Ashantis Mimesis - Disco Play Tu Grande Amore Mio

Review by Scott Greig

Album Review: Disco Play Tu Grande Amore Mio by Ashantis Mimesis Released in 1977, Disco Play Tu Grande Amore Mio by Ashantis Mimesis is one of those hidden gems that feels like it was plucked straight outta a vintage Italian dance floor. With its mix of Electronic and Pop vibes, plus dashes of Disco and Prog Rock flair, this album’s got a quirky charm you don’t hear every day. Released on the Joker label—yep, fitting name for something so playful—it’s an underrated slice of Italian music history. Let’s dive into two standout tracks because hey, who’s got time to talk about all of ‘em? First up, “Tu Grande Amore Mio.” This track hits you with this lush, emotional vibe right off the bat. The synths are dreamy, almost like they’re hugging your ears, while the vocals have this raw, heartfelt delivery. It’s kinda cheesy in the best way possible, like finding an old Polaroid pic you didn’t know you needed. You remember it because it sticks around in your head long after the needle lifts off the record. Then there’s “Disco Play,” which flips the mood completely. If “Tu Grande Amore Mio” is the slow dance at the end of the night, this one’s the chaotic groove that gets everyone moving awkwardly but happily. The bassline slaps hard (in a retro kind of way), and the rhythm has this hypnotic shuffle to it. There’s just enough weirdness in the arrangement to make you go, "Wait…is this still Disco?" Honestly, that unpredictability makes it unforgettable. What’s wild about this album is how it blends genres without overthinking it too much. It doesn’t try to be perfect—it just is. And maybe that’s why it works. Listening to it feels like stepping back in time but also discovering something totally fresh. Like, imagine sipping espresso in Milan while wearing neon roller skates. Weird combo, but somehow it clicks. Here’s the kicker though: I couldn’t stop thinking about how albums like this get lost in the shuffle. Back then, 1977 was all about big names dominating the scene, but now, decades later, we can appreciate the little guys who dared to experiment. So yeah, give Disco Play Tu Grande Amore Mio a spin if you’re into groovy oddities. Who knows? Maybe it’ll inspire you to throw your own disco-themed dinner party—or at least smile at how unapologetically itself it is.

Da una grande città,un gruppo forse poco valutato ma pieno di sinergia musicale ancora valida oggi, grazie Mimesis ricordi indelebili di quegli anni 70 trascorsi a Taranto...Forever
