Description

Following up on Strut's retrospective of the legendary UK music library KPM, they've put together a limited, vinyl reissue of one of our favorite Italian library LPs (the originals of which, it should go without saying, are very tough to come by). The 1979 concept gem Desert is composed and arranged by Antonio Vuolo and Elio Grande, originally was released on small Italian label, Cardium. The instrumentation features early electronics to set a cosmic tone, and the album regularly recalls early Tangerine Dream. Stand-out tracks include the haunting slo-mo breakbeat "Leaving," mellow electroscape "Transvesuvian" and the solid jazz fusion jam "Take Flight." As a Record Store Day exclusive, we're reissuing the full album, mastered from the original reels for the first time since its original issue, and with artwork restored from the original lithographs.
