Bottin & Rodion At Juno Download

Review: All-star nu-Italo collaboration alert! Two masters of the contemporary Italian disco scene collide on one stylish release for Nang, and the results are pretty much as you'd expect. Being Nang, there's a whiff of synth-pop about the original mix, but the vocoder-riffic vocals largely play second fiddle to analogue groovery, fuzzy cosmic rock riffage and bubbling synth meldodies. Somehow, "Shooting Star" manages to simultaneously sound old and new - like on of those odd records Daniele Baldelli used to champion, given a 21st century kick up the backside. There's an ace dub for those who dislike the vocals, while Toomy tries to channel the ghost of Barry Mason on his "Body"-aping remix.
