Our Take
Our Take
Massimo Nunzi's debut album "Orchestra Operaia: Into The 80s" is a deliciously retro romp through the synth-heavy sounds of the decade that taste forgot.
With a title like that, you might be expecting some serious political commentary or at least a nod to the struggles of the working classes. But fear not, Nunzi is more interested in getting you on your feet and shaking your neon leg warmers.
The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Labour Party Disco," a funky ode to the struggles of the proletariat that is sure to get even the most dedicated capitalist tapping their toes.
Tracks like "Thatcher's Nightmare" and "Reagan's Boogie" bring a touch of political satire to the dancefloor, while "Miners' Shuffle" is a heartfelt tribute to the unsung heroes of the coal pits.
But it's not all politics and social commentary here - Nunzi knows how to have a good time, as evidenced by the irresistible hooks of "New Romantic Revolution" and the cheeky charm of "Punk Rock Polka."
Overall, "Orchestra Operaia: Into The 80s" is a joyous celebration of a decade that gave us leg warmers, big hair, and even bigger synths. Nunzi may not be reinventing the wheel here, but who needs innovation when you've got this much fun on offer? Put on your dancing shoes and dive into this retro delight - you won't regret it.
