Go West

Village People

A high-gloss disco odyssey defined by utopian brass hooks and sweeping orchestral strings. The sound of 1979 at its most optimistic and cinematic.

March 26, 1979 · Mercury

Find on Amazon

A relentless, wide-eyed optimism that feels both grandly cinematic and intimately communal.

The transition into the high-stepping, military-style drum cadence on Citizens of the World.
The way the brass section punches through the lush string arrangements on Manhattan Woman.
