from the 12” single, House of Music Records, 1983I usually trend towards the instrumental sides of my favorite italo tracks, due to the sometimes annoying habit of the singers to try too hard and sing too much, but this track already had such sparse & robotic lyrics in the first place that they actually enhance the song’s effect, and I find myself missing them when they aren’t there. The man behind Casco was Italian DJ Salvatore Cusato, and although his name showed up “presenting” group BWH on their italo hit, “Livin Up” b/w ”Stop”, they just shared a label, and his name isn’t included on that single’s credits. That leaves this bouncy number as one of only two singles Casco ever recorded, and that rarity of output matched with the high level of quality found in this track explains (not convincingly to me, however) the $100+ price tag for used copies of this original pressing.
