Sally Shapiro (from Sweden)

Has anyone downloaded vol. 2 yet? Not as many familiar names on that one.

(also, does anyone know if it's getting a physical release at all or if it's just through Paper Bag's mp3 shop?)

havent been able to get all of vol.2 yet, but i've heard the russian futurists and cfcf mixes because they're on a website already, can't remember the one. they're good mixes thou, the futurists mix is more like a cover version and the cfcf mix sounds like an old madonna tune, good stuff.

not sure about a physical release but on the paper bag site is says digital only so it might be just that

just heard "i'll be by your side today" and i guess i don't get it :/ sounds like by-the-numbers 80s electro dance with very thin, 60s french-style singing

it grew on me. there's a few better on the album than that tho - i like that remix of 'find my soul'.

blueski - the remix album grew on you or the disco romance album?

tracer hand - i have the north american version of the DR album with He Keeps Me Alive on it which is a highlight, you should check out that tune, it's a good one.

sounds like by-the-numbers 80s electro dance with very thin, 60s french-style singing

are people reading reviews leading them to believe that it is anything other than this? i mean, i personally really enjoy this album (it's one of the best indie-pop albums in a long long while) but people seem to be expecting it to be some big innovative blockbuster or something

^^^^

exactly what i was thinkin.

The Canseco's remix of "Hold Me So Tight" borrows heavily from the extended version of Electronic - "Getting Away With It".

ok! has anyone else heard it yet?! pitchfork and stereogum gave it some love today

well, the new Remix Romance Vol. 2 is out soon, I've heard it and it's different than Vol. 1 but is still really killer...iTunes is getting a different version on June 3rd, it has 2 more remixes added to it, here is the iTunes track listing:

what's happened to her?

she was remixed to death

She has a new album coming out. Probably this year.

more of the pretty good same

new single is great.

some of her producer's dj mixes are brilliant also.

hope the album has something that sounds like this

Wow I've never heard that^ before, but it sound so CLASSIC. I absolutely love it. I don't think Sally will ever top "He Keeps Me Alive" though. We'll see.

man the line between "pretty" and "putting me to sleep" is pretty thin for me

pssshhhhhh

popjustice twittering about how the album is amazing. anybody heard it yet?

She's worked with Tensnake on at least some of the tracks which makes me think it could be amazing. I'm hoping she ditches the italo and goes for the full-on widescreen, brightly-coloured Permanent Vacation sound. Although I haven't actually heard the single yet.

The thunderbolts-as-orchestra-hits in "Miracle" are so awesome. I don't expect the new album to be that much different from "Disco Romance", although from the tracks I've heard, the production job seem to be a bit more rich & detailed.

Bogdan irkuk remix of "Mirage" is quite amazing: http://audioporncentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/03-miracle-bogdan-irkuk-remix.mp3">=http://audioporncentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/03-miracle-bogdan-irkuk-remix.mp3

i trashed that link, didn't i?

new single: love in july

yeah the Irkuk mix is fantastic

Clips of the new album tracks are up on Amazon, which probably means the album has leaked...

Nothing really grabs my attention. Is it just me or is this already sounding kinda old (like, again)? I'm curious to hear the full version of "Moonlight Dance" though. That one doesn't sound bad at all.

It has leaked. And unfortunately, nothing except for "Let it Show" is grabbing me at all. Granted, I only really liked a few songs off of the first one, but at least on that one the other songs were not bad, definitely bearable. This one is for the most part skippable, at least for me.

Yes, I doubt I'll ever listen to this a second time. zzzzzzz

The limited to 20 cassette advance release sold out very very quick yesterday. Wouldn't have minded a copy of that :D

Digging the new album so far after one listen.

After a half dozen listens, now thinking My Guilty Pleasure is as amazing as Disco Romance.

This Miracle number is channelling Dubstar big time. Gotta hear the rest.

The remixes from My Guilty Pleasure are brilliant, Boat Club's take on "Swimming Through The Blue Lagoon" is early-90s sounding melancholy slow-motion disco excellence.

I actually kind of dig Johan's eurodance parody "Move That Barbabody"

Also great:

since hearing that Anoraak song a couple of days ago I've wanted to listen to nothing but.

or that was the case until 'He Keeps Me Alive' just rudely introduced itself to me and got all in my face as I sat home alone on Valentine's night.

anorak christmas is indeed amazing, one of maybe 3 sally shapiro songs i could not do without

The remixes from My Guilty Pleasure are brilliant

only just been checking these out but yeah i like the Bogdan Irkuk mix of 'Miracle' and Lo Motion Disco mix of 'Let It Show' in particular

when u feel so lonely in yr heart, i'll be by your side \(^o^)/

anyone got johann's album? casablanca nights it's called. just listening first time now and it's sounding nice. it's on spotify. collaborations with legowelt and lots of people i've never heard of. some sally stuff on there too.

I'm going to pick that up soon. In that vein I bought Anoraak's Whenever The Sun Sets the other day, it's really nice if a little forgettable. I like the way he and CFCF 'borrow' from other songs.

this was on one of the dj mixes johan did last year...really great tune:

I've been enjoying this track:

The whole Wolfram album is worth a listen if you are a SS fan. Lots of Hi-Nrg/poppy italo stuff, with an all-star list of guest spots by Legowelt, Sebastian, Hercules & Love Affair, Holy Ghost, Haddaway, Paul Parker, Patrick Pulsinger.

As in, the actual Haddaway

three months after thinking 'Don't Be Afraid' would be a passing obsession I'm still playing it to death.

Haha wow this Wolfram album is great! High quality cheese. And I haven't got to the Haddaway song yet.

Wow I love that Wolfram song. Is the whole album as good as that?

That Wolfram song upthread is technically a Holy Ghost! song (well, it's on their album). He certainly milks it on his own album btw, think it appears three times in various forms?
