Music For Dreams are proud to present the latest vinyl sampler of ‘Mediterraneo - Rare Balearica Vol 1’, their Leo Mas curated series of sought after Italian goodies! Leo Mas says: "This third sampler of my ‘Mediterraneo’ compilation opens with ‘U (I Dig You)’ by Chrisma, a cover of ‘Who’ by Odyssey, a project from 1974 that saw Vangelis collaborate with Richelle Dassin and Robert Fitoussi and which only ever came out on 7". It was covered twice in 1977, once by Chrisma and also by Demis Roussous, with his ‘I Dig You’ version. Chrisma's cover was produced by Niko Papathanassiou, Vangelis' brother, and the version I choose is the Extended, found on side A of the original 12", a sexy and nocturnal funk disco suite that I love. “The second track on side A of the sampler is ‘Clouds Over Thin Paper’ by Faust'O from his album ‘Love Story’ that came out in 1985. Faust'O is a great borderline artist, original and innovative, a true rebel. His first productions from the late Seventies have a sound between Berlin Bowie, Joy Division and the first dark new-wave. “On the B side, I choose ‘Blue Light’, a track by Giorgio Li Calzi ft. Marconi Union. Calzi collaborated in his career with artists like Wolfgang Flür from Kraftwerk, Alexandre Balanescu and others and for this track he worked with Marconi Union from Manchester, true makers of a minimal English ambient sound, who also worked with Jah Wobble. ‘Blue Light’ is an emotional track with a great dreamy atmosphere that I loved at first listening, simply beautiful. With my partner Fabrice we did a version of ‘Blue Light’, the Androids Dream Remix. We chose this title because while working on it memories of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner came to us!", finishes Mas. Limited vinyl - don’t sleep.
