"In Love With Love" is a SICK vocoder track, and has been a secret weapon in my sets ever since I accidentally stumbled across it, unlisted, on the LP. Like all the other tracks on this album, its vocals are a little corny, but in an endearing way, and the drum / synth programming is so hot that nobody really cares about the vocals anyway.

It's For You is sampled by Felix da Housecat on Thee Madkatt Courtship LP I know Electrikboy. The track Cosmic Pop is the one and it's an uncredited sample. The Moroder/Bellotte produced/written In Love With Love is the hi-light of this LP for me. Vocodered vocals, that trademark moog bass sound and some lovely spacey synth solos mark this as a forgotten italo gem. The version of Strauss's La Nuit Blanche is also worth checking. Most people will recognise the original from the 2001 soundtrack and this version sounds like a companion piece to The Chase.
