Synopsis

Album Description
Undoubtedly the leading figure of the Disco Dance movement, Boris Midney ? composer, arranger, producer, sound designer, engineer and accomplished multi-instrumentalist ? literally built his life from scratch after defecting from the Soviet Union in his teens. Forever known as the man who took disco to a higher level, to this day ? he has never recorded under his own name in a studio which he did not build himself. In New York City he built America?s first 48 track recording studio and called it "Eras" in honor of the new era of dance music just beginning to bubble. Musicians and engineers nick-named it "The Enterprise" because of its futuristic high tech feel. Midney?s first two solo albums recorded under the aliases of USA ? European Connection and Beautiful Bend ascended to #1 on the dance charts and left reviewers gasping for descriptions like "avant garde"?"original"?."art". His next two albums recorded under the aliases "Caress" and "Masquerade", were as individualized as the ideas of the man who wrote, arranged, recorded, produced and played all the instruments on them, creating a marriage of music and technology that yielded breathtaking results. "Come Into My Heart" from the USA European Connection rose to #1 on Billboard?s Club Play singles chart. In 1979 Robert Stigwood convinced Boris to disco-fy the music from the new play "Evita" and Boris created a hit disco album of the same name which rose to #1 on Billboard?s Dance chart. His albums are still highly revered by today?s producers for their advances in technology and great dance music production. We proudly present this digital collection of his amazing catalog including rare tracks and previously undiscovered masterpieces.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Well, we all know what a great collection this is from the father of Euro Disco, the big difference here over the 1999 release is the remastering, plain and simple - improved sound and artwork make this edition the one to have."
