But anway, I might even use the word "funky" if I get more excited than this. And I never use that word.

I'd fuckin die if I heard Wang or Geist do an unclassics mix live.
he's always on first whenever he plays london doesnt give him enough time to get deep into the mix.

on a similar (kinda) note:
Y'all need to own the Doctor's Cat album "Gee Wiz". It was on Soulseek yesterday, which is where I found it. It is an awesome Italo/plastipop album from beginning to end. Dan, when is this from? 1982?

yeah, most european sources i've consulted about this usually credit italo (ie the euro-poppier stuff) as "starting" in 1983 and that it ran out of steam by 1988 or so. i'm a fan of both the stuff that owes obvious influences to electro and kraftwerk and the like and then the hi-nrg candyfloss silver pozzoli/valerie dore-type stuff that came later (though i've found the quality tends to decline somewhat the more you go on - i guess sort of like what happened here ca. 1979, when there was just TOO MUCH DISCO being produced and most of it was just flooding an already over-saturated market) though i think my preferences are with records like "take a chance" (my favoritest italo record ever!) and doctor's cat and "spacer woman" and the like. and if these mixes are mostly that era stuff, i am going to have myself a goddamn field day!

i'm not a huge italo fan but i bet the second hand shops here would be a goldmine for rare italo stuff as a lot of this stuff sold by the tens of thousands.

Also, I need recommendations from Italo experts. My wife's birthday is fast approaching and this album is probably her favorite of all time. So is there any excellent Italo comps/box sets/reissues I should track down as a gift? She also has disco italia, which is a comp from a few years ago. But none other really.
