Disco Not Disco is a compilation album from the Disco Not Disco series released by Strut Records in 2000. The album is a probe to experimental side of disco and punk genres and underground music scene in general. The first volume is more rock and funk oriented and features three experimental studio projects by Arthur Russell, namely Dinosaur, Indian Ocean and Loose Joints, British New Wave musician Ian Dury, and even musicians like Yoko Ono, Steve Miller Band or jazz trumpeter Don Cherry.[2][1][3][3]

It was compiled by Joey Negro, a British DJ and producer.[1]

Some songs included on this album did well on the Billboard Club chart.[4][5][6][7]

The song "Cavern" by Liquid Liquid was also used in Grandmaster Flash song called "White Lines (Don't Do It)".[8]

Reception

  • Allmusic (4.5/5) – states that "not only does the music stand on its own (there's a reason why thousands of young DJs and vinyl hounds collapsed in confoundment upon finding out that these rare gems were being issued together), but the liner notes provide a story behind each song, only adding to the mystique."[1]
