2 - THE BARB, October 1,1977 The Magic Garden 1888 CHESHIRE BRIDGE RD.. ATLANTA, GA. (874-7753) Atlanta’s Most Talked About Disco \ We are very happy to advise you that you have heen selected as one of the 20 top Gay Discos in the U.S. - Blueboy Magazine just marvelous just beautiful just great - Phyllis Killer THE BARB “They may do things slower in the South, but when they do, the result is often bigger and better. The whole city of Atlanta is atwit over The Magic Garden, the spanking new entertainment center in the northern part of town which offers not only a disco dance floor half the size of a football field, but a 200 seat cabaret...as well. The cabaret is going to bring a lot of big name talent who’ve never before played the city, like Roslyn Kind, Sally Kellerman and Holly Woodlawn. The clientele is mostly gay, but it hardly matters since __ , ~ - Women s Wear Daily DON'T MISS OUR HALLOWEEN SHOW IN THE CABARET by Robbie Tee If it sounds like you’re tripping lately while on Atlanta Disco dance floors, No... y°u haven’t been slipped a “mickie” and you’re not having “flash backs.” Disco Artists have learned to trip for you, without the use of drugs. That’s right, the latest in disco is the spacey futuristic sound. The time has come when total electronic sounds can reproduce melodic lines and harmonic chords, creating some of the most spacey but musical and danceable songs. The first disco song; that futuristic sound has been noticed, was Slow down by John Miles. The vocal track in the middle of the song is reproduced synthetically through the guitar. Now this technique had already been exper ienced in the Rock World in the song.Do You Feel Like / Feel? in Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton. Also the German group Kraftwerk (who pioneered the sound in Rock Music), has produced a couple of albums using electronic instruments. And recently the Mysterious group Klaatu produced electronic sound on their music tracks, adding a more cosmic flare to the albums.. The disco world picked up on this sound again in Donna Summer’s I Feel Love. All but Donna’s voice were electronically pro duced sounds. This does not include any of the conven tional electric guitars commonly used in Rock Music. Even the percussion tracks were electronically reproduced. The technique usually used is the Moog Synthsizer and other electronic oscilating instruments. Donna Summer’s producer and writer, Giorgio Morder, produced his own album (since Knights in White Satin) called From Here To Eternity, using total electronic instruments, including some of the vocal tracks. Pete Belotte (Morder’s co-writer) has since produced his own spacey futuristic album called: Trax: Watch Out with the latest hit Watch Out For the Boogie Man Pete Belotte is also the voice (produced through the synthesizer) heard in the song From Here to Eternity. Also, the Mike Theodore Orchestra produced a song called: Space (which is usually mixed with Donna Sum mer’s I Feel Love). Of course, we must not forget the group Meco responsible for the disco version of the Star Wars theme, which is electronics personified. So all of these artists are responsible for the trippy sounds you now hear in disco. I feel it is the beginning of a new trend in all music. (904) 522-4973 24 Aou+b MEMPHIS, TN Disco Atlanta 1. Hey!
