"I'm a 70s/80s child...Growing up in the days of roller skates, break dancin', parachute pants and jerry curls. Metro Area's CD brought back a lot of fund memories of yesteryear with a whole new flava. This baby is "JAMMIN'"--to use an old 80s vernacular. I wasn't impressed at first sample, but after reading the reviews online, I decided to give it a try. The boys of Metro Area mixed the old with the new in a very stylistic way! And although they haven't reinvented the wheel so to speak, they have flawlessly mastered this style of music by making it sound fresh and reminiscent of days gone by via the use of hand claps/finger snaps, drum machines, disco gurgles and synthesizers. This is clearly a CD meant for the dance floor, but this baby can really be played anytime--Just try not to bop your head, shake that thang, or tap your feet to this one! Every song is a stand out track and a DJ's fantasy! "FUNKY FRESH!""

Back to basics

"This is the stuff we used to be made of. These songs are just your very basic old school house instrumentations. But done to perfection. About 75% of this record will make you smile or just dance. I ride to it in my car and nothing can touch me. I am just cruisin'. You know? Its all good.
I gave this record a four because not every single song on this CD is excellent, but there is nothing on here that isn't listenable.
Check this CD out.
If you like any old school music - you will love this."

What the ... this CD is incredible

"I was turned onto metro area by listening to a nude dimensions CD(Caught up). I must have listened to this song 40x in a row. When I bought their album I swear when I say that I listen to it every single day and if Im not listening to it I am playing it in my mind. This is THE BEST CD I HAVE EVER PURCHASED! Its got great bass and mixes genres like disco, 80s pop, house, and funk. If you dont buy this cd and pass this on to ten other people bad things will happen to you."
