...I Ain't Even Gonna Try
In 1982, this Cut Glass' classic disco cut (sorry, I couldn't resist) was reissued on Hot Tracks, a DJ subscription service based in San Francisco similar to the fruitful Disconet Program Service. The solid but fairly standard sounding disco number was warped into a maniacal assault of cosmic synths by one of Hot Tracks' resident remixers, Zino. I wonder if he is still lurking around San Francisco and also if he has a paradox of his own.
My copy is one of many records I have that used to belong to Michael Lewis, a contributor to Hot Tracks himself, who used to be a very busy man when San Francisco was a different place.
ps...I chopped off the main part of the original and the track here starts at the "remix" section.

Yo, I love your guys' blog. I look at it all the time. I cant imagine your collective music collection. I am an aspiring DJ and I am gonna feel bad because I'm definitely gonna play alot of your songs if I ever get on. I live in Brooklyn but I would love to come to one of your guys' parties. Thanks for doing this for everyone.

Love the original, but that Hot Tracks Megamix is simply epic!
