-based house triumvirate radiate a real "Let's do-a- disco-pastiche!" feeling. Serious or not, Eric D. Clark,

and Hans Niewandt have obviously hit the right key, as this single, taken from their second album ''Dense Music'' has already been a hit in Italy. In Holland, it is one of the favourite dance videos on music television channel TMF. Station head of music Erik Kross is enthusiastic about the track, but concedes: "It is a kind of 'love-it-or hate-it' track. A little resistance is always good, though, as it makes people talk about it." However, Kross predicts "From: Disco to: Disco" will be around for a while this summer. "Although it won't by far become as big a hit as Bellini's " Samba de Janeiro"," he suggests, "it has all the elements of a genuine sleeper." '' Spex'' included "From: Disco to: Disco" in their "The Best Singles of the Century" list in 1999.
