Naughty Rhythm Italy Vinilo y CD

Review: Defining 'cosmic disco' has always been tough, though most would agree that the use of spacey synthesisers, sci-fi themes and oddball arrangements underpin the sound's appeal. There's plenty of those elements to be found on the 12 largely obscured, overlooked gems packed on to the latest edition of Naught Rhythm's Cosmic Discotheque compilation series. It's genuinely packed to the rafters with intergalactic discoid treats, with highlights including the sweeping, synth arpeggio-driven disco exotica of 'Hyno Dance' by Who's Who, the heavily orchestrated, low tempo grandiosity of Mystic Moods' 'Ride The Sky', the synth-smothered disco-funk heaviness of Dance Machine's 'Disco Crazy', the solo-heavy madness of the cosmic disco-goes-dancefloor jazz madness of the Yeitans' 'Funk Disco Sound', and the global disco campery of Obah's 'Shaba Da Ba Dam'.
