Wounded Bird packages together two of Deodato's pop efforts from the 1980s in this issue. Happy Hour was released in 1980 and scored big with its title track. Deodato was evolving from his disco-drenched albums of the late '70s here, and adding slick radio pop into his bag of tricks. The deep keyboard-driven basslines and faux disco beats were still prevalent in the mix, but they were being textured and expanded upon with slippery jazz tropes and funk riffs. The big vocal choruses and the lead vocals of Kelly Barretto, Eban Kelly, and Candi Staton cover the lion's share of the set. One of the more surreal moments here is the cover of Smokey Robinson's "Tears of a Clown" with its handclaps, John Sussewell's thin, loopy snare drum, and the ARP Pro-Soloist synth driving the whole thing with Steve Greenfield's alto playing his best Tom Scott soloing and vamping on the melody. Motion, released in 1984, is a far more electronic affair. The keyboard-drenched production of the 1980s is in full flower here, with Linn and DMX drums programmed all over the place and multi-layered synthesizers everywhere. In fact, the very notion of song takes a back seat to the terrain of sound itself. This is music for the dance club, but it has little to do with disco -- its rhythms are looped and linked but remain utterly uninteresting, and the sonics, while bright and silvery, are paper thin. The album's single was "Never Knew Love," a characteristic bit of urban pop-funk tossed into the mix for balance. Katreese Barnes' lead vocals are a breath of fresh air after the futuristic funk catastrophe of "S.O.S., Fire in the Sky." The funky disco fusion of "Bus Stop" is catchy but utterly unimaginative. In fact, most of this record sounds like it could have been cranked out in Deodato's sleep.
