by Alex Henderson After making Madhouse the Silver Convention's funkiest release, producer/songwriters Michael Kunze and Silvester Levay saw to it that the group's next album, Golden Girls, had as glossy and shiny a sound as possible. This isn't to say that parts of Golden Girls aren't funky by Euro-disco standards, but for the most part, this album is defined by its high-gloss approach. It sounds like Kunze and Levay were determined to make Golden Girls a campy and very stereotypical Euro-disco record, and they did a nice job. If you're a lover of the European disco sound, you'll find tracks like "Hollywood Movie" and "Disco Ball" impossible to resist because they're so unapologetically Euro-disco. Equally appealing is the ABBA-influenced single "Telegram" and a remake of "Save Me." Golden Girls wasn't what one expected after Madhouse, but even so, it was a welcome addition to the group's catalogue.
