Steve Moore has been releasing a string of stellar material lately. Whether it’s as one half of the duo Zombi, his film soundtracks (real and otherwise) under the alias Gianni Rossi, or his own name (Kompakt, L.I.E.S.) his track record is pretty impeccable. For someone who does not have his sights set on the dancefloor and never really “got” club music he’s been making a ton of highly dancable music, particularly of the Italian inflected variety. With Lovelock he dives headfirst into the world glossy world of Italo disco and synth-pop. And there’s no better choice of producer to remix this latest project than Morgan Geist (Metro Area, Storm Queen). His taste for Italo is no secret and he brings it with his work on “Maybe Tonight.” He steers safely away from kitschy territory and directs the track towards its destiny as a top ten hit that never was. Recommended.
