This is the perfect party album, based in the sound of Philadelphia but embellished with a rootsy R&B feel. Best Of is an album of absolute gems from the disco era including the anthemic Disco Inferno and That's Where The Happy People Go.
The longer numbers like Disco Inferno and Disco Party have extended orchestrated rhythm breaks whilst the shorter songs are catchy and snappy dancefloor hits. One characteristic of the Trammps sound was the lovely vocal harmonies as in The Night The Lights Went Out and the moving love song Hooked For Life.
A song like Disco Party reminds me a bit of the music of Chic but the Trammps have a fuller sound infused with party noises and soulful vocal interplay. Soul Searching Time is another classic of the dancefloor with an engaging melody and blissfull vocals.
My other favorites include I Feel Like I've Been Living (On The Dark Side Of The Moon) with its great instrumental flourishes and the slow soul ballad Seasons For Girls. This album offers the best of one of the greatest bands of the disco era; their music has stood the test of time very well.
