Title: Close Your Eyes
Format: 12"
Label: Mannequin
Rated: * * * * *
Coming from Torino, Italy, singer of Politburo and nowadays of Lacriminal, Tommy De Chirico recorded only one single 7" in 1984 for a local label called Shirak. Recorded at TKS Studio (studio run by Monuments' Mauro Tavella), "Close Your Eyes" was a nice single of electronic wave which was gathering a dance attitude, upfront catchy funk bass lines, a certain mysterious atmosphere and character. It could be seen a bit like our personal "Let's Go To Bed"... On side B there was a slow synth ballad with guitar arpeggios and always upfront bass lines. Its title was "Flower Into The Factory". For years this single was kinda knew by us people living in Torino, until Alessandro Adriani discovered it and put it on the first volume of "Danza Meccanica" (the CD version had both the tracks) back in 2010. Now, three years later, always him, finally decided to give a proper release to that single by releasing an extended EP containing those tracks plus three bonuses. The first one is a demo version of side A (which is pretty much close to the final version). The second one is "Vuh-Ya", a mid tempo song that mix dreamy atmospheres with a certain dark romantic touch. The third one is "Tuxedo Dance", a funky synth instrumental which is a nice one but sounds more like a demo. Anyway, it's nice that that single got a proper release and you can check and purchase it here http://mannequinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mnq-041-tommy-de-chirico-close-your-eyes-12-ep
