Metro Area – Metro Area 3

Metro Area pretty much set a gold standard for modern disco with their eponymous debut album. Now, two decades on, they remain untouchable when it comes to this sort of sound. To mark their 20th-anniversary Environ has lined with the renowned mastering engineer Matt Colton to have the duo’s first four 12″s recut. Each one features the original, extended 12″ versions of all songs, some of which have never been re-released. Metro Area 3 features the elastic bass and suspensory grooves of ‘Caught Up’, pumping arps and cosmic pads of ‘Tonky Pumpz’ and the shimmering jazz-funk-disco dazzle of ‘Evidence’.
