Italoconnection – Midnight Confessions vol. 2
Fred Ventura and Paolo Gozzetti have done it again. Here comes the second part of their Midnight Confessions and a continuation of the story about the world around us with all its advantages and disadvantages. A kind of artists’ commentary on what is happening in the world today, sprinkled with dance electronics. Fred Ventura’s words are filled with melancholy, protest and longing for the first decade of the 1980s, when New Romantic and New Wave reigned supreme in music. He tells us about what he sees, like a train passenger reporting on the landscape he observes. Francesca Gastaldi once again appears as a guest on the group’s album, adding color to the material, and in the next song you can also hear the talented Jaia Sowden. Fred and Paolo are able to create a finished work. You can listen to the album in one breath from beginning to an end, enjoying the original arrangements and wonderful progressions set on simple rhythms referring to the Italo disco era. The CD version of the album has been expanded to include instrumental versions of all songs, so fans can also experience the sound of the synthesizers themselves.
