Italians Do It Better label boss Mike Simonetti returns with 4 fresh edits on super limited picture disc. First of all, that's one of the coolest pic discs ever (for those that don't know, the image is of the "Golden Record" NASA attached to the Voyager to explain Earth to any would be space travelers that found it), and the edits contained are just as dope. Chic's "Everybody Dance" kicks it off in dub form on "Everybody Dub," a sure shot party starter of the highest degree. Next up comes the burning disco grooves of "Giving And Living," while I'll Root This Mountain Down" switches it up from disco to bouncy, folky rock. A bold stylistic change, but Mike pulls it off with panache. Finally, "Extra Terrestrial Arpeggiator" takes it to the stars with driving arpeggiator pulses and an over the top cosmic climax.
