“la conquista di luna” (the moon’s conquest, 1969) is composer luciano michelini’s masterpiece, one of the rarest and most sought italian lp’s, an imaginary sci-fi soundtrack enriched by the presence of th e legendary singer edda dell’orso on some tracks. drawing its structure from classical and orchestral soundtracks, the album is tinged with prog elements ahead of their time, soft psychede lia and moments of sheer genius: more than 40 years after its first release, it still guarantees a jaw-dropping listening experience.
the vinyl release includes the album on cd.

eddy & dus have turned >dal mare< into a loungy track, which will do well on dancefloors. the computerjockeys have electrified >un uomo nello spazio< and stirred the whole thing up into a salad of cables, wires and computergame-esque soundscapes. turning up with funk the chicken lips head straight, hunting you with energetic bass and pumping drums.
