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

(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

Luca Coveri - Do It Again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDhMBjUXbs0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL756WTn7oU

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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kWxEcNTmBU

Did I ever post this? Majestic mid-tempo wonder that showed up again on my ipod this week. (Vocal version is nowhere as good.)

Nathaly Marion - Jennifer Planisphere (Instrumental)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-2lfUbS6Ug

New one on me. Very nice instrumental! Vocal is a totally different arrangement isn't it.

Another cool one:

Sahara Band - Habibi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG8L4omZSUI

The instrumental is actually Italo Disco Samba (!)

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

Love that, and sounds like that is that a Casio RZ-1 as used by Steve Poindexter?

Gill, do you have a good rip of that A-side?

is that a Casio RZ-1?

Not a Casio RZ-1 (I used to have one of those). That machine didn't come out until about 1986 and this says 1983 on the label. It sounds to me like an Oberheim, either a DX or DMX.

Thanks Dubmill! Should have done some basic research first :)

How lucky are we that all this is on YouTube?

In the US maybe, half of these aren't available in the UK.

agh i hate trying to learn anything from discogs, they know all about the sick cvlt italo jams but see if you can navigate the site to find out what they are.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGfN6_cuvuo

'Never Dreaming Man' is certainly up there with the best of the mangled English titles!

My current Italo crush, might be too late for some people, but it’s got so much energy, and who wouldn’t be charmed by the whoa-oo-oh-ooo bits?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI-C4Oz4_1U

It’s also on our most recent radio show: https://www.mixcloud.com/MirageRadio/04-june-17-mirage-classix/

nice one!

Making my way through the I Love Disco Diamonds series...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlqC4-Ih-So

Oh yeah, love that one.

Found by accident, but I love it:

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

On I Love Disco Diamonds volume 16...

A big fave this one. Those synth animal roars are all time.

been loving this one all summer - there's an english-language version as well (titled 'break up') but i like the italian better:
