E = MC² () Written-By – Giorgio Moroder, Harold Faltermeyer, Pete Bellotte ℗ 1979 Ariola-Eurodisc GmbH., München (Germany) 🥇 “First Electronic Live-To-Digital Album“ 🥇 Produced by Giorgio Moroder & Harold Faltermeyer Recorded By [Recorded Live Digitally] – Soundstream, Inc. (USA) Giorgio – E=MC² Label: Oasis – 200 842, Oasis – 200 842-320 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Partially Mixed, Stereo Country: Germany Released: 1979 Genre: Electronic Style: Disco E=MC² is a 1979 studio album by Italian producer Giorgio Moroder. It has been billed as the “first electronic live-to-digital album.“ The album's title track peaked at number 4 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart. Alex Henderson of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: “This is the electronic dance music that preceded the rise of techno, house, and industrial noise, and it came at a time when hip-hop was in its infancy and the rave subculture had yet to be invented.“ He described it as “a historically interesting LP that anyone who has enjoyed electronic dance rhythms needs to check out.“ Kyle Fowle of The A.V. Club wrote, “The title track includes some of Moroder's finest vocoder work while songs like 'I Wanna Rock You' and 'Baby Blue' see Moroder delivering some of his most polished disco efforts, removed from the rawness of those Donna Summer tracks but still very indebted to them.“ ARTIST BIO: Giovanni Giorgio Moroder born 26 April 1940) is an Italian composer and music producer. Dubbed the “Father of Disco“, Moroder is credited with pioneering euro disco and electronic dance music. His work with synthesizers had a large influence on several music genres such as Hi-NRG, Italo disco, synth-pop, new wave, house and techno music. When in Munich in the 1970s, Moroder started his own record label called Oasis Records, which several years later became a subdivision of Casablanca Records. He is the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, a recording studio used by many artists including the Rolling Stones, Electric Light Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Queen and Elton John. He produced singles for Donna Summer during the mid-to-late 1970s disco era, including “Love to Love You Baby“, “I Feel Love“, “Last Dance“, “MacArthur Park“, “Hot Stuff“, “Bad Girls“, “Dim All the Lights“, “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)“, and “On the Radio“. During this period, he also released many albums, including the synthesizer-driven From Here To Eternity (1977) and E=MC2 (1979). Moroder produced the recording artist Suzi Lane and her disco album and charting number one single “Ooh La La“. She had a second minor classic single “Harmony“ on Elektra Records in 1979. He began to compose film soundtracks and scores, including Midnight Express, American Gigolo, Superman III, Scarface, The NeverEnding Story, and the 1984 restoration of Metropolis. Moroder's work on the film Midnight Express (1978), which contained the international hit “Chase“, won him the Academy Award for Best Original Score and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. He also produced a number of electronic disco songs for the Three Degrees, two albums for Sparks, and a handful of songs on Bonnie Tyler's album Bitterblue as well as her 1985 single “Here She Comes“. In 1990, he composed “Un'estate italiana“, the official theme song of the 1990 FIFA World Cup. Moroder has created songs for many performers including David Bowie, Falco, Kylie Minogue, Irene Cara, Janet Jackson, Madleen Kane, Melissa Manchester, Blondie, Japan and France Joli. Moroder has stated that the work of which he is most proud is Berlin's “Take My Breath Away“, which earned him the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song after appearing in the film Top Gun in 1986; he had earned the same awards in 1983 for “Flashdance... What a Feeling“ (as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score for all of his work on Flashdance). In addition to the three Academy Awards and four Golden Globes, Moroder has also received four Grammy Awards, two People's Choice Awards, and more than 100 Golden and Platinum discs. In 2004, he was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame. RETRO DISCO Hi-NRG 🚀 📺 ✅ Music in this video licenced to YouTube (see below) Ad revenue paid to copyright owners.
