Disko Selectors - "Hiroshima" - (7:16) 112 BPM
Futuro Tropicale & Le Macchine - "Velenoso" - (7:43)
115 BPM Review: Here, Spain's Disko Selectors offer further proof of their crate digging and re-edit skills, delivering a killer rework of a dusty old Italo-style gem. The track's title - "Hiroshima" - may be a clue to its' origin, though the track's spiraling synthesizers, crusty rock touches and symphonic outlook is pure prog rock/Italo-disco fusion. Crucially, it's really good; arguably one of the standout tracks of the To Rack & Ruin series to date. On the flip, the previously unknown Futuro Tropicale & Le Macchine [sic] saunter off in a different direction, turning in a formidable dub disco take of a low-slung AOR bomb. With bluesy guitar riffs, delay-laden vocal snippets and alien synthesizer flashes to the fore, it has all the makings of a future basement classic.
