VARIOUS ARTISTS
UNCLASSICS #4
Hot on the heels of the UNCLASSICS mix CD, the fourth UNCLASSICS vinyl
voyage features a trio of sonic sauciness guaranteed to funk up your
dancefloor!
Discotheque's "Disco Special" immediately became one of Morgan Geist's
favorite disco records when he dug it up in the used bin of a Boston
record
store in 1996. The track in question is a gorgeous musical
masterpiece both
in terms of composition and production. It seems to hit on every
aspect of
what we love about disco: the electronic synth patterns, the organic
drums,
piano and bass, and one of the fiercest and elegant percussion breaks
put to
wax.
Zodiac's "Pacific" was a hit when released in the USSR in 1980, even
though
you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who knows the track outside
that
country and time period. This track truly sounds timeless: a Balihu
record
from 1980! A cross between electronic funk and the soundtrack to
Spyhunter,
its melody is addictive and will stick in your brain.
Finally we have Eurofunk's "Manshortage," a true Unclassic. Creator
Lewis
Martinee (he of Expose, Ricky Martin remixes and countless freestyle
classics from Miami) was rumored to refer to the track "the worst
thing I
have ever made." Exactly, Lewis - that's why we love it! A fun,
campy romp
through 808 beats and Italo basslines, the song is made even more
spinworthy
with a re-edit from ELI-173. Enjoy!
Note: we are anti-bootleg! All UNCLASSICS tracks are licensed from
their
respective owners. The records are professionally mastered and
lovingly
packaged. UNCLASSICS artwork is designed by the London-based art
director
Julian Morey, whose past and present clients include Factory Records,
The
Hacienda, The Face, London Recordings and Diesel Jeans.

METRO AREA
METRO AREA 6
Another year has passed since Metro Area busted out METRO AREA 5. Man,
are
these guys taking their time or what? Anyway. In the last 12
months, the
duo has been hard at work in the studio, redefining and refining their
sound. The mixdown has occurred, the 2-track slammed, and Environ
will soon
present the latest outing: METRO AREA 6!
TO BE RELEASED APRIL 25, 2005.
TAKE ME TO THE NEXT PHASE BABY
REISSUE ALERT!
ENVCD004
DANIEL WANG
IDEALISM 2005
Environ is releasing a limited reissue of Daniel Wang's 2000 debut
solo
album "Idealism."
The tracklist from the original is modified for this reissue. New
versions
of "All Flowers Must Fade" and "Misty" have been recorded and replace
the
original versions. In addition, "Black Boots & Sine Waves" and
"Glimmer In
His Eyes" have been added as bonus tracks, twin cult classics from the
"Nocturnes" 12" and previously available only on vinyl.
While the original cover art will be used, new disc art and new
traycard art
will be included. We will utilize a clear CD tray so the new traycard
art is
visible from the front of the CD. A sticker will visually reiterate
that
this is a special reissue.
TO BE RELEASED JUNE, 2005.
ALL THIS AND MORE IN THE ONLINE STORE...VERY SOON!
Like, seriously. In the next week, Unclassics #4 and Unclassics
posters
