Review: After a hiatus of three years, Bottin fires up the Cristalli Liquidi project for more pop-leaning Italo-disco revivalism. Bottin initially wanted people to think Cristalli Liquidi was a real band, though in truth it has always been a vehicle for the more song-focused side of his work. 'Rosso Carnale' features vocals from sometime Hoga Nord Rekords duo Deux Control, who make their presence felt on the EP opening 'Italo Mix' - a kind of mid-80s style Balearic synth-pop bubbler underpinned by Italo-disco bass and beats. The 'Mutant Version' that follows re-frames the track as a squelchy electro number with spacey deep house stabs, while Bottin's 'Fast Tape Dub' is a pitched-up, acid-flecked Italo-disco throb-job. Finally, Deux Control deliver their own dub, a hard and squelchy electro affair tailor-made for early morning dancefloors.
