The pioneering Italo producer is still prolific in the studio, but he also has a huge back catalogue, as this latest reissue shows. A good deal of the release focuses on trippy synth scapes - "It's Not My Life" and "Dark Side of the Spoon" - or grainy ambience, audible on the various instalments of "Salt Peanuts" and "Air Stack". However, what really makes this collection so valuable are Robotnick's experiments at the edges of the Italo Disco sound. "Mexicana" features a sassy electro shuffle and camp vocals, "Studio 01" is the kind of sewer techno that Unit Moebius went on to make and "Arabesca" sees Robotnick welcome Middle Eastern motifs to his spacey disco sound. It makes for one hell of a journey.
