Luna Rossa is a shadowy Italo-disco compilation steeped in the eerie allure of Giallo cinema, so mystery, murder and madness abound. Imagined as the soundtrack to a lost thriller, the album opens with Johnny Jewel's haunting 'Flesh,' a breathy, poison-laced gem. Simple Symmetry drops 'Il Gatto Nero,' a pulsing disco cut featuring a sampled cat's heartbeat, while Dutchman Legowelt (as Occult Orientated Crime) delivers the creeping 'Oberalp Catarsi.' Contributions from Prefuse 73, Antoni Maiovvi, Emil Amos and others round out this sinister sonic tale. Pressed on lucky dip transparent red 'blood base' vinyl, it's a superb and spooky delight.[info sheet from distr.]
