An amazing collection of advanced, early '80s Italian electro-wave from Minimal Wave. Formed in Mestre 1978, the duo of Piergiuseppe Ciranna and Alessandro Pizzin created a beautifully expressive body of work defined by crisp, punchy production and a feel for proper minimalist funk. 'Pure Desire' could almost pass for some Herbie Hancock experiment, while 'Fire' sidesteps Italo's cheesier cliches with dynamic electro spurts and 'Nite Song' comes offlike Bowie playing with ACR. Their anti-mainstream stance allows them to really go out on a limb with the avant-garde tones and texture of 'Electronic Journey', but they're at their best producing deadly electro-jazz pop songs like 'Sexual Desire' and 'Good Name', or elegant dancefloor heaters like 'Your Lover' or the Frankie-esque 'It's Not Too Grand'. We're really, really feeling this one. TIPPED for fans of Alexander Robotnick or Chrisma!
