Fitness Forever - Tonight [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Calling an album full of Italian-disco Tonight is a total declaration of intent. Without mercy. Carlos Valderrama and company's third album doesn't let you rest for even a second. Blood, sweat, and tears on the dance floor. Syncopated rhythms, instrumental exuberance, unforgettable melodies. It's a fine line between those minutes of wakefulness and drifting off into a light sleep, in that undefined space where dreams begin. And all of this is floating around the epicenter of a triangle formed by, on one side, great composers, both Italian and classic, who nourished Fitness Forever's first album in 2009, Personal Train (Ennio Morricone, Nico Fidenco, Gino Paoli, Piero Umiliani and Burt Bacharach). The second side of the triangle is the soft-pop inspiration of the second album, "Cosmos" from 2013 (Paul Williams, Marcos Valle, Serge Gainsbourg and Lucio Battisti), and the third side is the dark, classical names from the Italian-disco tradition scratched from the shelves of the most intrepid music lovers (Number One Ensemble, Kano, Le Streghe, Eva Eva Eva, Alberto Radius, Adriano Pappalardo, Enzo Carella, Franco Califano, Filipponio). And the triangle is wrapped in a dose of the current and contemporary, and the ambiance you can find in bands like Justice, The Go! Team, Metronomy and Daft Punk.
