about

'Cooperation', the second EP in a four-part series (‘Industry’ GAP040, being the first), emphasizes the key theme of the 2023 World Economic Forum: 'Cooperation in a fragmented world'.

The purpose there is to encourage world leaders to join forces in tackling the complex challenges of energy, climate, and nature, in addition to investment, trade, infrastructure, emerging technologies, industrial resilience, job creation, skills development, social mobility, health, and geopolitical collaboration in a multipolar environment.

‘Cooperation in a Fragmented World’ as featured on the album 'Forum,' illustrates a remarkable shift from its original form, having undergone significant alterations even after the initial mastering process. Yet, the distinctive sequenced layers persist, continuing to characterize Metroland’s techno pop and providing an enjoyable experience for their loyal fan base.

In a departure from conventional practices, Metroland opted not to assign specific remix names to each track. Instead, every version was designated with a distinctive and original title. Rather than the anticipated labels such as 'radio version' or 'edit,' the title was creatively transformed to 'Cooperation in a shortened world.'

Accompanied by an extraordinary 9-minute extended version that reflects the purest traditions of the 1980s, "Cooperation in a Lengthened World" exposes the numerous intricate layers and elements found in the original version.

A gimmic that Metroland wanted to enhance is to be heard in ‘Cooperation in a surrounding world’. This exceptional version is made up of a series of sounds that were featured in previous iterations before the original version was recorded into history, a history that is detailed in the album ‘Forum’.

A Secret Place

supported by 16 fans who also own “Cooperation EP”

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤ bazgray

It’s huge it’s big it’s nonstop. Every track is a go to go to go to gone. There is nothing not to like about this generosity is overwhelming. The stimulation is satiating. I never get tired of listening to the great plethora. STEPHEN FRYE

Reproduction
by Parralox

supported by 13 fans who also own “Cooperation EP”

[PARRALOX ALBUM 12] [Released 2017.12.29] [Cover of The Human League's first album "Reproduction" (1979.10.11), 9 tracks, A1-A6 + B1a/B1b-B3] ["Being Boiled": Bonus cover from THL's second album "Travelogue" (1980.05.14), track 9, B4] One of the reasons I fondly love Parralox: his ability to create such perfect covers as this one. His rendition of "Reproduction" is simply p.e.r.f.e.c.t. Highly enjoyable, mesmerizing and brilliant, full of energy and good taste. Immaculate sonic artifact. GREAT! ★ I want my collection sorted!!! ★
