On &#8216;Dromomania,&#8217; he pairs the simplicity of &#8217;70s Kinks with the randomness of The Residents and a good dose of Captain Beefheart, topped off with influences that range from third-wave hardcore to Neu-like trance rock.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the release of &#8216;Nothing In Rambling,&#8217; Albertini started recording new material at his home studio. After nearly finishing a new full-length album, a computer meltdown occurred and the entire album was lost. After a long cry, Albertini accepted the loss and moved on to write and record a completely different album: &#8216;Dromomania&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>However, through a bit of luck and hard-drive-wizardry, Albertini was eventually able to recover the &#8220;lost album&#8221;&#8230;and Joyful Noise is including the entire LP as a bonus 12&#8221; with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com\/products\/dromomania-vip?mc_cid=c48c205c9a&amp;mc_eid=8ff842935a\" target=\"_blank\">VIP edition vinyl<\/a> (ltd to 500).
