The Italians Do It Better artist roster keeps on delivering great music! Their second compilation, After Dark 2, proves there's still so much to enjoy. Some artists haven't been heard from since the first installment, but their comeback is a pleasant surprise. After Dark 2 is a rare compilation that flows like a full - fledged album, thanks in large part to Johnny Jewel's growing production skills. Contributions from Chromatics and the return of Glass Candy showcase his strengths. He's like the modern - day faceless electro/disco producers of the 80s, churning out top - notch tracks effortlessly. You'll find the expected Italo disco and cool female vocals, but Jewel's studio magic makes the sound more powerful. Most of the compilation has an air of heroic longing, with anthemic songs about sadness and despair. Even the instrumentals have a touch of sentimental doom. Acts like Mirage and Farah offer nice diversions. This is a welcome return from Italians Do It Better. It's a triple LP on clear vinyl with a full - color insert. The CD comes with a booklet. Highly recommended.
To enjoy this product, simply place the vinyl on your turntable and drop the needle gently to start the music. For the CD, insert it into your CD player. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or fingerprints on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Keep the CD in its case when not in use to protect it from scratches. If you're using the booklet or insert, handle them carefully to avoid tearing. Have a great listening experience!
