lcd soundsystem and dfa haunchos james murphy and pat mahoney used peter gordon's music liberally through out their recent fabriclive comp. those compositions, underpinned with disco and gilded with noisy guitar bursts, hanging piano chords and saxophone wails, exhibited not only gordons kaleidoscopic vision as a musician, but his precision as a producer and composer. featuring avant experimentalists and downtown legends david byrne and arto lindsay as well as love of life orchestra co-founders gordon and david vantieghem, these tracks shine a light on the work of an artist whose influence on dance music is recognizable more than three decades later. gordon's hefty contribution to music is given an up-close look withlove of life orchestra, a retrospective of the composers work. compiled here are the aforementioned singles and songs that show the breadth and quality of gordons output. 'extended niceties' unfurls a dizzying call-and-response between blaring sax and synths, while the expansive 'roses on the disco floor' builds in intensity, size and tempo as it nears its epic end. the album is rounded out with another heartbreak/ dont dont redux, gordons own reworking of the seminal opening medley, which freshly reinterprets the original's sax lead and adds new synthesizer parts.
