A robot survived under the ice

Such a gret story told in an Italo Disco song

Aldo Martinelli was a true mastermind and made some timeless italo classics - no doubt about that. This one stands out with the wunderful vocals of Simona Zanini. Lyric is also amazing and complete this masterpiece.

Turns into a sick high nrg tune when played at 45rpm. :)

The dut dut in the chorus is clearly a cheeky hommage to Freur's "Doot Doot" released the year before:-) http://www.discogs.com/Freur-Doot-Doot/release/57885

Dark side of Italo-Disco... This is a great slo-mo disco gem (100 BPM), with warm and deep bassline, smooth synth arpeggio and dreamy keyboards. Vocal part is ok, but the instrumental version on the b-side, to me, is the best. It also has a somewhat deeper cut and no intro, so it's easier to mix in. Just love the instro, it won't miss in my 100-and-around mixes, one of my favorites. This one has a fairly light cut (but with nice spiral effect, btw), I think ZYX cut may have a bir more bang, I'll definitely get a copy of that!
