First Love Azoto - Dont Say Goodnight San Salvador

Review by JC Zuzierla-Torpey

Don’t Say Goodnight San Salvador: A Funky Little Time Capsule from 1987 Alright, buckle up, because we’re diving into Don’t Say Goodnight San Salvador, the groovy brainchild of First Love Azoto. Released in ‘87 under Rams Horn Records (Netherlands represent!), this album is like that one friend who shows up to a party wearing neon spandex—loud, unapologetic, and kinda unforgettable. It’s got all the hallmarks of late-night disco vibes with just enough funk and soul sprinkled on top to keep things spicy. Now, let me break it down for ya. The album kicks off with “Love Me Today,” which is basically your quintessential love anthem but with extra cheese—and I mean that in the best way possible. Think saxophone solos so smooth they could butter toast, paired with vocals dripping in sincerity. It’s the kind of track that makes you wanna grab someone by the hand and twirl them around the living room, even if said living room hasn’t been vacuumed in three days. You’ll remember this one because it sticks to your brain like gum under a club chair—annoyingly catchy yet oddly endearing. Then there’s the titular bop, “Don’t Say Goodnight.” Oh man, where do I start? This song feels like being trapped inside a glitter ball while someone sprays you with champagne—it’s over-the-top euphoric. The bassline slaps hard enough to wake the neighbors, and the chorus? Pure ear candy. There’s something about the way the singer pleads not to call it quits on the night that screams desperation mixed with hope, like begging your Uber driver to take a detour past the after-hours spot. Spoiler alert: you’ll hum this tune while brushing your teeth tomorrow morning. Oh, and how can I forget the double whammy of “San Salvador”? Both versions—the vocal and instrumental—are worth a spin. If you’re feeling dramatic, go for the vocal cut; if you’re more of a background-beats-while-cooking type, the instrumental has got your back. Either way, it’s got an exotic flair that transports you straight to a beachside fiesta—or at least as close as you can get without leaving your couch. So yeah, Don’t Say Goodnight San Salvador isn’t perfect. Some tracks feel a bit dated (hello, shoulder pads), and the production occasionally veers into cheesy territory. But honestly? That’s part of its charm. It’s raw, fun, and doesn’t try too hard to be cool—which ironically makes it cooler than most modern albums trying to recapture that retro magic. Final thought? Listening to this record feels like finding an old mixtape in your attic—you know, the kind that reminds you of simpler times when life was all about big hair, bigger dreams, and dancing like nobody was watching. Except now, thanks to Spotify, everyone is watching. Oops. Rating: 7/10 – solid gold for nostalgia junkies, questionable for anyone born after Y2K.
