Shiva - Aerobic EP (Jura Soundsystem Versions)

カナダのエアロビクス系テレビ番組用の音楽として制作された『:20 Minute Workout (The Original Music)』に収録されている音源を再び[Isle Of Jura]のJura Soundsystemがリエディット。大人気だった"What Does It Take"や"Never Gonna Give You Up"に続く今回も、程よくダブ・ディスコ風に仕立てたナイスな仕上がりとなっていますのでぜひ。おすすめ盤！(Morihiro)

Following on from the 2023 reissue of Shiva featuring Leon Ware and Jo Ann Harris, Isle of Jura revisits 1983’s 20 Minute Workout LP once more with the Aerobic EP. This time, four more tracks are unearthed from the original album sessions, all produced by Andy Muson, a seasoned session bassist whose credits include work with Yoko Ono, James Taylor, and Ringo Starr. Originally brought in to play bass, Muson stepped into the producer role at the suggestion of composer Ira Newborn (best known for scoring Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Blues Brothers) who helmed the rest of the Shiva recordings. IOJ label boss Jura Soundsystem is back on the controls, having previously reworked Never Gonna Give You Up into a limited one-sided 'Special Version' as part of the original reissue campaign. This new 12” sees him return to the Shiva project once more, delivering four extended versions that tease out the key elements and pull back on the occasional over the top disco indulgence from the originals. The result is an EP of refined early 80s Disco that acts as a fitting addendum to the original 12”s. Pressed on 140g vinyl and housed in a 3mm spine disco sleeve with sticker and artwork designed by Bradley Pinkerton.
