Review: With a title like 'Cosmic Memories' your middle name doesn't need to be Sherlock to work out what's going on here, as Rare Wiri bring us a nine-track collection that pays homage to the trippy, synth-fuelled disco of early 80s Italy. Who better to kick things off, then, than cosmic disco originator Daniel Baldelli, with his and DJ Rocca's remix of Manolo's 'Amalfi Drive'? That sets the tone nicely for an album that's long on glacial synths, 80s-sounding electronic drum beats, Euro-style vox and dramatic magenta blusher... okay, you can only actually HEAR the first three of those, but you get the idea! Phoreski's 'Slow Down' stands out for yours truly, packing as it does a little more of Da Funk.
Review: The '80s man from Madrid - Rayko - returns at the helm of a whole compilation of sleek synth cuts, Rare Wiri Chronicles. The timing couldn't be more perfect with the sunshine vibes collected here guaranteed to dispel even the slightest thought of winter blues. Highlights include the Sasse-esque digi-sweat-funk grind, "Wanting You" by Illya Rudman, Rayko & Landerground's sensual sophisti-pop seducer, "Mechanical Life" and the spacey Italo-disco joint, "Air Shark" by Phoreski.
