Zia Shem (Single) ______________________ Track Listing 1. Golden 2. Drummer 3. Resolution (Dance Mix) _______________________________ From Boston, Zia is: Gary Vitigliano on drum loops Dan Weingartner on synth and samples Elaine Mullen on vocals, writing, programming Live Show Addition: Gia on triggers synths, MIDI and synth drums __________________________________________
Drums, synth, flowing and upbeat electro-engineering accents the first track of this tasty tidbit from Zia in Golden. Gary Vitigliano on drums with Dan Weingartner on synth create a most enjoyable smooth moving, semi poppish track. Drummer is an awesome track with very intelligent rather elect-romantic affair with drums, Elaine singing with her unpretentious voice all set to an excellent dance beat, near tribal in effect. Great sequencing. The final installment of this demo release is Resolution (dance mix), (I wonder what Cevin Key would do with this one?) -- trancey, loaded with energy, again good programming synths and sequencing of drums all melded into perfect sync with Elaine's vocals! If you live in or near Boston and Zia is playing live, DON"T MISS THEM! I can assure you that you'll have a great time dancing the night away to the incredibly talented sounds created by this trio. Upbeat, high energy and restless, they are on the lookout for a label too!
