No, seriously, we’re very excited about this one. After all, with a tracklist boasting original cuts and remixes from synthesizing legend Georgio Moroder, along with San Francisco electro-punk pioneers The Units (check out our Choice Cut album review of said band’s retrospective summer album by clicking here), it’s understandable news of this release made an impact.
Gianluca Pandullo, or I-Robots, is the chap behind Opilec Music, an Italian label that’s nothing if not distinguished. On January 30th (2012) the imprint will release ‘We Are Opilec’, a double-disc effort that attempts to summarise an organisation with an enviably diverse output. Name-checking the likes of Todd Terje and Orlando Voorn is always going to be a good thing, as is any reference to 013 (Stuart “Dominatrix” Argabright), so coupled with the two heroic acts referenced in the first paragraph it’s safe to say this is far from your average compilation, and is well worth investigation.
