    Well, fuck me. When this came out I thought it was still enjoyable but not as good as his other 12'' outings and ed on buying it. Listened to it from start to finish on my bike ride to work today and it's nothing short of an artist going from strength to strength. Blissful modern Italo-Disco business with enough Jazz-Funk/Fusion wonk and Mediterrean magic to make it interesting for the heads! Needless to say, I'm getting a copy after work.

      It's an enjoyable album, wow!
      Stunning release, wish this was recorded and mixed entirely in analogue or at least AAD

        Absolutely fantastic. My Album of the year. Even though it was released last year. Who cares if I was late to the party. Please make more of this!

          I agree that this is high calibre output. It's as if somehow the band has synthesised my musical desires and fused it into one record. When I'm looking for Italo cosmic funk ideally from Naples this is what I want. This is what I want to hear in a bar on a Friday night when dtunk, this is what I want Naples to sound like when I visit one day, this is the sound I want to represent me as an occassional DJ. Please keep making this type of music. This is fresh and new to me and I love it.

            What a fantastic release. The tracks are infectiously funky and the artwork is stunning. A brilliant, very complete package of the highest calibre, an absolute joy to see and hear.
