There is much more to this album than "Every Sunday" and "Telephone Operator." There are a lot of really great fusions like "Discomantic Rodeo" and "Arabian Nights."

It is a very imaginative but still very funky and accessible album.

For me it's on a level with Kraftwerk and YMO's best and feel it should be adored as such.

Another of those lost legends that make you wonder how it never got picked up by a larger label or re-released after all of these years.

"We Are The Crazy Gang" is a rather fabled release amongst Italo buyers due to its relative rarity. However, while overlooked in the 1980s, this Claudio Simonetti masterpiece has gained new recognition during the current Italo revival. The LP straddles the line between experimental electronic italo-disco and period specific Italian Funk. Standout tracks are "Every Sunday", "Computerize", and "In Love". There is a very diverse array of material on this LP that begs to be explored...
