Mike OTM. I'm surprised by how much I'm liking this, given that I either don't know or don't flip for most of the artists that Mr. Polar is being compared to.
I also don't know who Chelonis is. So wider reach by one.

didn't they have a semi-big (indie "big") rec?

Ha, I know who he is, in the sense that I've read articles about him and seen his name listed on bills around Chicago, but I've never actually heard his music.

ha, I'm breaking my brane trying to think of what the vocals around 0:47 in "my beauty in the moon" remind me of, but I keep getting distracted by the awesome "empire state human" beat!

Get it from Fluxblog if you haven't yet, it is the business. It's settled, I am buying this the day of release. I will knock over nuns and the elderly in my haste.

I'll confess I had Metro Area lumped in with that Italo-disco revival thing as a name, I had no idea they were even contemporary! How's the Morgan Geist solo stuff (been having a quick lookup on discogs y'see) should I ever happen to bump into it?
― login name (fandango), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 05:54 (eighteen years ago) link
Geist's solo stuff is fantastic, and 90% of it sounds nothing like Metro Area. The stuff he's done since starting Metro Area, I sometimes like more then Metro Area, because Darshan ruins everything he touches. Seriously though, the Super EP is, well, self-explanatory.

i was quite enjoying it in the rain yesterday, but i'm curious about how the people who are OVER THE MOON are listening to the record... How do you hear this? Something sexy for when you're with your boy or ladyfriend? Something close coolhot and reassuring in the dark/rainyness? wax-faced dancefloor stunna? Something else? It seems similar in -function- to the Junior Boys record, but the enthusiasm here seems rather more, I don't know, active. I'm wondering not about what appeals to people, or what the precedents/sound-alikes are, but whee/when/how it's bringing you the crazydeep pleasures.
― sean gramophone (Sean M), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 09:59 (eighteen years ago) link
please elaborate?? I don't think Geist's solo stuff post-Metro Area differs much at all from the Metro Area itself. I've always been curious to hear some solo Darshan stuff to sort of pick out his influences in the Metro Area sound. But honestly, I'm curious to know what your talking about. What's ruined on the M.A full length!?! shit is perfect to me.
