Its the Urban 75 Disco Disco

[pk]

I love Supernature. I'm with you all the way on it being very War of the Worldsish... which came first?

War of the Worlds recorded May 1976 – July 1977.

Supernature recorded around the same time, presumably in France.

The album of the same name was released in the first part of '77.

So who knows?

How about some Disco visuals?

The Saint:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/timothyhartleysmith/sets/72157603013834938/

Created in what was the Filmore East at Second Avenue and 6th Street (the third largest theater in the City), it was hailed as the “Saint Peter’s” of discos. The heart of the $5 million complex was the Dome, a 38-foot high by 76-foot wide perforated aluminum dome. Larger than the Hayden Planetarium’s dome at the time, it hovered over a 4,800 square foot dance floor. Nearly 2,000 light fixtures and a planetarium star-field projector were joined with a superbly realistic quadraphonic sound system of 336 speakers in 96 groups. At 26,000 watts per channel, it was the most powerful entertainment audio system per square foot in existence. Two-thirds of the lights were focused on the inner skin of the dome, often creating the illusion of infinite space, and with the sound permeating that space, we were enveloped in an environment that transcended physical reality. The star projectors, one for each hemisphere, were 10 times brighter than the standard planetarium so you could see the stars even when other lighting effects were in use. It was designed to reproduce sound as recorded. Despite the 146 decibels of sound at the dome’s center (a live symphony orchestra averages 100), there was never any distortion or discomfort. The heart of the system was an Audionics Space and Image Composer that separated the music signal into the dome’s quadrants, with 14 channels of amplification in each. The three turntables were set on a 1,500-pound concrete slab suspended by pneumatic isolators to prevent vibration from the dance floor. In all my years at The Saint, I never heard a record skip. The dance floor had a legal capacity of 1,200, but the entire club could accommodate 5,000 and many a time it seemed as if all 5,000 were on the dance floor. But that only made it better.

I tried converting it to mp3 with Super but I've had no luck. There's an mp3 copy here http://www.zshare.net/audio/16290972004bdffe but i can't get it to download, just sends me round in circles.

Sorry
