Review by ajmedway Mar 18, 2009
What a guy! Just look at his picture whilst you listen to the track he produced under Azoto called "Anytime or Place". So, so special. Italo Disco had it's king in this man, and that's gotta be a good thing.

I think that aforementioned track, taken from the "Disco Fizz EP" (1979) is one of the most unheard of, hard-to-find and expensive gems you might ever stumble into in your local charity shop. If you ever find a copy of it, take good care of it.

Italo Disco from late 70's - early 80's is an epic win!
