With his poodle perm, glam rock dress and cheap synthesizer fixation, Wolfram Eckert certainly looks a bit of a character. Before putting together this debut album, he'd released very few records though he was the knob-twiddling synth genius behind Sally Shapiro's shimmering Euro pop excursions. Shapiro herself appears here, alongside a stellar list of collaborators - Hercules & Love Affair, Legowelt, Haddaway (yes that Haddaway!), Sebastian, Patrick Pulsinger and Paul Parker all of whom seem keen to revel in Eckert's distinctive, pan European disco sound. It makes for a decent if overtly camp set a fun but stylized nu-disco era fusion of wobbly Italo disco, Cowley-esque Hi-NRG, Moroder-ish stomp and cheery European pop.
