Milano 84
Ultradisco
After the surprising debut with Monochromatic, Milano 84 - the musical project of Fabio Di Ranno and Fabio Fraschini - returns with a new album that brings the formula into even sharper focus. Synth pop, new wave, Italo disco acquire a contemporary dimension and an international flavour. Ultradisco brings together eleven tracks, some in English, others in Italian. They are velvet dancefloor songs, emotional and romantic, elegantly distant from the obvious. Milan 84's fellow travellers include, among others: Johnson Righeira, here in the futurist reinterpretation of a Franco Battiato classic (Summer on a solitary beach); Anita Dadà - a well-known avant-garde artist - is with Fabrizio Massara (Baustelle) in the languid and intense Darling; Andy (Bluvertigo) and Alice Silvestrini (Laison) illuminate the prismatic Crystal; Anna Soares - a revolutionary performer - and Eugene - electro songwriter - colour Italopop, a manifesto made up of dcollage quotations; Fred Ventura ignites the engines of the new wave to come with The right words. And he is also artistic supervisor of this unmissable album for all lovers of the 80s, the decade that never ended.
