With a name and cover like that you wouldn't expect this to be a rare Italo Disco effort from the late 70's which is surprisingly very good and has influenced Aphex Twin amongst others.

Saying it's a Balearic influenced chill out Electronic album makes it sound very unappealing but this is really good stuff. Like The Durutti Column without the vocals and added beats. Very subtle and quite sexy:

It was generally agreed that Acid House started in Chicago circa '88 and then this pops along dating to '82 and changed the history books. A curio to say the least.

Made a thread but maybe not anyone's cup of tea really. Shame as Prog heads, soundtrack fans and Electronica lovers would dig this. 70's Tangerine Dream too.
