Adventures in the Land of the Good Groove
''Adventures in the Land of the Good Groove'' is the first solo studio album by American R&B guitarist, producer and founder of band Chic, Nile Rodgers. Following a number of commercial failures with Chic, Rodgers struck out on his own writing and producing his first solo album. The album was not a commercial success.
Years later in his autobiography, Rodgers described his feelings about the album at the time ''"I knew it was a flop right away. I'd been so afraid of being labelled a disco musician that I was too tentative about the album's direction. And the songs weren't hooky enough. Over all, I wasn't clear philosophically or sure what I was trying to say''."〔Rodgers, Nile ''Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco and Destiny'. Sphere (2012) pp. 186.〕
The album was welcomed by some however. Rodgers' autobiography describes how David Bowie praised a test pressing of the album while the two were working on Bowie's ''Let's Dance''; he stated "Nile...if you make a record for me half as good as that, I'll be very happy".
==Cover==
The cover shows a faux antique map of the 17th century which uses Lower Manhattan to represent ‘The Land of the Good Groove’. Dog Latin is used. For example Brooklyn is labelled Terra Incognita and New Jersey is Nova Joisea. Some of Lower Manhattan’s streets and avenues are shown as Twenty-Thirdium, Houstanus, Canalus and Via Broadicus. Other areas include Tribeccium, Terra Financicus and Villagius Easticus.〔Jacobs, Frank Strange Maps 344 Adventures In The Land Of The Good Groove ()〕
