Concerning the remix mentioned above, you need to know first that Morgain Geist, one of the masters of American modern disco, is mostly half of the duo Metro Area (with Darshan Jesrani), and author of the classic "Miura", an house anthem of the 2000s. He offers us a remix of lightness and sensuality of "Why Does the Wind?”. It is a house music track, which really works, partly because of the mix found between the vocal and melody. This remix has a Tiefschwarz’s spirit because of some samples. It is a very good job from the American producer, with a track where the musical tension rises gradually, with some relevant guitar notes to perfect everything.

Tracey Thorn is back for good and this remix by Morgan Geist will hopefully give her a boost for her upcoming productions. Tracey Horn, who released her first album in the early '80s, is still 30 years later at the top of her form and that's good for our ears. Thank you Tracey!
