Detroit at the time this song was recorded.

Dancer is a funky groove and can do numbers on the dance floor. The song incorporates elements of dance, boogie, funk, and disco in one recording. Platinum Hook has that platinum touch when it comes to laying down the funk.

I rate this album 5/5*****!!
