This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
In my book, Boney M are easily the cheesiest disco act of all time — which is, of course, another way of saying they’re the ultimate disco act.
Now, the co-ed creators of classics like Rasputin and Rivers of Babylon try to stave off their expiration date by repackaging themselves for the new millennium, enlisting cutting-edge mixmasters such as Sash! and Doug Laurent to slice and dice their old tunes into megamixes for today’s club kids. It’s crassly commercial, sure, but remember, this is the band that issued a disco Christmas album. And unlike other oldsters trying to act hip (are you listening, Engelbert?), Boney M are right at home on the dance floor. After all, they were among the first to recut their songs into extended dance mixes back in the ’70s. Hmm. Turns out that along with being the cheesiest disco act, they may also be the savviest.
