Metro Area 7 is on iTunes today. The A-side ("Read My Mind") is a vocal track, unusually enough. Can't download it yet, though, since I'm getting an error message whenever I try to check out. Goddammit.

"I've been obessively this magical Metro Area live mix from Pittsburgh in 2004. I wish I had a tracklist for the damn this; it's perfect!
-- gaseous (gaseous)"
yeah, where did you find that? that set was awesome, i was one of maybe 20 people in attendance. in fact, when they drop citispeak "don't need your handouts" that was at my request! i can ID many of the tracks on there, if anyone still needs it. a hell of a set!
also, i cant imagine all the criticism of their LP or their EPs that was happening earlier in the thread. that is just complete craziness, i cant think of any MA tracks that i dont like and many of them are classic dancefloor joints in pittsburgh (along with the "moves" and "super" EPs by morgan from the same time period as the first MA records). those are all what i would call classic house records to this day. sure, they owe alot to dub mixes on West End, Prelude, and Emergency, but how is that a bad thing?!?!

i've got mp3's and have been rocking this nonstop for a week now, 'erodyne' is so sublime, and the vocals on 'read my mind' are like butter!

that intro is fun exactly 1 time, then it's annoying. not as annoying as Carl Craig's intro but in the same category of annoying. it's completely fake and will be regretted by both DJ and MG in the very near future if they don't already regret doing it now. the rest of the mix is mixed very well but i just can't get into right now. maybe it will sound better when i'm craving this style/genre.

x-post oh ok yeah it has definitely been over-compiled lately.
i didnt find the intro went on long enough that it would get annoying, but i've just heard it for the first time so
― t_g, Thursday, 23 October 2008 18:12 (fifteen years ago) link
and calling the intro 'completely fake' is a bit weird
― t_g, Thursday, 23 October 2008 18:13 (fifteen years ago) link
not really. by 'completely fake' i mean, they weren't recording that intro live (triggering samples, playing the melodies, handclaps etc). so when they say, 'i like that bass, could use some girls singing....yeah ladies, clap, clap, clap' it sounds like they're directing the music when in fact, they're just reciting lines over a preexisting song, not actually playing anything or directing anything. that intro wasn't recorded live with them triggering samples as they recorded the vocals but thats what they try to pass off. thus, my comment that it's completely fake.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 23 October 2008 18:24 (fifteen years ago) link
what is the point of getting on the mic at the beginning of a dj mix anyway? like i said, it's still not as bad as Carl Craig's intro to his Fabric mix.

O rly???? good work, detective! ;)
it's obviously supposed to be a joke. I lolled.
― dmr, Thursday, 23 October 2008 19:35 (fifteen years ago) link
vahid, i agree on the italo being played out, boogie not as much, but almost there. what's hot in the world of u?
― jaxon, Thursday, 23 October 2008 19:47 (fifteen years ago) link
damn, wish I got the memo earlier! I would've sold all my italo and boogie on eBay for max bucks. Now nobody will want it because it's totally unlistenable. Metro Area definitely should have filled their fabric mix with some kind of next-level futuristic music that will influence them well into the 22nd century instead of those trendy teenybopper anthems you hear coming out of every car on the street like Poupée Flash and X-Rated Man.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 23 October 2008 20:55 (fifteen years ago) link
ha. i don't mean necessarily in terms of listening or going to dance to, i was agreeing in terms of compiling
― jaxon, Thursday, 23 October 2008 21:13 (fifteen years ago) link
i haven't heard the mix, so i can't comment
mix is dope
― omar little, Thursday, 23 October 2008 21:20 (fifteen years ago) link
I was more responding to Vahid anyway. I don't think those particular tracks are over-comped, and fwiw, I don't think there's much wrong with including a track you like in a mix just because you like the song and how it fits in with the mix. And it's a mix, not a compilation. I've complained about comps and bootlegs that have the same songs that were on last years comps and bootlegs, but if a DJ made a mix and decided Blue Monday or I Feel Love was an appropriate inclusion, what's the harm? But in this case, it's not like these are all the same songs you've heard on tons of italo and boogie comps and mixes, right? I haven't, but maybe I haven't heard that many.

best number one of the year anyway

I suppose it bears a superficial similarity to e.g. Disclosure, perhaps the yoot have caught on to that?
