    Heatwave Treading Water

    Pros: Dancable and entertaining

    Cons: Not as funky as other releases

    Heatwave are usually written off as a disco band but it wasn't until 1980's 'Candles' that Heatwave came as close to out and out disco as they ever did and just at the wrong time.That being said the songs on this album are actually ve...ry strong-all of Heatwave's songs are.Because they are songwriters in addition to great musicians.Of the uptempo tunes "Gangsters Of The Groove","Jitter
    buggin","Posin&
    #39; Til Closin'" and "Dreamin' You" are very catchy indeed if very click.Even the most discoish of all songs "Party Suite" is very memorable.On the smoother "Turn Around" Heatwave strike back with another smooth groove classic-great orchestration and harmonizing."Where Did I Go Wrong" is one of the most impressive songs here-a trip back to the sound of street corner doo-wop and a sure fire soul classic in the "Always And Forever" vein.Heatwave do pull out one serious funk splatter in "Goin Grazy" and it's one of their best.None of Heatwave's five albums are musically anything alike but their distinctive style always shone through.'Candles' is more different then any of the others but despite it's rarity it's still wonderful to hear
