ReStructure Mix Update (3/9/17) “Close Your Eyes” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Queen Samantha
ReStructure Mix Update (3/9/17) “Close Your Eyes” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Queen Samantha
Queen Samantha is Gloria Brooks on vocals and disco arrangements from Harry Chalkitis. The group is best known for a blend of Euro-disco with a mystique feel. “Take A Chance” is their big hit from 1979 which became one of the favorable moods from dance floors of the time as it weaved layer on layer of disco syrup heavily. “Close Your Eyes” is from the 1979 album titled “Queen Samantha” and plays out like a high energy love letter. The release was a delayed on US release with a remix on Megatone Records in 1982 – remixed by Bernie Bernthaier. It brings to mind that lingering of the classic disco sound becoming a new style titled ‘high energy’.
I have taken parts of the original 12” release and the Megatone 12” remix to create a new ReStructure Mix for this beauty. More of the dub-like breaks are created to give this one the feel of this group and its sound. It was a great track for me during the disco transition in the early 80s and with a place mark in the San Francisco high energy movement it rings out even more.
