ReStructure Mix Update (11/9/17) "High Flying, Adored” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Festival




Festival is a disco project from disco innovator, Boris Midney – who also gave us U.S.A. European Connection, Caress, Beautiful Bend, Masquerade and Companion. His early projects blended a European sound, a soulful Philly female ensemble and Midney’s space age approach to keyboard sound effects and classical disco strings swirling in and out of arrangements. This is a beautiful flow of underground disco which became Midney’s own sound. Robert Stigwood (RSO Records) hired Midney to create a disco-fied version of the monumental Andrew Lloyd Webber show “Evita”. The finished results are now a disco classic which evokes not only the Broadway production in a new phase but also keeps Midney’s magic alive.\

I have taken the album version of “High Flying, Adored” and recreated a lengthier and re-edited version for this ReStructure Mix. It brings the Latin rhythms further into the dance foundation of the song and uses pieces of the Broadway version as homage.
