Hearing this album again, was such a blast from the past. For those of you not familiar with this album or time period, there was a dispute back then, on exactly who recorded the first "digital album". Moroder's E=MC2 was marketed by Casablanca Records (now known as Polygram) as the First Electronic Live to Digital Recording. Ry Cooder also claims to have released the first digital recording. Ditto for Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" release. The music here is dated, but for those of us who bought it when it was current, it's great to revisit these old tracks. It contains the original album, plus two additional cuts (which aren't all that great). I always thought that Moroder had female singers on this LP, and was surprised to learn that all the falsetto vocals on this album, were done by him (Either naturally, or electronically aided). Again, a guilty pleasure to hear this material again, on an album that has been near impossible to find on CD previously. It was originally released on Moroder's "Oasis" label, and distributed by Casablanca in the US. It has finally been re-released by a German label "Repertoire". Definitely recommended for Giorgio fans. He truly is the Godfather of electronic music. Every time you listen to electronic dance, techno, trance and ambient music - remember Giorgio started it all in the mid 70's, along with other bands such as Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a classic comes to cd !!, September 4, 2001

This is just as good today as it was when i first heard it.
The only bad thing is the length of the release. With the 2 bonus tracks and "Evolution" clocking in at over 15 minutes the disc is only 50 minutes total. Do not let this keep you from buying it. You won't be disappointed.......Now if someone at the record label would listen there are still more Moroder classics to be re-released, such as Knights in White Satin and the Munich Machine albums.
WE ARE WAITING.......anyone listening ??

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dawn of the Digital Age, July 17, 2003

Hello....so you are all used to the Digital Age...imagine way back in 1979...the height of Disco....an LP is released by the greatest Disco maestro..Giorgio Moroder. Little did we know that this was a true groundbreaker in technology. This is the first truly digital recording made for dancing. True, the vocals are rather annoying, but the joy of pure electronics and dancing make this a minor point. Being a former DJ back in the good old days, I remember getting a test pressing of this LP and playing the hell out of it...it looks like I was right in proclaiming this recording as a first but not the last in the process of making dance music and technology one!! Take a tip from me..if you like trance, electronica, techno...do yourself a favor and GET THIS!!!
