Intergalactic Gary – Pains Of Passion Mix [RDR004]
More from the Roller Disco reissue series, as Intergalactic Gary’s tongue-in-cheek tribute to the joys of camp ’80s synthesizer music gets a deserved repress. For the uninitiated, Intergalactic Gary is a Hague-based synth fetishist and notorist Italo digger. Here, he showcases a tiny fraction of his unrivalled collection of (largely European) synth-pop and disco oddities, mixing up 19 tracks that will be new to all but the most dusty-fingered of collectors.

Ein-St-Ein – Varsavia [BAP005]
A true italo/new-wave holy grail by the mythological Italian duo Ein-St-Ein. First published on vinyl on the hard to find Columbus Compilation LP from 1985 and now finally on 12” wax. Varsavia tells a poetic story about Warsaw in it’s cold days. With the beautiful melancholic vocals of Emanuele Barison and the wonderful dark and heroic synths composition by Paolo Piuzzi this track takes you on a sentimental fairy tale. Comes with a ‘tape version’ and the track ‘Wasraw’ taken from the rare Elettricidintorni cassette compilation. On top a bonus track by Sinners, the prog-rock group formed by the members of Ein-St-Ein in the early 80’s; previously only available on 7”.
Asso – Do It Again [369.008]
Official release of the previously unreleased album of the famous 12” classic. ASSO the alter ego of italian producer Victorio Pezzolla is something like a Italo Disco one hit wonder. The Do it Again / Don’t Stop 12” has original been released in 1983 and is meanwhile one of the most sought after 12” releases from Italy. Unfortunately the related album hasen’t been brought to the market back in the 80’s. Victorio Pezzolla and Private Records rediscovered the original analog master tape some months ago in an archive of an Italian publisher. The absurdity that the music has never been commercially released leads to the fact that this masterpiece, a complete unreleased original 80’s album, will be brought to you fresh and unspent in 2012. Italo Disco, Space Funk and balearic grooves are combining to an unique Italo Disco release.
Bandido’s Gang – Dance With Bandido’s Gang [CD012]
Ostensibly one of Italo Disco’s great lost producers, we suspect that Bandido’s Gang may well be a nom de plume for one of the label’s many associates. Whatever their provenance, the tracks certainly sound like vintage Italo, with ”Marinche” leading with a pulsating bass arpeggio and synth horn melody worthy of Moroder, whilst the Flemming Dalum & Steen Gjerulff remix adds layers of vocoder and a variety of cosmic accents to its sturdy frame. ”Last Train to Tucamari” meanwhile takes a more languid approach, pulling in an opposite direction to the speeding train samples, whilst Flemming Dalum & Mike Salta’s remix adds some guitar licks, hazy synth atmospherics and even a flute solo which just adds to the classic Italo feel.
Lovables – It’s Beautiful [IDL014]
I.D. Limited present the first EP for 2012, three classic tracks with the vocals of Mauro Farina; Lovables – It’s Beautiful (vocal + instrumental), Pierrot’s Gang – Mexico and Danny Keith – Love Me Again. All tracks come from the original masters, so this vinyl sounds superb.

David Vunk – Bowie EP [MST019]
In his dark analog Moustache Records homestudio downtown Rotterdam city David Vunk made his ”Bowie ep”. This energizing ep contains 3 various styled tracks for the dancefloor. On the this side the track ”Forever Always” a stunning filter house tune with a vocal that goes on and on, a fat party break and rolling low kickdrums topped with some crazy hihat programming. On the that side two tracks. A notorious full power hi energy nu-disco/electro track filled with evil strings, catchy melody, tr-808 drums and arp odyssey baseline madness called ”Disco Sysex”. The b2 track called ”Vroezenpark” sounds like it comes straight from hell, a dusty techno track with Berlin infleunces, tr-909 drums and a Roland jupiter 8 synth. Insane and paranoia style. This very limited pressing comes with luxury gatefold fullcolour sleeve, poster and hand numbered, limited copies..

Grand Prix – Mach 1 [SF67987]
Reissue for this super-rare space funk album from 1983, one of the holy grails of the Cosmic scene. Extremely expensive and hard-to-find in the original, this LP was created by legendary French producers Jean-Pierre Massiera and Bernard Torelli (listed here as Areisam and Bernie) and released on French label Savoir Faire. It is a superb example of the duos innovative electronic disco madness, always pushing boundaries while remaining supremely funky. Stand-outtracks are the Italo classic “Challenger” – heady synths, tough bass and astronaut vocals combine in a strange space odyssey, “Cruisin”, a superb electro-boogie style cut with a hypnotic driving bassline, and the fantastic “On The Border”, a tight funky percussive workout whipped by wild space-rock guitars.
VA – Let’s Go Into Space… [369.006]
