Arabesque
Marigot Bay
Arabesques third LP, "Marigot Bay" (also known as "Arabesque III"), was released 1980 and was a little unusual one in
the sense of the music itself. All in all, Disco was four of five years old and had become a little unfashionable to the
general public. So, now we can call "Marigot Bay" "an album where Euro Disco was born" - the dance rhythms and the
singers natural charms were reinforced with things unusual for the pure American Disco style, specifically the rocknroll
guitar and vocal stylings. So the glorious results: "Jingle Jangle Joe" sounded very much like a remake of Chers 1966
hit "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and "Take Me Dont Break Me" is a true rocknroll tune with a Disco beat. And one
more thing: "Marigot Bay" was the very first album in the history of Disco where the songs have quite serious lyrics,
not just "dance, dance, dance..." But the ballad "The Only Night Was A Lonely Night" stands head and shoulders over all
the other songs on the album, and it was one of the most popular Arabesques tracks in then-USSR. This latest Mirumir
re-issue is a truly deluxe one: all songs are remastered from the analog tapes, sleeve design restored on silver foiled
card paper and theres 8-page booklet with song lyrics and rare band photos.
