Finally, Italians Do It Better released After Dark 2, the follow-up to 2007’s compilation on Friday (May 17). The 15-track collection features material from several acts associated with synth virtuoso Johnny Jewel — including Chromatics, Glass Candy, Desire, Symmetry, and Mirage, among others — and it’s on iTunes right now. Jewel previously shared one of Chromatics’ three contributions, the typically sleek “Cherry.” Fans looking for a second taste can sample Mirage’s nine-minute “Let’s Kiss” below. Robo-vocals, nocturnal atmospherics, and mechanical drums abound. Giorgio Moroder would be proud.
