The Cosmic Sprint

In 1984, cosmic disco king Daniele Baldelli and Cosmic Club protégé Claudio Tosi Brandi (aka T.B.C.), along with Sangy (Maurizio Sangineto) and a number of featured musicians produced Cosmic, a cosmic-themed post disco album. The record which includes tracks like "Cosmic Serenade", "Cosmic Macumba", "Cosmic Break", and my personal favorite "Cosmic Sprint" (...you get the idea) does a nice job blending disco, funky jazz fusion, early electro funk, and italo to create, at the time, a unique cosmic sound that was well before it's time. The music kind of reminds me of what Arthur Russell's more uptempo tracks on the Calling Out of Context record. Overall, the album is a classic time piece that helps capture the transition from late 70's era disco to the funky cosmic sounds of the early eighties that clubs like Cosmic became famous for. ENJOY!
