ltds repress best record italy take the time machine all the way back to 1979 to revisit the wonderful italo-disco delights of adolf stern, whose -more... i like it- represents the strangest end of the genre as it was taking shape. with heavily processed vocals injecting some serious strangeness into the chirpy disco backdrop, it s the kind of track to turn heads without a doubt. -twenty seven- on the b-side is equally magical in its capturing of the era, with the more obvious surface elements underpinned by a truly intoxicating line in synth arpeggios. once again best comes up trumps refreshing the history of italian music of all shapes and sizes.
