italian house, sometimes dreamy, of the early 90s

Yeah that'll be it, cheers

just saw this has been reissued

A lot of this stuff is too tasteful for me. I prefer the cheesier, hands-in-the-air stuff. This one is dreamy and just slightly embarassing. Really bold melody and angelic (you'll see) vocals.

devastated to discover that Youtube user pepsimaxoldskool (aka the person who uploaded all the best examples of this) seems to have had their account terminated :(

Is Last Rhythm too obvious? For me, time does not dilute its beauty

English not Italian, but the rules said you could have 3 foreign players

Only just checked out vol III of the Welcome to Paradise series which covers 90-94. So lovely.

Oops, meant to post this one

Vol. 1 is still my favorite back-to-back but the other two are great, too.

YM has just released Planet Love Vol. 1 on Safe Trip

perfect music for these hot humid days

the most correct I have ever been

Planet Love Vol 1 is exceptional, between this and the Virtual Dreams compilation on Music From Memory I feel like I want to be blissed out dancing on a beach

^got it at the local record shop today, it is sounding fantastic in my garden :)

Cheers for that Planet Love rec

Also got a bit of a Northern Exposure feel to it

Oo, it's got These Waves on it. Sold.

this compilation from this year looks cool: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Ciao-Italia-Generazioni-Underground/release/19120840

These are fun but I almost prefer the cheap DFC compilations which don’t remove all the traces of cheese and vocals and ridiculous sound effects & such … not to be a purist but I feel like I don’t just want to hear melodic transcendence at such a rapid pace

I feel like a lot of this stuff is cheesy in a different way - sentimental and grand rather than hands-in-the-air. These big emo chord pads are designed for ecstasy moments.

I think as well when you listen to a compilation of this stuff in one sitting it's great as a vibe, there's so much textural opulence - but this stuff wasn't designed to be consumed that way, these are dance music singles which are meant to interact and react to other stuff played around them. Something like "Kiss Me (Don't Be Afraid)" can sound dreamy and sensual, but pitch it up and play it inbetween other vocal stuff and it feels more like a crossover moment.

So. Planet Love Volume 2 came out a couple of months ago and it's every bit as good as Volume 1

did this get a mention here? the VENGABOYS go italo dream house, it's the last track on that one fucking album with all the hits, legit banger though tbh:

Vengaboys - Paradise...

and i'm not being ironic either, last half of that is purest bliss

Bellissimo!

Random find?

no I would never have even thought of checking a venga record for good tracks! rufdug played it on his nts show a couple of weeks back. there is a promo 12" of it, but it goes for a bit more than you'd expect a vengaboys record to normally go for, so I think the magic digger elite already knew about this one. weird though eh? not sure how the vengabros worked but maybe this was ghostwritten by a more recognised name in the genre?

Even better at the wrong speed

bloody hell, does the vengabus still operate a service and what time's the next one due?
