An amazingly rare record. Last one sold was on ebay back in February (2013) and sold for over $200. But wow, its worth it! This song is something I really wish I could own. Such a brilliant atmosphere. It's like Jean Michel Jarre was involved at some point. This is one of my favorite Italo songs. Probably my most favorite song full stop.

For all the hype it's recieved, I'm surprised no one has commented on this track already. In my humble opinion, the track is an excellent example of early italo disco. One of the first Rago-Farina prodcutions, the song is a deep electro based track (note the 808 drum at the beginning) with a distinct female vocal singing throughout. Althought half of the vocals/lyrics are impossible to understand, this remains one of the deepest italo disco songs due to its dark and mysterious nature. Franco Rago and Gianluigie Farina would go onto produce much better songs, but no other would create such a captivating atmosphere.
