Artist: Charlie
Title: Spacer Woman
Product Type: 12-INCH SINGLE

The next 12 in Dark Entries Editions is the Italo Disco dance classic "Spacer Woman" by CHARLIE. Formed in 1983 as an experiment to break the mold of the classic disco dance sound, Charlie was the vehicle for musician and producer MAURIZIO CAVALIERI who had found fame with Italian disco group FIREFLY. Cavalieri had been listening to the new crop of UK Synthpop and New Wave like Depeche Mode and Heaven 17 and wanted to create a more electronic, futuristic sound. He recruited his friend GIORGIO STEFANI to help write the song and compose lyrics. "Spacer Woman" was recorded in Vicenza, Italy and released by Cavalieri's own Mr. Disc Organization in 1983. The track features the signature Italo Linn Drum machine as well as the Roland TR-808 and a Yamaha DX7 for the arpeggiated synthesizer melody. "Spacer Woman" spans over seven-minutes and features the spaced-out vocals of Stefani's wife, who sings through a vocoder. The single has become a cult revival track since it's appearance on the legendary I-f mix CD Mixed Up In The Hague in 2001. This reissue also features the sought after instrumental mix where the sharp synthesized bassline really comes to the forefront. Both songs have been remastered for vinyl by GEORGE HORN at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. For the first time ever, the 12" is housed in a silver, metallic picture sleeve with an android female model drawing, taken from the original 7" jacket. Each copy includes a 2-sided post card insert with lyrics. Eerie and unforgettable more than 30 years later, "Spacer Woman" is the ideal robotic space-age love song.
