The French group Voyage has been covered here before when we featured their 1980 tune I Love You Dancer. Souvenirs is from 1978 and is a glamorous pure disco dance floor burner. This rare Hot Tracks remix from 1983 on Power Records attempts to put a modern spin on the sound and removes the vocals. While it is at a more gentle tempo, they removed a lot of what made the original track so great. On the end of the track it seems they added a bit of a Muzak version for good measure.

This mix is a collection of songs that might have been played on this Bozak mixer when it was installed by Richard Long Associates (RLA) in the legendary NYC club Inferno. This club was in Midtown and was the stomping grounds of house music legends David Morales and Roman Ricardo. I really hope some of their talent rubs off! Bozak mixers are unique because the circuit is discrete which allows way more headroom than mixers with IC chips. Also, the nature of the design puts the tape outs before the tone control, so the signal that is recorded is flat.

Voyage were a french disco band that formed circa 1976 and scored only one US hit single in 1979 with the track "Souvenirs". The band released its third LP in 1980 featuring the single "I Don't Want to Fall in Love Again". The B side?? was a little song entitled "I Love you Dancer". The track is a sexy fusion of disco and new wavey pop with jazzy guitar chords thrown in for good measure. There isn't really much more I can say about this one except that it is a serious heavy hitter. Let the pricey as hell ebay listings of the 12 inch speak for themselves.
