There's one particular Matthew Jonson record that sounds very Metro Area - can't for the life of me remember which one though

You know what, I nearly asked the same Q yesterday. I guess there's a few, and it's all a matter of opinion. I can't add to Putsch/Kerrier though. Someone said to me recently that they really like a couple of the Kerrier District tracks - more so than the Metro Area stuff. (which I didnt agree with). But, and here's the thing. Can Metro Area really lay 'claim' to that sound? Given, they were the first to update stuff in that manner, but I wouldn't have said it was a 'new' sound, there's alot of records from the early 80's that sound a lot like Metro Area in my opinion. David Keaton's "Space Control" on Roulette sounds very Metro Area I think. There's flippin loads, I can't even think of them off the top of my head, I'll have to look through my records. I dunno, electronic boogie records are what I call 'em. Having said that, I do think Metro Area is a very ace project. I'd like to see it go further now, I reckon vocals and song stuff would go brilliantly like this, and those two would make pretty great producers of that sort of stuff I think. Blah.
