Remix albums became quite common in the 1980s, but when Epic released this

collection of Sly & the Family Stone remixes in 1979, the concept was still

relatively new. Ten Years Too Soon takes several of Stone's major hits (most of

them from the late 1960s) and tries to make them relevant to the disco scene of

1979. The club-minded makeovers that Luongo provides are, for the most part,

tastefully done, even though they aren't as exciting as the originals. And in

all fairness, Luongo isn't trying to improve Stone's hits; he's simply putting

his own spin on them. If you're a Sly Stone fan who also has a taste for disco

and dance-pop, you'll find Luongo's work to be mildly intriguing.
