A tribute to pioneering club DJ/producer Walter Gibbons, Walter’s Room delivers club-friendly grooves drenched in strings and horns, a classy marriage of disco and house that’s clearly heavily influenced not only by Gibbons’ elongated percussion-heavy remixes, but by that orchestrated, effortlessly smooth late 70s Philly disco sound too. It’s a seductive and classy dance floor album that managed to directly reference its inspiration and sources — disco, jazz, jazz funk, garage — while creating a potent set of fresh new tracks that sounded completely contemporary at the time and which have dated very well indeed.
