Review by Aline Lourena

Looking Back by Jason Ames: A Time Capsule of Early 2000s Italodance Vibes If you’re a fan of electronic music with that dance-pop twist, Looking Back by Jason Ames is one of those albums that feels like stepping into a neon-lit time machine. Released in 2002 under J & Q Records (Italy’s hidden gem for dance beats), this record doesn’t just play—it pulses, throbs, and occasionally whispers sweet nothings to your feet. With tracks like “Looking Back (Mavors Mix)” and “Looking Back (Get-Far Mix),” it’s hard not to get swept up in its retro-futuristic charm. Let’s start with the obvious standout: “Looking Back (Mavors Mix).” This track hits differently. It opens with this lush synth line that feels like someone dipped nostalgia in glitter and threw it at your speakers. The beat builds slowly, teasing you until BAM—you’re hooked. By the time the vocals kick in, you’re already imagining yourself on an Italian club floor circa 2002, surrounded by people who somehow know all the moves without ever practicing. There’s something about how the layers build; it’s intricate but never overdone, leaving enough room for your imagination to fill in the blanks. Honestly? I remember this track because it makes me want to move even when I’m sitting still—a rare feat these days. Then there’s “Looking Back (Get-Far Mix).” If the Mavors Mix is the moody older sibling, this one’s the life of the party. It’s punchier, faster, and unapologetically fun. You can tell Fargetta—the producer—had a blast tweaking this version. The bassline has this infectious bounce that worms its way into your brain and refuses to leave. And let’s not forget the drops—they’re perfectly timed, like little surprises wrapped in shiny paper. Listening to this mix feels like catching up with an old friend who hasn’t changed a bit since high school. Comforting yet exhilarating. What really ties this album together are the credits. Andrea Maggio’s concept work shines through every note, while Luigi Brigida’s writing adds depth to the melodies. Even the graphics by La Fenice give off that early 2000s vibe—minimalist yet bold. Hats off to Alberto Conti for the photography too; his shots capture the essence of what this album tries to evoke: freedom, movement, and a touch of mystery. But here’s the thing about Looking Back: it’s more than just another Italodance relic. It reminds us that music isn’t always about perfection—it’s about connection. These tracks might sound dated now, but they carry a certain authenticity that modern productions sometimes lack. They remind you of simpler times when dancing was less about Instagram likes and more about losing yourself in the moment. And honestly? That’s kinda beautiful. So if you stumble across this album, don’t hesitate. Give it a spin. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find yourself looking back fondly on the first time you heard it. P.S. Fun fact: Did you notice the names behind the scenes? From A.Bulichelli to Leonardo Pellinacci, this project reads like a who’s who of Italian creativity. Makes you wonder… could any of them have guessed their work would still be talked about two decades later? Probably not—but hey, here we are!

Più conosco il passato e più rimpiango il presente :( è strano come oggi in discoteca si apprezzi un genere molto meno melodico di questo genere, certo che andare a ballare prima nel 2000 / 2002 era tutta un'altra cosa, come vorrei essere nato come dj in quei tempi, per poter passare questa musica in disco! peccato :(
