By Various Artists - Soundtracks - 1998, 1998

Despite its title, director Whit Stillman's follow-up to Metropolitan and Barcelona isn't really about disco at all. It's more a story about young people coming of age, friends all a bit out of touch with the direction in which their lives are headed. So it makes sense that the songs included here--mostly disco chestnuts--are far from groundbreaking.

Contributions from Alicia Bridges, Diana Ross, Chic, and Sister Sledge are safe bets that give the film its Studio 54 shadings. Eveyln Champagne King's I Don't Know If It's Right and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' The Love I Lost may the lack the quirks of Doctor's Orders by Carol Douglas and Let's All Chant by the Michael Zager Band, but it still makes for a solid, fun collection of disco tunes. --Jason Verlinde
