I have been very pleased to see recent threads finally giving Ian Levine some credit for his incredible Motorcity project for which 770 songs were recorded between 1987 and 1992 [[plus a further 80 between Pat Lewis and Brenda Holloway around 1996/97). It is no secret that the project has been heavily criticized for its use of Fairlight synthesizers, a sound that has not aged particularly well, and Ian Levine will be the first to admit that himself, and he already started reworking the tracks in the late 90s to give them a more authentic sound.
Come 2023 and here is the first digital album of 25 new mixes, released today, Friday March 3, 2023. A second volume has already been completed, and isn't it just a joy to hear those voices!
What's the verdict?
