Nacho Patrol - The Maze Of Violence (Il Labirinto Di Roma Violenta) - 24-Jan-09 09:29 AM
Another sick release by Mr. Danny Wolfer aka Legowelt, etc. Four very original electro/funk songs full of bouncy rhythms, catchy synth melodies and wah wah guitars, plus one little atmospheric (and frightening) track.
The story behind that release is pretty funny as well:

"This obscure lost soundtrack for an even more obscure (and also lost and never finished) "Italia violenta" cop movie was recently discovered when I bought the dusty reel tapes from a restaurant owner in Fiumicino, a seaside town near Rome. "Panter 777" aka "Il Labirinto di Roma Violenta aka "The Maze of Violence", he told me, was directed by Gervasio Giardano in 1981 and was considered too (politically) explicit by the movie production company who dropped the project after the first screening. The soundtrack, an explosion of wahwah funk riffs and juicy analog synthesizers, was composed by an obscure band called Nacho Patrol. The restaurant owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, was one of the band members and composed most of the tracks."

Essential!

As many other great electro songs, I discovered "Shot Caller" on a CBS top 100. That track is clearly the best one on this EP. Intense song with a fantastic building. You can ear a tumbler sound at the beginning, then gunshots all along the track. The martial drums sound like machineguns. Then come the syncopated voices, and after the middle of the song, haunting male and female voices will complete this masterpiece. Excellent and very different from what can be heared nowadays.
