Italo disco from 1979, Azoto’s Disco Fizz gets straight down to business with the fast-paced, poppy “Firefly,” its rubbery synth bass and ticking 4/4 kickdrum anchoring a melody and chord progression that lingers on the very edge of twee. Next up, “Anytime Or Place” features wonderfully pulsating sequenced synths locked in with disco bass and guitars topped off with unabashed pop vocals. There’s no pretence here, this is unselfconsciously cheery, positive music, the peaks and troughs of its five lengthy tracks all engineered for the dance floor experience. “San Salvador” is the most well-known track here, a percussion-heavy, horn-laden euphoric euro-disco epic that pitches sophisticated orchestration against a lightweight female chorus, with a Latin feel that can still tear a dance floor up if played at the right moment.
