Chaos beyond the clouds…


quartz - beyond the clouds (mp3)


quartz - chaos (mp3)

a double dose from quartz today. both tracks come from their 1978 self titled lp, and both are of the same ilk as messrs moroder and carpenter. the album itself comes with some great, yet slightly amusing, futuristic artwork (it comes in the form of a bizarre superman/kryptonite styled backdrop, with a few random ‘photoshopped’ space kids…?)

the first track, ‘beyond the clouds’, is a piano driven affair, which reels you in via its warm, fuzzy bass line, and moody piano tinkering. apparently, ‘beyond the clouds’ was a big anthem for the late 70’s disco scene, especially with the gay clubs of new york and san francisco…

the second track, ‘chaos’, starts things off a bit mellower, but ends up in the same vain as above. the same fuzzy bassline, but this time ,its a case of less piano, and more synths/pads/layers and effects…

Cool! I’ve heard good things about Quartz for a while but hadn’t go tmy hands on any. Funny, I made a publication a while back called “Hoodwinked in the Hothouse: The G8, Climate Chnage and Free-Market Environmentalism” and we used the exact same cloud image on the back cover
