Patience is a virtue, and an important one to have when listening to the debut solo album from Rome native Francisco. Though the first half of the disc is deceptively homogenous, rarely straying from the basic house format, a brief interlude called "Filmissimo" clears the mind and ushers in the second half of the album where Francisco shakes the 4/4 combination around a bit, revs up the synths, and adds a few well-timed vocals to finish things off. The end result is a fine patchwork of Chicago house and Italo-disco worth giving a listen.
