STREAM: Morgan Geist - Most Of All
Before forming Metro Area and reminding people that disco wasn’t all bloat and glitter, Morgan Geist produced techno music which offered a New Jersey tonic to Carl Craig’s glowing Detroit style. This year he's gravitating closer to his techno roots with a second album entitled Double Night Time. But unlike past efforts, Geist's path takes a more poppy detour, as well as vocals from Junior Boys' crooner, Jeremy Greenspan. One album cut, the sparkling "Most of All," evokes Hall & Oates' songcraft with chilly synth lines, reverberating guitar lines and Greenspan's measured delivery. By contrast, "Skyblue Pink" is more contemplative, cobbling together a raft of synth sounds that burn slowly through melancholy movements. It seems that with each turn Morgan Geist is able to reinvent himself through a different musical lens; but this one has the most potential to turn heads in and outside the club.
