Rated 5/5
Review by restless Nov 17, 2010
A tip-top record : "Walkman" is the mother of all italo piano-disco feelgood tunes, and "Key West" is a strange irresistible robotic track, much ruffer and more metallic than their usual sound.
Quite close to the early electro sound (that massive beatbox!), this one could be considered as Kasso's main contribution to the breakdance scene that was huge at the time : close your eyes and you are straight there on a NYC (or Key West for that matter) street corner, supporting your homie who is in the middle of a dancing duel, with fly-girls shouting all around.
Also the melodic theme and synths sounds would be ripped off a few years later on "Miami Vice"'s main theme.
To this day, still a fresh and visionary record.
