metro area - honey circuit

this was a record i bought way back when it was initially released and i think i bought it with the intent of getting another record. but i had heard of metro area/morgan geist before and knew of his work and liked a number of his tracks.

i seem to remember that ep (metro area 6) that "honey circuit" was released on was not really well received and there was talk amongst heads saying geist was repeating himself. i don't really agree about that and i think this record wasn't given enough attention.

i hadn't cared about this track in a while until i was sorting some record and i was holding it in my hand and it all came back to me. it starts on a simple sequence that sort of reminds me of the ending king britt's remix of the h-foundation's "tonight". but it then shifts focus and goes into an arpeggio with a funky bassline backing it up.

the track goes into a few mood changes throughout the track and keeps it really interesting all the way. it can be 80's for a moment but then a flute comes in for a while and it goes very deep disco but then it goes back to the boogie. all of the musical changes is well accompanied by a groove that responds equally well.

geist & jeshrani put so much detail into their tracks and produce them so well that it will sound fresh, exciting and the sound of now. even when sound is actually a reanactment of something that happened 30 years ago and the track itself was probably released 6 years ago. it work all the time and their tracks are that good
