Heaven in Hell
Romeo and Desi love each other ... in their own way ... The irreverent Norberto Ramos' latest work is a black comedy about abuse, completely excessive like any good giallo, confit with the strange and gloomy sounds of the most bizarre and deranged synthesizers. A sort of Vangelis hangover after partying with Edgar Froese and John Carpenter at Georgio Moroder's house.
