This is what they want. Italo disco with vocals that straddle the fromage asteroid belt and widen the gap between credibility and pure bollocks. The lyrics are great, but what is “electric gear” if that’s what is said? It’s synth pingingtastic with a spacey melody. SURELY WE ARE ALIENS, NOT ALIEN? Anyway, both are correct innit. ‘Halkidiki’ comes in both an English and Greek version and is similarly brilliant. Using a similarly arpeggiated approach, it’s everything you want to hear when you’re battered and things are getting just that little bit messy. The Greek version could even be Nana Mouskouri if you use your imagination. Go on! Next time make the extended versions longer though. They’re not that extended.
