Kompakt and Return to Disorder affiliate Captain Moustache makes a welcome return to the Exploited catalogue and invites you to join him on a clean, cosmic quest down the Autobahn soundtracked by his latest offering Ballerina. A misty Italo loop circulates, mobilised by a propulsive thud and a concise, crispy synth snare. Archetypal tones capture the spirit of German pioneers as lucent melodies are interlaced in a braid of gently rousing emotion that recalls classic Flügel. Drums keep things tightly pinned while rich pads pilot progress until the end of a beautifully executed exercise in the raw materials of Synth Pop and Italo Disco.
