La musica si muove appena: The ILM ITALO Poll (Results Thread)

the vocal on "Pink Footpath" reminds me of

i scored a copy of "feel the drive" that i found hiding in a record store's hip hop 12" section... came back to the same shop 2 weeks later and they had a copy with the PICTURE SLEEVE (for only a few bucks more than what i paid for one w/ the generic sleeve) and i cursed myself for buying it too soon

Two copies is the answer.

I've started doing a monthly Italo radio show: https://www.mixcloud.com/MirageRadio/

NY based italo fans, I'm djing for the first time in ages this thursday, lots of italo will surely be played, probably Plastic Mode included:

this one is weird but i kinda love it - HE'S JUST A YOOO-YOOO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pa1Hv6AYT0

Top tune.

In the last version of our Mirage radio show I decided to take a late 90s techno approach to Italo (with a bit of other disco) and play about 15 tunes in about half an hour from about 55 minutes in. https://www.mixcloud.com/MirageRadio/mirage-radio-6th-august-the-one-where-matt-did-89-80-in-30-minutes/

Song ID help... what is at minute 13 in this mix? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_CD6LE36Ec

'Yeti' by Radiorama:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2uRvt5WJZo

thanks a lot

And I'm an idiot, the track listing is on the video.

This wasn't nominated, but I am just discovering it, and it's so awesome.

De-De-Mo - ''Cause I need you, 'cause I love you''

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK8mjXG3r1U

Very fine tune ^ Like the video too.

Here’s the latest Mirage radio show we did. Mainly italo with a sprinkling of other pieces, some of the tracks sound a bit distorted for the first half an hour because of a dodgy deck which we managed to change over after some faffing around. https://www.mixcloud.com/MirageRadio/mirage-radio-03-sept-falling-in-love-with-this-crazy-family/

obsessed with the synth hook on this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H2bflLx3tk

(Radio Movie - "Search")

Lovely track. Like the breakdown in the middle a lot.

This is a recent discovery for me, Talko - Psyko Flash

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fqx0vaku1Q

Wow! Don't know that one but I've been playing this one for years:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rjgPtf3lmM

Talko was probably first

I’d not heard that one before, nice track too, a bit of a daytime vibe to it. I wonder how we could find out who was first.

i really underrated "another life"... what a song.

Great contrast in the vocal style from other italo.

'Pagaia' by Tony Esposito - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK9k81cvWsA

This just popped up in my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify. I dunno if this is exactly the right place for it as it lacks a lot of the common elements that you might expect from Italo Disco but it's 80s and it's Italian and goddamn! it's SO FUCKING GOOD and I needed to post it somewhere

I just discovered this and it's amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFhSJ1KLd3k

pretty sure I put that one in my top 5.

Some of these records are insanely expensive on discogs. You know there are all sorts of people with collections full of this stuff who think it's junk that nobody would ever want...

this is what prompted the previous comment: http://www.discogs.com/sell/release/2428673?ev=rb http://www.discogs.com/Babys-Gang-Challenger/release/203601

The thing I still keep finding after 3 years of seriously buying italo is that among all the expensive records I can still discover gems for a couple of pounds.

Here's the last show HP Sorcery and I recorded live on 1 Brighton FM https://www.mixcloud.com/MirageRadio/radio-mirage-3rd-december-where-is-your-harbour/

I wonder if he means just the one?

TIBOR LEVAY - Gipsy Boobie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQzomx4fNoQ

really wish i'd nominated and/or voted for this, such an earworm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9NiWCV-Kw4

My latest discovery, Parsifal - Carillon:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJH0KJdLtls

Nice one

Yeah, great track!

that's a reliable favorite

New to me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8wVMC6Bytw

Amazing find, skip!

Nice track.

There is tons of good stuff on that guy's youtube page. Someone had to listen to all 50 I Love Disco Diamonds discs...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcFQXhAYZng

Another song called Carillon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKCgxqPWyY4

Spacey extended Italian Disco cut that's hitting me hard lately. It's proto-italo like Black Devil Disco Club is, I guess.

Cento - Photochrome Pt.1 & Pt.2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooQdxCPFSl0

Lovely.

this is from 1986 and super corny but I love it

looked this thread up cause livin' in your love came up on shuffle today and it outro is the greatest thing ever.

happy to find out a bunch of new shit had been posted since i last looked, do it again is great!

the amount of italo i listen to is limited (which apparently means i only have like five hours of italo in my library), but here's one i like:
