"The Gambler." Damn, that's funny! But I know exactly what you're saying. "Atmosphrique" is a great track, but it's not something that most people will dance to if you drop it in the middle of a set. Good to play on the radio, or bounce around to in your bedroom, or just enjoy for what it is, but a guaranteed floor-killer; sort of like dropping "Apathy" by 1000 Homo DJs at your cousin's wedding.

i love all 3 tracks on this vinyl and i rated it a 5, but there is one thing i'd like to point out. i djed at a party a few weeks back where almost everyone danced all night. the only time that the entire dancefloor cleared was when i dropped atmosphrique. i've never seen anything like it. you'd think that i dropped "the gambler" by kenny rogers for the reaction. and this was a crowd that was into a lot of diverse stuff like old school hip-hop, 70s soul, drum n bass, nu-deep house and much more.

my god, this track is sooo sick! metro area's "atmosphere" is beyond incredible! the ideal of someone twiddling away and creating this magnificent gem of a track, is truly mind boggling. this will sound hot in 2027 as easily as it wouldve in 1977, easily. its a shame that it is such hell to find a copy of this. but thats the nature of the game, i guess?! this shit is too hot. so hot, that i have to listen to it over and over and over....
like i said, environ is a label with incredible depth, texure and creative force. this track epitomizes everything wonderful about the label. i cant get enough, ever!
