Originally released on RCA in 1976, “Don't Stop Now” is a masterclass in mid-70s Disco, blending driving rhythms with sophisticated atmospheric textures and lush orchestral arrangements. Produced by the legendary Warren Schatz, this expanded 2014 edition features the original LP plus rare bonus 7" and 12" versions, all meticulously restored for high-fidelity playback. From the relentless groove of the title track to the soulful "Under the Skin," this is the quintessential sound of the pre-Studio 54 era.

💬 MY PERSONAL TAKE / МОИ МЫСЛИ

RU:
Второй альбом "The Brothers" — это уже не просто набор каверов, а полноценное, взрослое диско с мощным уклоном в филадельфийский звук. Работа Уоррена Шатца здесь просто безупречна: аранжировки стали богаче, звук — более глубоким и атмосферным. Ремастер 2014 года от Funkytowngrooves во FLAC — это лучший способ услышать этот релиз; они вытянули всю чистоту струнных и хлесткость ударных, не убив при этом аналоговую душу. "Under the Skin" и заглавная "Don't Stop Now" — это абсолютные бриллианты жанра, которые в 2026 году звучат как эталон танцевальной музыки высокого класса.

EN:
"Don't Stop Now" marks the point where The Brothers evolved into a truly sophisticated disco powerhouse. Moving beyond the "studio project" feel of their debut, this album leans into lush, symphonic arrangements and driving, rhythmically rich grooves that defined the peak of the mid-70s. The 2014 remastering by Funkytowngrooves is surgical in its precision—in 16-bit FLAC, the brass sections are punchy and the atmospheric layers of the 12" mixes feel massive. It’s a nostalgic yet vital listening experience for anyone who values the complex musicianship that fueled the early disco movement. A masterclass in energy and elegance.
