Capuano - Maternal Desperation (Zeus)

...from 'Close Encounters' (Decca Records 1978)


Today a rare release by italian musicians and producers Mario and Giosy Capuano. This is a very interesting album, an obscure crossover experiment betweeen black funk, electronic music and italian classical melodic songs. I think the result is wonderful, i was pleasantly surprised of it! Oh, only the first track of this LP is related to the movie 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', and, of course, the drawing on front cover, as you can see!
Enjoy 'Maternal Desperation (Zeus)', a sophisticated psyched-out funk gem you'll never find in any other blogs... :-) !

Dwayne Ford - It's Got To Be You

...from 'The Rollerboy OST' LP (CAM Records 1980)


This is a rare soundtrack i've digged out in a record store for about 3 euros...totally forgotten by the crew of that shop! I've ripped for you 'It's Got To Be You', a classic synth-disco track composed by Dwayne Ford. Canadian famous soul-disco singer Patsy Gallant sung in that song for the vocal version! ENJOY IT! Bye!
