Cheese alarm - but so tuuuuuune!!! Released on "Thick Record" - a sublabel of "Il Discotto Productions" - one of the best in Italo.

Powerful HiNRG-song from England. Always sought after and hot.

This is the second song by Betty Miranda written by R.(Romano) Bais who also arranged "Sunlight" by "M like Moon".

Betty Miranda - Take me to the top (1984)

These life performances at the Italian "Discoring" TV-show does always take me to the top ... hahahaha!!

Baby's Gang - Challenger (1984)

Funny video clip of a funny song!!! Totally 80s-style - hahaha ...

Styloo - Miss you (1984)

Second release after the bomb "Pretty face" from 1983. Doesn't reach the quality of the first song but although a nice one.

Charley - I can't love (1984)

The first and only 12inch ever released by this artist. Nice Italo-English vocals ;-)

Tobias Bernstrup - Midnight blue (2008)

Nice NuItalo track by this Swedish guy from Gothenburg with Miami Vice vibe.

Always highly recommended record. Here some surprising informations about Brian Auger you wouldn't really have expected - Discogs says:

Live performance by Den Harrow at the Italian TV-show "Discoring".



And here for your pleasure the 12inch version of this great gem:

Righeira - Vamos a la playa (1983)

Not posted yet - but not forgotten. The probably most famous and successful Italo song ever ... With official video-clip.

Silver Pozzoli - Around my dream (1985)

First and probably most successful single from Silvio "Silver" Pozzoli. Here the 7inch version and the original 80s video-clip. Nice to watch after all the years. Pure old school Italo style. Great!!

Miko Mission - Two for love (1984)

Third release of Miko after the great "How old are you" and "The world is you".

Kano - China star (1983)

One of the tracks from the amazing album "Another life". Classic tune!!

Mr. Pauli - Pick up the phone (2008)

For a change after all that classic Italo tracks here comes a production from 2008 by Ingmar Pauli. Very nice one in my opinion. Enjoy!

Cless - Extraterrestreally (1983)

As we were just at piano tones: here is another mostly unknown but wonderful title with some passages of piano and also of saxophone. I personally prefer the instrumental version on the B-side.

Shah - Serenade (1985)

A very smooth and romantic song with great piano and beautiful female voice.

Mirage - Just one more chance (1985)

Hey, you see it's my Mirage-day today. This one is my personal favourite of THIS Mirage: the powerful B-side of "No more no war".

Mirage - No more no war (1985)

This is the same Mirage as the post before. It has a peaceful message: No more no war!!

Mirage - Get down (1984)

This "Mirage"-project has nothing to do with the post of "Change your life". It's another Mirage but also a good piece of music.

Paul Sharada - Dancing all the night (1984)

Let's dance all the night to the saxophone ...

K. Barré - Right by the moon (1984)

Very catchy and uplifting!

Rofo - Rofo' theme (1987)

A late release of "Rofo" in its typical HiNRG-style. For my ears it's like an opener for a club-night of the 80s and the DJ is talking over the music and welcomes the guests.

November 6, 2010

Mozzart - Money (1987)

Power HiNRG-track which obviously has its basic idea from "Trans-X - Living on video".

Dollar, Yen, Deutschmark ...

Mike Cannon - Voices in the dark (1983)

Classic tune with some very funky guitar solo at 3:03. Enjoy!

Clio - Faces (1985)

Such a nice jewel of music. Wonderful.

Company B. - Fascinated (1986)

This song was a floor-filler back in '86 and was rocking the clubs all over. Here you can watch a live performance from 1987. Enjoy that crazy blue-artifical-leather outfits and the amazing white wigs.

J.D. Jaber - Don't wake me up (1986)

Timerider - Cocoon (1985)

The track is nice but nothing special. The only thing that's special is the man behind this production: Manfred Alois Segieth - or better known as "Fancy". There are always new surprises in this business ... :-)

Primadonna - Flashing on the floor (1984)

Typical sound with warm synths, a catchy melody and kind of strange female voice.

Peter Jacques Band - Drives me crazy (1985)

Oh my god - that drives me crazy!!!

Camaro's Gang - Fuerza major (1985)

This group has its roots in the amazing Superradio. The two founders of Superradio were Franco Scopinich & Venise and they were working together with lots of Italo-heros - for example Alessandro Novaga or Tony Carrasco. To play their own music in the radio they also founded their own record label: Superradio Records.

Fuerza major is a lovely piece of music they created.
