Rated 4/5
Review by scoundrel Feb 07, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Blippy electro-disco from Morgan Geist (one of the forefathers of the movement) and his partner-in-crime Darshan Jesrani under their moniker Metro Area. The tracks display nice blend of different elements, from deep house to Chicago-style disco house (with a extended stay in Detroit). The clear and unabashed love of funk (listen to the tootling voices on “Miura” or the old-skool rhythms on “Soft Hoop”) also add a sense of fun. There’s also a polished smoothness (like on “Machine Vibe” and “Orange Alert”). The simplicity of the songs both adds to their charm and makes them difficult to differentiate from one another, but still, for your late night pleasures, you’ll want to make a visit to this metro area.
