Oh man, yes. It's like someone made something with the bright quality and sheen of The Age Of Plastic, but with more experimentalism rolled into it. Which is to say: just fantastic. I need to hear this album.

I feel like I'm at the intersection of retro-futurism and predicted nostalgia.

For a moment there I thought the host at the beginning of the clip appeared in prisencolinensinainciusol, but no, it's Stefania Rotolo, who apparently has has her own brand of disco weirdness.

I'm torn between the urge to point and laugh and the need to proclaim it as genius.

Cute.Lots of fun goodness here to enjoy. Love the robot dancer, seeing the dance floor with dancers. That hat! ha!

From your alteredzones.com link it said: "I'm a sucker for arpeggiators sometimes. Think it was all that Ray Lynch mom played me as a kid. Huh, had to google. Ahh, so that's what that is."

Some things languish in obscurity for a reason.
