That whole Festival Evita album is a masterpiece--I have a book on disco music, mainly obscure stuff, and theypicked it as their fave Eurodisco album. It was done by Russian/American (though classified as Eurodisco) maestro Bob Midney, who many think was thebest of the best. He was commisioned to do the Evita adaptation by Stigwood, Evita's producer, and it was released 6 months before the premier. Festival was his made up name for the band for that album--he used a bunch of names (Caress, Beautiful Bend, Masquerade, USA/European Connection). That actually might be his most mainstream work, but his other stuff was often, by disco standards, very avant garde full of discordant patches, melodies that came out of nowhere, random vocals, sudden jabbing strings. He was the first to use a 48 part studio recording technique too. (I actually think his one weakness was the vocalists he used).

It's the kinda stuff thehardcore disco DJs would play but you'd never hear at a mainstream disco like 54

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
