Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Nino Lepore hails from South Italy, and is best known for his self-titled LP from 1986, as well as for his uncredited work on Dancer Record. The ‘Chok Musik’ 12” from Best Record Italy focuses on two productions from his sole LP, and in the titular track, sexualized funk basslines join a disco drum strut, as guitar riffs shimmer and brass and string orchestrations swirl deliriously between filmic romance and symphonic madness. And after a breakdown into percussive chaos, smooth piano solos alternate with passages of sizzling sax. As for “Bad Time,” an introduction of decaying gongs leads to a broken beat groove, with strings evoking atmospheres of exotic noir and horns soloing softly over subdued funk bass motions and distant flashes of guitar. There are jazz rock breakdowns into liquid riffing and flamboyant brass, and during handclap climaxes, horns swell towards the sky.

about

Nino Lepore hails from Bari in South Italy, and is perhaps best known for his self-titled LP released by Emmegi Records in 1986, though the more obscure oriented heads also know him as the uncredited arranger and producer behind Seba Romito’s work on Dancer Record. For the ‘Chok Musik’ 12”, Best Record Italy has chosen to focus on two productions from Nino’s sole LP, and in the titular track, sexualized funk basslines slither and slide over a strutting disco drum stomp, as golden guitar riffs shimmer and orchestral hazes of brass and strings swirl deliriously, sometimes alighting on adventures of filmic romance, while at other times generating drunken symphonic storms. There are abstracted breakdowns into robotic calculations and mechanized percussive chaos, while elsewhere, electric piano solos alternate with sizzling sax leads. As for “Bad Time,” a fourth world introduction of decaying gongs and hand percussions leads to a broken beat groove, which sees sensual strings generating exotic noir colorations while horns solo softly over subdued funk bass motions and distant flashes of guitar. There are progressive jazz rock breakdowns into liquid riffing and flamboyant brass that recall King Crimson, and during bombastic handclap climaxes, horns swell towards a sunburst sky.
