Review: There's plenty to set the pulse racing on Beyond The Struttosphere's belated return to Gouranga Music, not least the deliciously muscular title track, which peppers a throbbing, Italo-disco style groove with Bobby Orlando synth sounds, 'Easy Rider' spoken word samples and the kind of crunchy, excitement-building synth-guitar sounds previously championed on Daft Punk's 'Discovery' album. The EP also contains two reworks - a pleasingly pulsating, dubbed-out Italo throb-job from Rigopolar and a chunkier, nu-disco style re-make courtesy of Juve - and a couple of additional cuts including 'Set Lazers To Stun', where delay-laden, eyes-closed heavy metal guitar solos twist around a sequenced synth bassline and smooth beats. Rebedello's bonus remix of that track, a more spacey, chugging and mind-altering affair, is also very good.
