Ajello's "Smells Like Too Cheesy" is the infamous italo- nu-disco duo's second album after "Spasm Odyssey". We'll let Danny do the talking:
"I know the Ajello guys for years now... even if i met him only during the early Ajello days I "discovered" Fabrizio Tavernelli (aka Taver) first, almost 20 years ago on April 25th... he was the leader/singer of a band magnificently called A.F.A. - acid folk alleanza, that day he had an indian headdress that rivals Jamiroquai to death.

Around 2003 when Electroclash was the rule, the two figures joined forces to form AJELLO, a studio project heavily inspired by italo disco and new wave... after 8 years of working together, they are worldwide dubbed as italo nu-disco dons having released music on every cool discoey label on planet earth, re-edited the most impossible hard to find records, remixed the imaginable.Smells Like Too Cheesy has a definitive 80s approach, 12 songs that see Ajello compositional skills to join the vocals of some of our past and present disco heroes: from the legendary Krisma to italo-disco timeless icon Fred Ventura trough the interplanetary XXL disco diva of the XXI Century Hard Ton..."
