Instead I spend my fistfull of meager cash on the Raiders of the Lost Arp "4" (solo 2xLP by Mario Pierro) which is brilliant deep melodic italo techno. I am quite into that whole Final Frontier distribution stuff, the Pigna label especially.. cool bunch of artists.. Marco Passarani is a huge detroit techno fan BTW... you can totally hear that influence, however distant, in their moods/sounds, esp. that whole m500 "night drive thru babylon" early detroit electro.
I second that! I picked up this album this weekend to and i must say that it is definitely one of my favorite albums in a long time and right now it is in a serious battle with the Narcisist. The Raiders of the lost Arp album is gorgeous, tinkling melodies, funky, laidback beats with sweeping strings. Love it!
