Cruisin' Records to commemorate in advance its 40th anniversary (1983-2023)presents "Takes Over", a delightful compilation containing six extended versions of Italo-Disco tracks selected from its vast catalog.

The work - realized by Best Record, compiled by Nello Jay and skilfully remastered by Dom Scuteri - presents with some epic 1985 hits other lesser-known songs, still unexplored, may be for this reason considered more engaging and intriguing whetting the appetite of followers and lovers of the genuine Italo-Disco style.
"Takes Over" could only begin and end with one of the most representative artists of the Modenese label: Max-Him, whose most loved creatures are the sensational "Japanese Girl" and the remix version of the amazing "Lady Fantasy".

The sound is powerful and the rhythm is always supported by the choral and structured "For Your Sweet Information" by the fantastic P.J. Marcus, stage name of the singer-saxophonist James Thompson. Then, we've the pleasant surprise that comes out of Ennio Manuel's magic top hat: Roxana, sublime interpreter of "In Your Eyes , a danceable piece ", whose melodic text... Je t'aime mon amour, I love you , Ich hab dich gern... were very popular in gay clubs all over Europe.

"Heigh Ho" is a simple and catchy theme with a great arrangement. The piece sung by Fabian Nesti has such power that even today you never get tired of listening and dancing. Another exceptional piece of pure electricity is "I Need Your Love" where the male and female voices of the Midnight Passion marry perfectly in this masterpiece of great energy.
