New York-based synth-pop revivalist Morgan Z is releasing Elemental Themes, his first album as Chrome Canyon, on October 9 on Stones Throw.
Today he's released "mix tape i" – made for The Quietus, who writes: he's taken some time off from the x-ray specs factory and made us this mix, which bristles with enough vintage analogue synths to make Giorgio Moroder weep. Moroder's on there in fact, along with Tangerine Dream, Yellow Magic Orchestra and Ashra, and a potent closing one-two of Al Green and Donna Summer.
