Clap Rules - Old Sequencer - 30-Jul-09 03:23 AM
"Never Half Step" has a a killer fuzz bass topped by dirty yet subtle synth nuances. Its constructed almost like a old school techno track, but with 100% warm analog disco sounds and snappy beats. Surely the deepest and perhaps the best track in the bunch.
"Braxx" is a more throbbing disco number, with all the appealing features: squeaky vocoder hooks, live bass work and resonating filter work.
"Old Sequencer" starts as one of those walking bass nu-disco tracks a-la Emperor Machine, except that it suddenly goes wrong but in a lovely way: 8-bit downsampling distortions, overdriven guitar licks, self-oscillating filter hisses, finally the original bass line is replaced by an almost German-sounding saturated synth ostinato.
Overall a great record, dirty yet refined, the lack of defining melodic elements, typical of most neo-disco productions, is entirely compensated by the ever-changing synth intricacies and by the effective yet unpredictable structure of each and every track.
A personal favorite and surely of the best disco-inspired records coming out from Italy (my own country by the way) since the last decade or two.
Popularia - Barra - 03-Jun-09 06:20 AM
What actually a great and completely overlooked record.
a crazy italo shuffle/boogie track (12/8), with prog/jazz nuances as well as more mediterrean ones.
I have no information about the producers and musicians behind this but it reminds me of Sea Breeze by Azoto (Celso Valli) but this is more powerful: it has sparkling italo drums and and lots of synth!
The picture on the sleeve is bonkers: like a group picture from a wedding (the locatiob looks like a cheap italian trattoria with plastic plants and flowers) but all the faces but the band members have been erased
