『DEFINITIVE N-R-G』・・・N-R-Gで「エナジー」って読みます。
みるからに怪しいジャケット写真ですネ~ッ(笑)
アバクロっぽくもありますが、完全にゲイです。(って別に差別してる訳ではありません)
内容は、エイティーズ前半に欧米のゲイの人達に持てはやされ、通称『ゲイ・サウンド』とも呼ばれていたHi-NRG(ハイ・エナジー)・ミュージックのコンピレーションです。
リップマークでお馴染みの英国のHi-NRG名門レーベル『PASSION』(パッション)が監修を務めていますので選曲は申し分なし。
![$BACK TO The 80’s...バック・トゥ・"Da"・エイティーズ](https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20130315/11/backtothedancefloor/0a/b2/g/t02200145_0303020012458066616.gif?caw=800)
Vol.1~3まで全て4枚組みでリリースされたので合計12枚というかなりのボリュームです。
ちなみに4枚目にはノンストップのMega-Mixが各々収録されてます。
先日、『DANCE MUSIC LOVERS』~エイティーズ・プロデューサー列伝の第6弾で紹介した英国ロンドンを代表するプロデューサー『Legend Of Hi-NRG』Ian Levine(イアン・レビン)の名作の数々が目白押しです。
「Hi-NRG好きな方は是非揃えてみてはいかかでしょうか。」

「なっ、なんでーーーーーーーーーーーーーーッ?もしかしてチョットした嫌がらせ??」
