REISSUE: "A Dance Fantasy" - Inspired by "Close Encounters of The Third Kind" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Montana

REISSUE: "A Dance Fantasy" - Inspired by "Close Encounters of The Third Kind" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Montana Disco covers of major films were quite a standard during the 70's - beginning with Meco's cover of "Star Wars". Vincent Montana, Jr. (billed as Montana) worked heavily during the disco era creating a fantastic sound of full orchestrations with a disco beat. Creating what would be known as the Euro-disco influence on American disco artists. "A Dance Fantasy" is a project which takes movements from John Williams score from "Close Encounters" and weaves a funky and beautiful medley. I have focused more on the Sister Sledge vocals in the closing of the original project with, "When You Wish Upon A Star" and also the wonderful sitars of the "Mexican Desert" theme. Adding just a touch of percussion to spice up the fluent track. This was requested by Vic from SHADES OF SEVENTIES site - thank you, Vic.
