Especial is delighted to present Phil Gerus to the label, with his personal ode to relationships, Still Blind. After acclaimed boogie, disco and italo tinged 12”s for the likes of Public Release, Superior Elevation, Leng and Sonar Kollektiv, here we present Gerus’ first solo full vocal performance - eschewing samples as a natural development.

A superb album featuring marvelous tracks – from bossa to pop-jazz – this original soundtrack also features a couple of tracks by Carlo Rustichelli; two dreamy, sensually vocalized melodies.
