Naolin Gaspari, the “nom de guerre” of Alexandre Lanzalavi, is a force to be reckoned with. The delightful twists and turns of his compositions bring one from intense focus to breathless anticipation of the next chord. Suitable for chilling, driving, dancing or just plain listening, Kiss Me Goodbye is a deep, thumping, feel good exclamation to the universe.

The bass drives but doesn’t push; the rhythm is intricate but not complicated; the melodies are clear and concise…and the effects are balanced with harmony, not too much, not too little. The man is a master of mood. I dare you to listen to all four cuts and not crack a smile somewhere.
