Dompteur Mooner did it again! Three years after the latest chapter of the ELASTE series he found some other gems of cosmic disco influenced by pop and funk. He found some Italian mix-tapes from the early 1980s (especially those recorded by Beppe Loda and Daniele Baldelli) and packed the album with fourteen tracks that finally would make us proud to be Italian because at that time italo disco ruled the dance floors (at least we found something to be proud of even if unfortunately we always have to refer to our past). The album opens with the funky disco of Queen Samantha's "Take A Chance" (Dompteur Mooner Edit) just to give us the first surprise with Eddy Trauba & M M Greco "Maccaroni Radio', an upbeat tune that recalled me the early new wave electronic of Alexander Robotnick stuff mixed with dance. Moebius with "Urth' mix spacey sounds with funky bass lines while the following Riccardo Cioni & D.J.F.T. Band bring "Fog', a track perfect for a John Carpenter movie (and you know for sure that he did a movie titled "The fog"). Tracks like this influenced Steve Moore, Antoni Maiovvi and Gatekeeper (people that I suggest you to check). Pop wave is back with Nacht Und Nebel's "Beats Of Love" and it gets a bit more experimental with Tabu's "Allein", a song perfect for Lene Lovich. Great electronic sounds are in with Conrad Und Gregor Schnitzler "The Shark Eats Ice" (Conrad and his son Gregor recorded also an album together titled "Conrad & Sohn" and Gregor collaborated to different records of his dad). Mythos' "Powerslide", take us to the center of space disco with moog sweeps and 70s guitar solos, while Pollyester with "Beuys Boys" with slapped bass guitar and choruses bring us back to memories of 70s disco but adding to it some boost. The Deep Fix with "Time Centre" are here with a robotic song based on organ layers overlaps and filtered drum sounds. Die Gesunden's "Galaxy" mix synth sweeps and upfront delirious vocal performances (a sort of disco wave version of Johnny Rotten). Phantom Band "Neon Man' (Dompteur Mooner Edit) bring back space disco sounds mixed with new wave guitars where a recitative voice guide you through the mysterious atmosphere of the "Neon man with the moonlight tan". The Pool with "Jamaica Running" mix tribal rhythms and basic monophonic synth lines while Key Of Dreams remix Toto's "Africa" giving to it vocoder robotic vocals keeping its characteristic keyboard chords. It sounds like a stripped to the bone version of it with proper singing vocals on its later part. This is it... and if you didn't already checked this serie, I suggest you to do so immediately!
