warm...moving...bodies Out of six million sperm cells I came in first and won a warm moving body a warm moving body, a warm moving body I came in first and won a warm moving body... We are the ones, the ones that got the bodies We are the ones, the ones that got the bodies The warm...moving...bodies... I get to see hear touch taste smell my partner Attracted by the odor I respond to the stimulus A gene machine surrounded by a cell wall Protective shell of similar units We are the ones The ones that got the bodies We are the ones The ones that got the bodies The warm...moving...bodies... Skyscraper cells, full of water A portion of matter, structure and substance Scientifically different than the monkey... Turn back the hand of time with a youthful chin line Turn back the hand of time with a youthful chin line On our warm...moving...bodies... Look sharp feel sharp be sharp see sharp Head to foot and cellar to attic Lovely hair deserves fine care There's a five o'clock shadow Beneath skin level We are the ones The ones that got the bodies We are the ones The ones that got the bodies The warm...moving...bodies... An anonymous sperm bank donation Stepping in a roll of propagation Versatile hands and a well-developed larynx A nose that blows Tongue that licks Now lets Turn off the sentences And turn on the senses On our warm...moving...bodies warm...moving...bodies warm...moving...bodies warm...moving...bodies warm...moving...bodies

Roger liked to watch her with a telescope And follow her around with a tape recorder He put the information in the firm's computer Comparative analysis, he thought he knew her I need to know her, I need to know her, I need to know her I need to know her, I need to know her, I need to know her He pulled out his digital calculator And figured out a formula on how he could make her Bill Wyman's T.V. course for data technicians Planned his future around a woman and children I need to know her, I need to know her, I need to know her I need to know her, I need to know her, I need to know her Roger finally met her on an elevator And put his plan to work for a movie and dinner But afterwards he realized there's no gratification Without digital stimulation I need to know her, I need to know her, I need to know her I need to know her, I need to know her, I need to know her

about

"DISCO RIOTS 1979 - Dance Music and Synthesizers" by Scott Ryser is a 64 page pdf booklet (included with the download of this 18 song album) about the UNITS "Connections" project, a definitive collection of over 24 of the band’s original songs written between 1977 and 1984 and remixed for the dance floor in 2010 by a renowned and international cast of over 45 DJs, producers and bands active in the contemporary club scene. Ryser writes about the experimental DIY culture of synthpunk bands, the innovative DJs that remixed them for the dance floor, and the birth of Club Culture.
What you see here is a sample of the original UNITS songs alongside some remixes of them by different DJs.
The original 3 CD box set of this project was released by Opilec Music out of Italy. It has sold out. But you can still hear all the many remixes that are NOT included on this page by going to The Units - Connections on Apple Music or by picking up a used copy (if you're lucky) on Discogs or Ebay.
