REISSUE: "Cream (Always Rises To The Top)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Bionic Boogie





REISSUE: "Cream (Always Rises To The Top)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Bionic Boogie Gregg Diamond is responsible for a unique sound in disco music. He began his disco career in 1975 with Andrea True Connection's disco hit, "More, More, More". He managed to create a funky groove with the sweetness of disco strings and horns. Much like the Silver Convention. Bionic Boogie is a studio project from 1977 which takes Diamond's magic to another level. Studio musicians for these sessions were always the some of the sharp elements in these albums.The second album titled "Hot Butterfly" featured Luther Vandross, Cissy Houston, David Lasley and Zach Sanders. "Cream (Always Rises To The Top)" is a track from the project that was released as a 12" single with "Chains" on the flip side. The album is one of my favorite disco albums - both visually and disco wise. I have taken the LP version of "Cream..." and have given it the ReStructure personality - breaking down various segments of the original and adding a few more effects. This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to Mike Ronsensteel who always taught me the exciting feel of disco naturally.
