Cyber People - "Void vision"Koto - "Dragon's legend", "Chinese revenge" and "Japanese war game"Kano - "Another lover"Ken Laszlo - "Hey hey guy" (which is really actually fucking twisted lyrically)Radiorama - "Desire"Scotch - "Delirio mind"
'84-'86 style. All bombast and drama. Like if you take all the strings-y bits and overblown 20-minute concept EPs from disco (that were never part of any trendy revival) and execute them with synthesisers and sci-fi, you get this type of italo.
The tasteful stuff is all well and good and fine for indie-rock revivalists but italo can also be like the happy hardcore of disco.

if you're there, the track I was talking about a while back, I found it out, remember I mentioned about an italo track with a phone ringing in it and thought it was one of the great tracks ever:
ken lazslo, 'hey hey guy'

i LOVE "lancelot"! and i'm encouraged that the rest of her medieval stuff is great too :)
oh by the way, anyone who has ever posted to this thread needs to check out http://disco80.ru IMMEDIATELY - it's all in russian but if you feel around for awhile you'll find a link to full clips of italo disco music videos that are simly indescribable. i highly recommend the dschinghis khan performances and scotch's "mirage (la luna)" video as well (a melange of all the cheesiest possible '80s video techniques).

My favo track at the mo is: Torrevado "Living in the shuttle"The guy's English is just hysterical!
LIIIIVIIIING IN DA SHAAAATLLE!
Radiorama are also great for poor English. Check their "Aliens". They make it sound like "AHHHHLIENS".
also, I got a video of this Italo-piss take:
Zlad! "Elektronik supersonik"
I don't know who this guy really is, but it's fucking brilliant!

Gucci (yes, that Gucci) and Frieze collaborate on an italo disco fantasy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp7pE0k5BBQ
"The film imagines a universe where mid ’80s New York runs riot for the latest italo releases and Campari fountains are installed by Presidential decree. It presents the genre in all its glamour and artifice, celebrating its anonymous stars who sang in borrowed English under invented American names."
