## Description

Digitally remastered two CD collection containing a trio of albums plus bonus tracks. Celso Valli is one of the Kings of the Italian disco scene. His skills as a producer, writer and arranger can be heard on some of the biggest Italo hits ever including Azoto, Passengers, Taffy & Peter Richard. For disco fans his crowning glory was his work with studio band Tantra. Their much loved catalog has been out of print since their vinyl release. Disco Recharge is very proud to bring you this lovingly restored collection which features virtually everything recorded under the name 'Tantra. Disc One includes the first two albums in their entirety and ends on a spectacular note with the full Patrick Cowley remix of 'Hills of Katmandu'. This is not the unfinished version that has been widely available on vinyl for many years. This exclusive version actually features Patrick Cowley's trademark added synth's and percussion and is up there with his remix of 'I Feel Love' in the disco hall of fame. Disc Two features the final Tantra album as well as all the 7' and 12' mixes. Harmless.

CAMINO AL DESTINO (12" Mix) 6:43 (Spanish version of "Wishbone")9. TOP SHOT (The Double Remix) 6:5310. GET HAPPY (The Double Remix) 6:54All of Tantra's music resides in the deep shadow of their massively mind-blowing "Hills of Katmandu," yet there's more to hear and experience beyond that musical milestone. This 2-CD Disco Recharge collection gathers Tantra's music together for all eternity.Recorded in Italy in 1979, "Hills of Katmandu" crept slowly into the American club and music scenes in mid 1980 with a combined ultra-sleek sophistication and pounding, unmistakeable Euro-ness and entrancing musical mystique wholly its own. It's the quintessential genre-spanning song, bridging perfectly the death of disco with the emergence of Hi-Nrg, and flaunting the best of both eras. "Hills of Katmandu" is both retrospective and breathtakingly forward-reaching at the same time. There's little I can add to what's already been said and written about this epic track; I feel it should be absorbed on a personal level for its ability to transport and deeply affect.Tracks 3-5 play as a seamless medley, evolving from the Africanized chants of "Su-Ke-Leu" into the more familiar bass guitar-propelled, handclap punctuated gospel groove of "Hallelujah." "Get Happy" picks that beat up a bit. "Get Ready To Go" propels dancers back into the no-nonsense near-Eastern power established in "Hills." This song could/should have continued on and on. "Top Shot" is a straightforward guitar rock disco number, intended unapologetically for the dance floor. "Wishbone" disorients and sleeks it way under your skin like an irresistible opiate with repetitive rhythms, melodies and compelling and impenetrable lyrics receding, advancing and sweeping over listeners until all sense of time is lost, causing it to feel longer than it is, yet I want it to continue ever on. It's an under appreciated achievement. Patrick Cowley's legendary remix of "Hills" is here, and is an enjoyable revision but not as radical a reworking as what he created with Donna Summer's "I Feel Love."Disc 2 features what was released as the Tantra II album and a collection of edits, remixes and Spanish versions of Tantra's songs. "Macumba" moves assuredly along in an Afro-Carribbean spirit, while featuring an insistent 'timpani drums echoing at the bottom of a barrel' sound reminiscent of Giorgio Moroder's "Evolution." "A Place Called Tarot" takes a slower pace and explores more musical variations, swinging between eerie voodoo-ism and almost upbeat vocals and then into rough guitar. The disco mixes of "Hills" and "Wishbone" tease with their intriguing musical variations on the original versions but are too short; especially frustrating is the unexpected fade on "Hills." The two "Double Remixes" at the end of this disc are wonderful surprises, especially the sweaty, uncompromising, fully-leaded, leather-chapped, dancefloor-aimed amyl-drenched reshaping of "Top Shot." Turn it up, inhale and drift away...Thorough collection, excellent sound, revealing liner notes. An essential release for disco and dance fans. Thank you, Harmless and Demon.Listening to this music so many years after its initial release and in such tremendous quality gave me a deeper respect for its master, Celso Valli, and all the others who came together to create this unusual music - unusual then and unusual now. I appreciate the focus that propelled them to follow their vision and  instinct and record this incredible music, and especially for - forever more - the timelessly mysterious "Hills of Katmandu." Thank you.Superb.

It is simply not possible to give this cd anything less than the maximum five stars. It is just THAT good . It was in 1986 that I first came upon this recording. I was in a record shop in a side street off Avenida Atlantica , in Rio de Janeiro, South America. Browsing through their records, looking for some good music, I came across an lp recording with a bright red cover and one word name.....TANTRA. Up to that point in time, I had never heard of Tantra. As usual, I asked to hear some of it. The girl put the record on the turntable an it began to play. The precise moment the first few bars of the  16.20 minutes " THE HILLS OF KATMADU" hit my ears, I knew I was going to buy it. I ended up listening to the whole 16.20 minutes before buying it, knowing I would have to wait until my return to Sydney to hear the rest. I still have the lp recording, in perfect condition. But, I put all of my cd's onto iTunes as well as my best records. It was happy days when I discovered it on Amazon. It is now on my iTunes and the rest is history. This is a cd that you simply MUST have....no if's but's or maybe's. It is a recording not to miss, a recording you would die for.Get it, you won't regret it.

    Hands-down the best way to enjoy Tantra's criminally underrated music
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016*

After being disappointed by the lack of quality songs on Spotify and Youtube, I decided to buy this CD compilation and I am extremely glad I did. All songs are tastefully remastered to capture the pure energy that Tantra so expertly infused into all of their music. Much better than any vinyl rip on Youtube. And this collection is more complete than I could ever want; multiple rare versions and remixes for many songs that serve their own unique purpose. The 15 minute version of Ma-Cum-Ba is my favorite, with an impossibly funky bassline that rips through the middle of the song. Definitely a dance floor banger. And the updated Patrick Cowley remix of The Hills of Katmandu is modern enough for today's clubs while still keeping the spirit of Mr. Cowley alive. I could go on about every song, but you have to experience it yourself. If you are a dance music fan who is still debating whether or not this compilation is worth a purchase, trust me, it is.
