That Antoni Maiovvi 'Electro Muscle Cult' CD from last year was great, it was a shame there were only 100 copies pressed as it came and went fairly quickly. What a pleasant surprise to find a follow up album appear before me... I hit play and I'm immodestly sucked into the fantasy world where the second moon of Jupiter has been colonized by man. The 'Shadow Of The Bloodstained Kiss' album is a fictitious score to a nonexistent 1983 Italian Sci-Fi Giallo movie. As you can imagine it's synthesizer heaven with smatterings of arpeggiated Moroder, Alexander Robotnick style italo disco. He's certainly nailed the formula and some of it does sound quite authentic. I way prefer the original stuff although this is a fine tribute to cool era in electronic music.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

‘Shadow of the Blood Stained Kiss’ is the Antoni Maiovvi score to a nonexistent 1983 Italian Sci-fi giallo starring Barbara Cupisti and Ian McCulloch.  In the distant future "Europa," the 2nd moon of Jupiter has been colonized by man.  In the midst of this Utopian era a dangerous struggle for power between organised crime and the highest level of government is underway and when Juliet Hardy (Barbara Cupisti), a stunning discotheque singer, becomes witness to a murder the only person who believes her is tough-nosed cyber-journalist, Jason Scott (Ian McCulloch). Together, they unravel more than they bargained for as a sadistic killer runs loose brutally slaying anyone in connection to the crime. Who does this man in black work for and what is the connection between him and an ancient order that have been controlling the known universe since the dawn of time?

After the dance floor storming success of his debut album on Seed Records, ‘Electro Muscle Cult; which had Dazed & Confused proclaiming him the ‘King of Italo’ whilst Mark Moore went weak at the knees and the legendary Italian composer – in between a bowl of penne, a fine Chianti and a narcotics related execution -  Fabio Frizzi, passed more than favourable judgment, Antoni Maiovvi returns with a cracking follow up that pays homage to all the best bits of John Carpenter, Goblin and Zombi and sets alight to them with a flame thrower ala Fahrenheit 451’s Guy Montag.
