Dating right back to 1975 and tracks like Gloria Gaynor's 'Never Can Say Goodbye' and 'KC & The Sunshine Band's 'Get Down Tonight', I have loved disco music. My seminal life experiences were all bookmarked by the advent, fall, and resurgence of the dance genre. Pop music in so many forms has helped me navigate a difficult life;  with the differing genres representing a part of my persona and what distinct spirit i have needed to muster to prevail over life's twists and turns. Hi NRG music has also been a really motivating and life affirming form of pop culture that I've embraced over the 5 decades I've been buying music. There has also been a most spiritual component to what music has entered my radius and when! I never stop believing in the power of synchronicity. I found this treasure 'Eye Contact' by British session singer Tessa Niles in 2000 (I'm not sure when it was recorded) but it was composed by Ian Levine and Fiachra Trench two of the most dynamic proponents of high energy music. Their productions for Miquel Brown were my introduction to this pair with Miquel's wonderfully camp confections 'So Many Men, So Little Time' and 'He's A Saint, He's A Sinner'. just two examples. I obtained this rare double CD '36 Unreleased Gems & Rare Classics' which was issued in 1996; finding it in a second hand music store four years later. 'Eye Contact' resonated with me immediately and I've since discovered that Tessa Niles is one of the most prolific and well respected session singers in the industry; having worked with the Who's Who of pop music as a back up vocalist primarily.  I never tire of this thumping, sexy and uplifting track.
