‘1905' was written about the failed 1905 Russian Revolution, and it finds the Marxists Love Disco Ensemble at their poppiest. Sounding like a cassette freshly discovered in a time capsule, ‘1905' has an early 80's cross-over pop-new wave sound. The song is influenced greatly by Boban Petrović and other ex-Yugoslav disco songs. It features the pianist on vocals and they are reminiscent of Orange Juice and Chas Jankel. They play a glorious accompaniment to the dreamy, female backing vocals underpinning the song. At its backbone, the production edges towards Italo disco, with a driving synth bass, bubbling keys, crispy punchy beats, with many instruments put through the Roland Space Echo. This one is designed for the club as much as the radio.

Come Back To Life

Following the anthem “Heavy in Stereo”, longtime MIMS-favorite and synths wizard extraordinaire Igor Jadranin returns on Chicago’s Star Creature with “Contemporary Outdoors”.

And as you can tell from the title above, we were lucky enough to secure the title track for (y)our listening pleasure. Kicking off with a jazz vocal sample and slowly introducing a variety of synths, drum machines, chord progressions, and riffs, "Contemporary Outdoors” showcases the full breadth of his creative arsenal.
