REISSUE: “I Love New York” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Metropolis - The Sweethearts of Sigma
Metropolis is a disco project from Pete Bellotte, Thor Baldursson and Salsoul Records. The album titled “The Greatest Show On Earth” was released in 1978 and featured a big band and full orchestrated disco arrangement. This project also featured the well-known ensemble The Sweethearts of Sigma who were found backing many, many disco artists and studio sessions. The power of their vocals is felt in this recording where each track gives the group a moment to harmonize and take the most out of the disco sound. “I Love New York” was the first successful single and is now regarded as a Salsoul disco classic.
I have taken the 12” version of “I Love New York” and repainted the town in a dub-feel ReStructure Mix. Much of the moog and keyboard riffs are separated and then reapplied. It is the big band sound meets beat street.
