The Italians Do It Better label just informed us that the new Chromatics album Kill For Love has been completed (out January 2012), and the title track is available on itunes. Here is the video, which sounds pretty good:

Piggy-backing on my last post, which featured some blissed-out disco goodness, record label Italians Do It Better, home to some of the more recent italo/space disco bands such as Chromatics and Glass Candy, recently released a compilation called Solid Gold. The labels description is:
Solid Gold is a collection of some early IDIB 12″s, most of which are out of print. Tracks were carefully selected and programmed by our own Johnny Jewel. This is not a mix cd. It is full tracks as they appear on the original 12″s. A compilation of sorts…
This entire compilation is the brainchild of Johnny [Jewel] (production/beat wizard behind both Glass Candy and Chromatics), and he put a lot of time into the tracklisting. We hope you enjoy it. Its perfect driving music.
I bought it a couple weeks back for a whole 5 BUCKS and have really been enjoying it, especially after the sun sets and the heat of the day starts to disappear into the twilight. I highly recommend it and here is one of the reasons why (with vocals by Feist):
Rubies – I Feel Electric feat. Feist (Tiedye Remix)

It makes perfect sense that eventually my musical journey would lead me to Italo Disco, specifically space disco. I mean i love dance music, specifically dance music that is heavy on synthesizers. My recent interest in italo disco started when i first heard Sally Shapiro, Glass Candy, and Chromatics’ take on the genre. Earlier this summer i was stuck in a dub phase, so it makes perfect sense that the transition from spaced out reggae to spaced out disco would be next.
