Dark Entries Editions is honored to celebrate the 30th anniversary 'Dancing Therapy' by International Music System, often abbreviated as I.M.S. In 1983 Maurizio Cavalieri and Giorgio Stefani, the same musicians who brought you 'Spacer Woman' by Charlie, created International Music System in Vicenza, Italy.  

Under this moniker, the two would release a pair of albums of stylized and syncopated electronic dance songs showcasing the still-evolving advancement of computer and keyboard-generated music.

'Dancing Therapy' was released as a 12' single in 1984 on the Cavalieri's own Mr Disc Records.  It utilized the Roland TR-808, Yamaha DX7 and Linn Drum as the main percussion. Giorgio would hit the two sides of a metal triangle with a drum stick, creating the high pitched tone break throughout the song.

Guest vocalist Rebecca McLain, an American ballet dancer, sings about getting lost in music as a means to escape from your troubles. The single anticipated the beats and sounds of Freestyle music as well as influencing the early House scene due to radio airplay on Chicago's WBMX.

On the B-side is 'Love Games', an electro dance song with breakbeats in the vein of Afrika Bambaataa that features Giorgio on vocals. Both songs are remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley.
