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 »). In 2016, after 16 years of silence, they celebrated a much noticed comeback. Thanks to the overwhelming feedback, they decided to continue with another album! 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!

Seems like only yesterday (probably because it was) that the Psychic Circle label explored some of the uncharted depths of British and European psycho-prog on the first volume of Blow Your Cool.

Originally known as Ben Iverson and the NueDey Express, the newly Christened Crown Heights Affair relocated to De-Lite Records in 1975. With the benefit of worldwide distribution, the group achieved immediate success with a stream of singles.

In the UK they made the Top 40 in 1978 with "Galaxy Of Love", and #10 in 1980 with "You Gave Me Love". The album Do It Your Way contained the tunes "Dancin'", "Far Out" and "(Do It) The French Way".
