Blackway - New Life / Follow Me

This was a hugely influential record when it came out, and is experiencing a new lease on life probably largely due to the attention drawn to it due to Casco's re-release of it on The Cyber Album, as well as Blackway featuring prominently in some of Panama Racing's record releases. Very creative use of not-very-exceptional electronics and equipment for the period - fairly obvious that this music was strung together on a tight budget, nevertheless, the end product is astounding in scope and quality. It covers such a range of musical sound, yet remains cohesive. Right from the A side of New Life, it strikes a dark tone closes with an even darker note of a simulated nuclear explosion with Follow Me on the B side. I really couldn't give this a more glowing review. Everything you could want in a record: pedigree, rarity, and it just makes you feel good.

Music from another world. A world wich lacks the common 'rules' of making music. 'Follow me' is such genuine piece of music. The guys of Blackway has their own vision of electronic 'Italo Disco music' It's dark, it's catchy in its own way and there is nothing, really nothin you can compare to this tune. This guys creates their own genre.
