Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, 'I Feel Love' completely revolutionized dance music by abandoning traditional string and horn arrangements in favor of entirely synthesized backing tracks. Built around an unrelenting, pulsating Moog sequencer bassline, Summer's ethereal, floating vocal performance creates a hypnotic sense of euphoria. Brian Eno famously declared upon hearing it that it would 'change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years.'
