After putting out four volumes of lounge-oriented music, the compilers of the Mood Mosaic compilation series did an abrupt about-face on their fifth installment. Mood Mosaic, Vol. 5: Supervixens -- A '70s Modal Collection is radically different from its predecessors because it abandons lounge entirely to concentrate on disco.
However, this doesn't mean it features tracks like "Heart of Glass" and "Y.M.C.A."; instead, Mood Mosaic, Vol. 5: Supervixens -- A '70s Modal Collection focuses on a series of obscure, lengthy tracks that will probably be known only to veteran clubgoers.
Listeners are rewarded with a few solid disco gems: Black Devil's "Follow Me" combines rhythmic programmed synthesizer and live drums in a way reminiscent of Giorgio Moroder, and Sylvia's "The Lollipop Man" is a sexily voiced and charmingly over-the-top tribute to television detective Kojak.
