This collection of twisted 80‚s robotic hopped up pop opens the lid on a curious
sound that until recently had been virtually forgotten. This humorous cousin of
more straight-laced electroid grooves known as ŒItalo-Disco‚ has been embraced
by the style press recently, and now it‚s the listener‚s turn to decide if they
believe the hype is warranted. Sphinx present „Collision‰ in Remixed form,
where silly synths, flashlight keys and following beats combine. The
ŒInstrumental‚ of Klein & MBO‚s „Wonderful‰ is a lovely serene number, with
blended percussion, ghosted strings and flowing synths. The ŒHot Mix‚ of
Scotch‚s „Pinguin‚s Invasion‰ lets graceful strings ride alongside circling
synths and jiggling beats. A curious compilation that is worth a listen for
those who want something electroey with a funny twist. oh yes.
