Archeo Recordings Italy Vinyl & CDs

Review: Silky smooth Italian disco delights abound on this reissue from the ever reliable Archeo. Originally released in 1983, Mario Acquaviva's sought-after Balearic hit gets a much deserved repress to curb the sharks and bring these evergreen grooves to a wider audience. There are plentiful studio touchstones to appreciate here - a little whisper of Supertramp and Steely Dan alongside more overt disco grooves, with lead track "Notturno Italiano" being the stand-out hit. With a more mellow B-side including the sultry "Fortuna", this is a record as much about pure listening pleasure as party scenarios - sit back and let the sumptuous sound envelop you.
