BONEY M "eye dance" vinyl 1985
their eighth and final album
Bobby Farrell returns on a couple of tracks here to try to boost their flagging fortunes
but alas, it didnt work, album failed to chart anywhere
even the girls didnt sing on most tracks, studio session girls took over on the other songs
theur distinct logo is missing from the cover and the band are not shown on the cover art which shows just how fragmented it had all become.
two covers on here and plenty of samples, the covers are:
Stevie Wonder's "my cherie amour" and 10CC's "dreadlock holiday".
songs have none of the charm of their distinct style, in fact for the most part the tracks are nondescript at best
a sad end to an enjoyable series of albums
their manager/producer/songwriter Frank Farian dumped them after this album and went on to produce Milli Vanilli.

fave is actually a traditional Carribean folk song which shows how bad the rest of the album is:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
