REISSUE: “Only Music Survives” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Alba





REISSUE:  “Only Music Survives” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Alba

Alba is an Italo-disco singer with her first single “Only Music Survives” from 1985 being one of the iconic moments of disco, fantasy and art are beautifully combined. The production and arrangement from Roberto Gasparini and Pino Nicolosi are my motivation to salute this arena of Italo-disco and hardcore club anthems. This mystical track brings the feel of early morning melodic beats and a lovely performance by our chanteuse is haunting. The music is credited to Dora Carofiglio (Suzanne Meals, Valerie Dore, Novecento) who has always given a wonderful and touching sound to any affiliated project. “Only Music Survives” is a must for any Italo-disco connoisseur and or students of this magnificent period in dance music history.

I have taken the 12” of “Only Music Survives” using both mixes to recreate a rolling and sweeping ReStructure Mix to pay tribute to the wonderful players and Alba Parietti in continuing the torch and creating this lovely style of dance music. A bit more effects are added along with some looping which emphasizes the feeling on a deeper level.
