Milky Disco III: To the Stars, Vol. 1

To the Stars, eh? Come to think of it, that sounds about right. After all, at least half of this synth-chased compilation sounds like it was written with a Jetsons-like joyride in mind. Or at the very least, David Hasselhoff’s tape deck, circa 1982. Which isn’t to say that Milky Disco’s latest installment is campier than the last two. It’s just got its collective head in the clouds a bit more, from trance-inducing tracks like “Iron Deck,” “Deep Heat” and “Metabolic” to such welcome left-turns as the blood-on-the-dancefloor balladry of “Made Up My Mind” and the tension-building tribalism of “I Feel Your Soul.” And then there’s the ace astral projections of "Oneohtrix Point Never," a perfect bookend to the proceedings and yet another reminder that this series knows its indie darlings as well as its dance ones (see also: Studio, Nite Jewel and Glass Candy from earlier comps). Now if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got some old episodes of Knight Rider to watch on mute.
