About this item

Peek of Normal is the new label from disco veteran Stevie Kotey, whose productions have graced Bear Funk, Ambassador's Reception, Strut, Electric Minds and many more labels in the past and its inaugural release comes from Dutch master Mark du Mosch. Sterling Melody is quite the labour of love and the eight tracks, spread across a double vinyl pack collection, lean towards the coldwave, electro and synthpop end of the dancefloor spectrum. There are echoes of some pretty classic sounds here, from the Vince Clarke-esque throb of '77777st' and 'A5G Neowise' - not unlike the soundtrack work of mid period Tangerine Dream - to the slower motioning Italo-tinged shininess of 'Soluzio'. Our favourite is the title track itself, perky and full of sparkle, like the incidental music for a lost series about a mullet-clad, white linen suited detective who doesn't play by the rules - only much, much better than they ever were back in the 80s. Definitely worth a Peek.
