Each copy includes 2- sided postcard with lyrics, photos and notes designed by Eloise Leigh. Dark Entries Editions is proud to announce the next reissue in their series of rare Italo Disco club hits. Clay Pedrini is a musician and singer from Milan. He released his only single, "New Dream", in 1984 on Sensation Records. Despite his limited output, Pedrini proved himself to be a shining star of the Italo scene. Unfortunately, his career was cut short by a severe case of whiplash, but his fusion of analog keyboards and electronic trickery has stood the test of time. Clay had the idea for "New Dream" during a summer vacation. When he returned home and met up with his friend and fellow musician Manlio Cangelli, things began to develop. Influenced by Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk, together they wrote and recorded "New Dream" at B3 Studio in Milan in 1983. Arpeggios soar amidst cutting edge electronic percussion, but Clay's strong vocals take the lead on this tale of lost love and summer's end. The E-mu Drumulator, a sample -based drum- machine similar to the famous Linn Drum, was featured prominently. Additional electronic drums and keyboards were played by Massimo Costa, and backing vocals were done by Fulvio Monieri. The infectious chorus was sung by Lorella Ghilardi, the vocalist for Blue Russell, B. Rose, and Ella Morris. On the B -side there is an instrumental version with a mid-song breakdown and dubbed out chorus.
