Pink colorations and disco pop confections abound on Eva Eva Eva’s self titled 1978 LP, which is the newest reissue on Futuribile in collaboration with Peer-Southern Productions.

The LP possess a stunning sense of eclecticism and depth, with dazzling displays of diva dynamism proceeding over a range of textures and moods…shimmering disco, rustic blues, cinematic exotica, ripping rock’n’roll, and candy dipped funk and soul, with touches of cosmic synth occasionally accenting the mix. And sitting deep on the B-side is a wonderful Italian language version of “Stayin’ Alive.”

Naples 1982, the earthquake leaves rubble and dismay, unease and misery, smuggling and heroin.
The reconstruction is a shadow that will last more than a decade, it is a shady deal between bureaucrats and
criminals.
Naples is an open construction site and the redemption was long coming. There was the "music-music" of the
Neapolitan Power, which conquers the national limelight, and a dark and marginal enigma called
"VESUWAVE" (especially for those who have not experienced it), that remains so, even after many years.
Naples is not a country for young bands that are not familiar with tradition and "bel canto" while the record
industry inhabits a platonic and incorruptible world beyond the vault of heaven. At that time five Lucanians and
three Neapolitans founded Little Italy, probably a tribute to the homonymous district of New York and inspired
by Talking Heads, Contorsions, Polyrock, B-52's, Konk and Liquid Liquid. They have the freedom to
experiment and smash the stages of the Italian peninsula festivals more attentive to the new waves as well as
participate in some television broadcasts. They basically don’t unnoticed but in spite of the apprenticeship and
the kilometers covered in three years of activity (from 1983 to 1985) all they had the chance to record were a
couple of songs.
Fragments is a compilation made with archived materials that Futuribile Records releases on vinyl after
having discovered and restored old unreleased tapes from back in the day and made available by the band
members themselves. Seven tracks that highlight a collective in continuous transformation and outline
their drivers and abilities.
Little Italy have a horn section that gives them that chromatic vivacity, a typically mutant funk guitar groove,
two fatal and dazed female voices who speak many languages (English, French, Italian) reciting collages of
cryptic texts evoking modernity through no-sense and cultured quotations; a funk thrill in the basslines and
drums solutions that give a nod to the sly disco beat of a specific easy listening, elegant and refined Italo
sound. A super-sophisticated sound with the right dose of fusion, proper New Wave, which in the more New-
Yorker passages recalls the volcanic and sweaty sound of the contemporary and fellow citizens Bisca,
another out-of-the-box band member. The warm Mediterranean wind blowing on some tracks certifies their
origin and the exoticism leads Little Italy to drink from that oasis of escape.
After all, the escape from a world that does not contemplate banality is the synthesis of the 1980s thought.
(Words by Fabio Astore)

“I Go” is an incredible piece of club-focused electronic music and showcases a very different sound to previous single “Nabi”. Described by The FADER as “the kind of dazzlement you get from light dancing off of ocean water on a hot day: pure dopamine activating bliss” and Resident Advisor as “a refreshingly low-key jam”, “Nabi” was an evocative piece of slow-burning, 98bpm electronic pop, inspired by 80s synth classics, the piano pieces of renowned composer Erik Satie and the 80s and 90s Korean songs Gou's mother used to play at home during her childhood. “I Go” takes inspiration from a similar era but this time the energy comes from Gou’s love of 90’s dance anthems, many of which she revisited during lockdown and an enforced break from touring. Both retain the hallmarks of Peggy Gou’s unique take on electronic music; at once both nostalgic and totally modern. But on “I Go”, the tempo, 808s and 909s are dialled right up for a self-motivating anthem that is set, to soundtrack a summer when we can all hopefully dance together in our thousands again.

For the fourth Serie Pegaso release, Periodica invites the listener on an escapist adventure through the ‘Citta’ Futura’ of Bassolino. With arrangements assisted by Paolo Petrella and a host of contributing musicians joining along, the album presents a paradise of sun-seared fusion colorations…horns skronking and six strings riffing over latin dance rhythms, liquid keys and cosmic leads setting the air aflame, and filmic guitar themes riding across epic deserts as spaghetti western belles sing romantic tales amidst flute and piano. It’s a sonic world of texture, mood, and cinematic magic, where midnite funk grooves transition into sorcerous prog rock melodrama, and where symphonic soul themes sing out over galactic percolations and kinetic disco jamming.

The second release on the Nijmegen label/club night Blauwdruk is here, enlisting the help of Telephones and Mario Marini to edit two 80s boogie cuts from the European mainland.

On the A-side, the Norwegian Berliner Telephones delivers an epic rework of the 1983 tune 'Sock It' by Indian-Finnish artist Jolly Kunjappu. Sax solos, extended breakdowns and synth hooks that will stick like glue; it's all there.
On the B-side, Nijmegen's Mario Marini delivers the midas touch to the lost Dutch boogie tune 'Without Love' by L & B Band. You'll instantly recognize the original this version was based on, but the synth solo and drum break give the tune a whole new life.

Pressed LOUD at Mother Tongue, Verona. Remastered and cut by Helmut Erler.
Officially licensed from the original artists. More
