Meco

Hey, remember this guy? Meco did some disco remixes of movie themes & such back in the early 80's, some of which were pretty good...(notice I said "some"...)

"The Best of Meco"

1. "Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band"--instrumental (3:47)
2. "Empire Strikes Back (Medley): Darth Vader/Yoda's Theme"--instrumental (4:05)

Found this mostly instrumental "best of" CD and thought I'd pick it up for a laugh. Unfortunately, the joke was on me. There's some HORRIBLE material on here...especially that putrid "Wizard of Oz" selection (ack!), plus a terrible cover of "Spooky" (you know, the song that goes, "Life is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you...") Basically, anything with vocals here is GUARANTEED to suck. Not even "Meco's Theme" is as good as I remember it. Oh well, at least the Star Wars stuff is great, especially that 16-minute "LP version" medley.
