Sending 70
Gomma
Release Date: 5/13/05

The press release for Sending 70, from Munich-based artist Hiltmeyer Inc., describes the music as "Pornotrance from outta space." I contend, however, that pornstars are much more likely to be found rockin' out to heavy metal tribute bands at Paladino's in Tarzana (where, in fact, Kid C. and I did spot quite a few Adult Film Personalities whilst checking out Iron Maidens many moons ago) than dancing to the electro-funk-disco-whatever beats on this 10-song CD.
However, there are a few tracks on here ("Pornhaus" and "70erJack," for example) that have an updated Boogie Nights-funk thrust, sort of like the Chakachas after taking so much E that having sex is kind of impossible so it's all really heavy groping. Much of the album, though, seems inspired by Italo disco, complete with the synthetic-sounding strings and Space Mountain effects. The album is almost completely free of vocals, save for a bit of beat boxing on "Finalahh." That said, it's fairly easy to get lost while listening to Sending 70, just let your mind catch a beat and the whole album will play before you realize how much time has lapsed.
