Phantasy transports back to 1982 for a faithful reissue of the highly sought after 'Fools Are Friendly' from Xclusiv, carefully re-mastered from the original tapes. The alias of sisters Karen and Maxine Berlinski, Xclusiv emerged inconspicuously from the London borough of Croydon with a sophisticated vision of cosmic disco pop, linking the suburbs with Soho's neon-tinted nightlife. Decades later, and in close collaboration with the sisters, this highly sought-after record arrives lovingly reissued by Phantasy in it's original, sensuous form.Originally self-released on Le Maitre Music, a record label spun-off from their family-run fireworks and pyrotechnics company, 'Fools Are Friendly' has the irresistible sense of a radio hit that never was. A brilliant DIY reflection of the disco and soul that dominated the charts of the time, it's glossy, primitive electronics echo the synth experiments of Giorgio Moroder or Didier Marouani, pioneers that were transforming pop music.The extended mix provides an overture to the sisters' twinned vocals, unfolding with delectable disco drama. In contrast, the Instrumental Mix let's the record's blend of elements truly breathe, a synthesized version of Xclusiv's irresistible vocal hook holding court between timeless arpeggios and subtle modulation.Tracklisting:A. Fools Are Friendly (Extended Mix) B. Fools Are Friendly (Instrumental Mix)
