ReStructure Mix Update (7/1/16) “Gluttony” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rinder & Lewis

Rinder and Lewis are the pioneers of the underground disco movement of the mid-70s. Their music ranges from a simple synthesizer and keyboard arrangement to a full disco orchestration with lush strings. Much of their work is hailed as disco gems. “Seven Deadly Sins” is their first solo/duo album from 1977 and is an instrumental trip through the disco-fied themes. Each belonging to an individual ‘sin’ and its audio mood. An interesting concept and arranged quite well for one of their early experimental pieces. “Gluttony” is one of the whirling bass sequencer tracks that play out as a moody and hypnotic number with slashes of sounds and instruments. The bass sequencer is reminiscent of rolling disco sound later becoming one of the most alluring of technical productions.

I have taken the album version of “Gluttony” and created a ReStructure Mix which takes the key parts of the movement and rearranged it for a new lure. New percussion and effects are added to give more punch to the deep edge. One of the mystical disco numbers from W. Michael Lewis and Laurin Rinder and many disco audiophiles know it well from their own temptation of this classic project.
