As all-night DJ sets became the norm, "morning music" -- soft, shimmering records defined by their spacious production and more relaxed rhythms -- became synonymous with their dénouements, signifying not only the end of an evening of dancing but also the beginning of a new day; these records would prove enormously influential on the next generation of electronic music, particularly the trance camp. A virtual "greatest" hits of morning music, this third volume in Candystore's Mighty Real series assembles 11 genre-defining classics that capture the innocence that is so intrinsic to disco's decadence. Highlights include When in Rome's superb Depeche Mode/New Order pastiche "The Promise," Thelma Houston's gorgeous "Saturday Night-Sunday Morning," and Sparks' ingenious "With All My Might." ~ Jason Ankeny minimize
