The Italian guitarist and bandleader Nicola Conte has recorded his first album for the legendary, recently re-established MPS records. Conte has brought with him his cosmic-cosmopolitan ensemble of stars which includes trumpeter Theo Croker, saxophonists Logan Richardson and Magnus Lindgren, and singer Zara McFarlane. For the most part recorded in Bari, Italy and Johannesburg, South Africa, it is a sensitive work of art that crosses the border between soul and spiritual Afro-jazz.Nicola Conte has cast his vision of cosmic jazz into a seamless tonal design – without restricting his players' freedom, leaving them open to the influences of the diverse cultures.
Back from their interstellar journey, Erik van Vliet and Michel van der Kuy once again present a brand new album to Italo Disco & Space Synth fans! After their celebrated comeback "Force Of Order" of 2016, now the "Trans Space Exprpess" is approaching. Already in the 80 s, Laserdance had huge success with their Space Synthesizer Disco Sound (e.g. « Humanoid Invasion », « Powerrun »).

For their fans, this album is an absolute MUST HAVE anyway! It also warmly recommended to fans of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Kebu and similar artists!
