Metro Area (and if you want also Morgan Geist) (and now Storm Queen)

excellent, thanks a lot!

oh hell yeah

Oh wow! Classic album and fascinating playlist to join it! Wish all artists made this for their albums, always love hearing the influences behind each song.

There's a nice remaster now out of the original Metro Area LP, with a cleaner sound (especially in the bass) and segues between tracks removed. No bonus tracks.

and you can get it on cassette.

I'm ready for my Storm Queen album, Mr. Geist.

sometimes i think this album is the best thing that ever happened to me

I've been looking for a Metro Area live dj mix that I lost awhile ago... it started with Queen Samantha's "take a chance" and segued into Visual's "the music's got me"... and it's like 3 hours long, iirc? Wish I had it back.

The world may be falling apart, but if you feel like buying a triple-vinyl package at this juncture may I suggest our 3LP @MetroAreaNYC repress? About 300 copies are hitting stores now. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/vaz1j5qcpH

wow! I'm so happy :D

although I hope this doesn't mean that Damon C. Scott is no longer part of the project.

New project Au Suisse, a collaboration with Kelley Polar, second "single" up today:

(1/3) This past weekend marked 20 years since the first release of our Metro Area album. We wanted to do something nice for the 20th anniversary, but we had already remastered and re-released the album for the 15th. So this time around, we’re doing something a bit different. pic.twitter.com/fVjSr6xQ9G

(2/3) Environ has remastered and will reissue the first four 12” records: Metro Area, Metro Area 2, Metro Area 3 and Metro Area 4. Unlike the album reissue, these include the original, extended 12” versions of all songs, including some which have never been re-released.

The good news is we have the test pressings and the remastering and cuts by @mattcolton sound absolutely incredible. The bad news is the supply chain is upside down and release dates have been delayed to early 2023. But we wanted to at least announce the news this week.

I had to open up 20 year old quark files in indesign to make that artwork. They were a mess.

i heard you ripped something off for that artwork ... but i don't know what. please tell us

late 70s/early 80s Virgin Records vinyl labels.

ahh!! in my defense, according to discogs i only have one of those (the rest have the "conjoined twins" art)

oops sorry for large img

think it was used on more new wave releases, which was very much the vibe when listening to Atmosphrique.

i am old wave, like the laurie spiegel jam
