Sandro Codazzi is a guy who in the 90s played bass guitar into some dark wave bands. In 2004 formed the electronic duo Silicon Wafer and with them invented the "Electro blow job music". I can't tell how it sounded but this served good for his new self named project. Produced and mixed by Cristiano Santini (singer with Disciplinatha, Italian band active during the late 80s/early 90s) the first self named Sandro Codazzi album contains ten songs which sound in balance from electro, italo disco, new wave (the bass guitar on "Aftermath" recalled me the early New Order) and synthpop. Dedicated to the F1 pilot Elio De Angelis (check his photos taken by Bernard Asset's used here for the graphics), the songs refer to the racing iconography thanks to titles like "Uno turbo I E", "Sierra cosworth", "Android ritmo abarth" or "Sex in the Kadett". Using mostly vocoder filtered vocals Sandro Codazzi has as vocals guests Valentina Castellani (member of Der Feuerkreiner) on "F.I.A.L.A.S." and Valentina Gioiosa (member of House Of Light) on "Transitions" and "Automatic love songs". Talking about the music, most of the tracks are mid tempo/fast dancey instrumentals where you can dig fully great synth analog sounds (Codazzy also collects and repairs old synth keyboards) but there are also pop driven tracks like "Transitions" which can be an hit into the electro dance scene (if you like Digitalism, you can check also Codazzi). I can't name any band that sounds the same but if you love the French retro sound of bands of the likes of Kavinsky and Hypnolove or the retro electro wave of Neongrau, Keen K, Datafreq, DJ Gio MC-505 and Imiafan, be sure to check this cool album.
