Damnit, most of my favorite cosmic disco artists I've been collecting are now available for you on one easy access compilation. Should I be mad? Sure. But in actuality, after listening to it, I guarantee you'll be mad for not owning the vinyl. It's that good. I remember getting Padded Cell's, "Konkorde Lafayette(1)" way back in late '06 and loving it. It was labeled as "Horror Disco" at the time and totally perked my ears to the sound. In Flagranti's "Nonplusultra - Black Devil Remix(2)" killed me during the re-revealing of Black Devil Disco this year and blew me away with his synth Italo mastery. Sorcerer's "Surfing At Midnight(3)" off Tirk Records was one of the first Balearic tracks we opened the Guggenheim with earlier this year and is still one of my favorites. For more heaters, listen to the ethereal sounds of Daniel Wang's "All Flowers Must Fade(4)," "Studio's slow burning syncopated jam, "Life's A Beach(5)," Black Mustang's awesome "Mad As Hell - Dub(6)" and Johan's Agebjorn's "Spacer Woman From Mars ft. Sally Shapiro(7)." So there's a couple I haven't heard, so I guess can't be that mad. Snackmaster asked me to mention how the Milky Disco font on the cover reminds him of the Milky Way, but from the dewdrops hidden in the layers, I'm thinking pure disco sex. Recommended (to find the vinyl versions).
