ONE OF *THE* DEFINING MOMENTS OF ITALO DISCO

"Despite his high-pitched thin voice and his heavy italian accent, Alan Ross cranked out this gem in 1986, one of the best Italo Disco tracks ever. Unfortunately, it got lost in the glut of Italo releases that was typical for that era. Alan's not a strong vocalist, but that's not what matters here: it's the melody and those (dare I say it this way?) pretty synthesizers. The track clocks in at 119 BPMs, so this is perfect for dancing or just listening. The instrumental is included so you can make your own extended mix if you wish. Truly a classic dance track. This pressing is taken from the original master, so it's flawless. Pure Italo perfection. (Ignore the extra track "The Last Wall", however...don't know why it's here but it's boring and tuneless.)"
