Geir's #8 at the top of the thread (Don't Cry Tonight - Savage) is also track #1 on Chris Lowe's half of the Pet Shop Boys' Back To Mine. Track #2 on the same CD (Take A Chance - Mr Flagio) is also mentioned a couple of times upthread.

that's AMAZING. Take a Chance is the ultimate vocoder song, so wonderful. For those not familiar, it's a cover an almost as good Material w/ Nona Hendryx song.

funny they'd include Passion by the Flirts considering their historical problems with Bobby O.

But also Celestial Choir, Carl Bean, Roedelius?!?! That's pretty hip.

No wonder the PSB love "Passion". It sounds exactly like "In The Night".

daavid, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 04:45 (eighteen years ago)

it's not much of a wonder, Bobby O produced the original version of West End Girls, but they had a falling out.

I just got this one... I think it's from Canada and not Italy, but it certainly sounds like Italo. And holy shit, what a tune! This is probably the best sci-fi disco tune I've ever heard, alongside Cerrone's "Supernature".

Tuomas, Thursday, 3 March 2011 20:38 (fifteen years ago)

In fact it seems there were several Canadian disco artists in the late 70s/early 80s with an Italo-like sound: Kebekelektrik, Gino Soccio, Kat Mandu, Lime, The Immortals, etc. Does anyone know if there was some kind of a Italo-influenced scene in Canada back then?

Tuomas, Thursday, 3 March 2011 20:41 (fifteen years ago)

The mid-to-late 80s Canadian synthpop scene was kind of Italo influenced too, no? I mean, Men Without Hats, Kon Kan, Trans-X etc.

Thanks for the blog link, Jaxon, I'd been wondering about the Canadian disco scene, so that was interesting read.

Tuomas, Friday, 4 March 2011 10:45 (fifteen years ago)

That Plustwo track above is definitely my jam of the week.
