Quite taken by this very Chic-like tune at the moment - think they were Italian, same people who did the Electric Mind records:

I just discovered this song. Not a deep cut or anything, just something new to me. It's now my favorite ever. The melancholy bridge. Great video too. There's an extended frankie knuckles edit on youtube.

Patrick Cowley's low-budget-sounding instrumental version of "I Feel Love" seems as much organ as synth, anyway thee former stands out, in a soulful way, highlighting latent Latinate tints of original, and might even be a Farfisa, of 60s Top Forty fame, kind of a Paradise Garage punk effect---on Some Funkettes EP of prev. unreleased 70s tracks, and seems like the sassy finale, "Spiked Punch Dub," is also thread-relevant (as is whole thing, prob., but these two jumped on me right away, and stayed here). See what you think:https://patrickcowley.bandcamp.com/

Valle is an all-timer, from his bossa stuff through the high concept 70's stuff to the boogie era. Saw him live at a Jazz club in London playing with Azymuth and it was one of the greatest concert experiences I've ever had. By the end of it everyone got off the tables and started dancing around despite the lack of space.

So now that mainstream ILM has expressed its undying love for Van Halen and Cyndi Lauper in the Best Songs of the 80s thread, I’d be interested in seeing some lists of POV or POX for specific subgenres, like top five boogie songs from 80s, top five Italo disco cuts, or your top ten post-disco jams. Feels like if it’s worth doing then it’s worth doing well so I should put in some effort if I’m going to make a list, and not just post the first five songs that pop into my head. Any interest here?
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Monday, 27 September 2021 14:19 (two years ago) link
POX/POV stands for... pick only 10 / pick only 5? i could go for that

Moka I respect your intent but this is basically how most attempts to initiate non-popist discussion on ILM die now. Anyway I’m still not sure when peak boogie was (was it actually the 70s?), I should probably look into that. Meanwhile research for italo would involve me checking into Reddit, our sub had quite a good run of italo for a while which I should review for the sake of completeness, but I’ve been avoiding Reddit for almost all of this year and given the way things were going last time I checked, I have some anxiety that the admins there have already taken the sub from me and handed it over to the white supremacists or whatever. TMI I know but the tl:dr is that I’m not ready to face the wall of Reddit bullshit to look into italo yet. Hence I will work on my list of top five post-disco tracks. Would it cause great offense if I tried to pass some new wave off as post-disco?
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Sunday, 3 October 2021 17:00 (two years ago) link
Not like there was tremendous interest to begin with although I do greatly appreciate Davey’s input. Still I probably should have just kept my crappy bickering over tactics to myself, soz.

Jazz funk greats, even. It is quite good although as the name of that Throbbing Gristle LP implies, jazz funk was not exactly an unknown commodity in pop of this era. That first tune in particular is a powerful performance. (Although impossible for me to tell if they’re lip syncing in the video — I can’t even tell if the bass is plugged in.)I mostly just knew their song I.O.U. of which I’m fond of the I Dub U version.
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Sunday, 3 October 2021 18:41 (two years ago) link
Right now I’m really loving the Bronski Beat version of I Feel Love but maybe not quite goat material. What’s most striking is the mashup with haunting 60s pop song Johnny Remember Me. Sublime. But still not best of decade.

Loose Ends also premiere quality obv. Murphy’s Law is quite a track, sounds like a shuffle beat.Time To Throw Down is another exceptional jam, that’s what I think of as peak boogie, rather than some point in the late 70s. Brimstead trying to rein it in to the thread topic here? Plz to disregard any tangential musings on my part.
