Alden Tyrell ft. Fred Ventura - Memories (2008)

Old Italo legend meets NuItalo hero with a wonderful melancholic song. Remembers me on the good old times back in the 80s.

Panorama - War in love (instrumental) (1985)

Some time ago I introduced the vocal version of this song. Now I finally found the instrumental version I love so much. Full of memories.

Cosmic Metal Mother - I think ... (2007)

Another downtempo electro disco track that makes you floating all over. Pretty epic.

Very nice slomo gem to dream. There's an instrumental version of this song available on the B-side of the 12inch "Right" which is featured as the first track in "The Robot Scientists" very first mix of their legendary series "Musica da Batticuore".

Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force – Planet rock (instr.) (1982)

More electro hiphop classics - maybe that this style doesn't really fit to the blog but it was part of the biggest music era ever - the 80s - and I like it nearly as much as Italo so I think it's also worth to be mentioned within here.

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - White lines (1983)

No words necessary ...

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The message (1982)

... and because I'm in the old school electro mood at the moment here comes an absolutly classic everybody knows.

DMX Krew - That wild & freaky robot funk (2011)

WOOOOOW!!! Old school electro vocoder funk like 25 years ago. Love this so much. I also like the A-side of this 7inch called "Funky dancer" which I couldn't find on youtube yet.

Pete Herbert & Golden Fleece - Ivory waves (2011)

This is a mixture between late 80s/early 90s piano house sound and a spacefly to the stars. Enjoy!

Gabe Catanzaro - Polyphonic (2010)

To make the "Long long way from home" EP complete I'm gonna present you the last of its five tracks. This one also sound pretty retro-italo like.

Gabe Catanzaro - The metal man (2010)

This song shows that Gabe Catanzaro not only can play Italo but also light sounding cosmic tunes.

Gabe Catanzaro - Two for the night (2010)

This is another beautiful NuItalo track from the "Long long way home"-EP.

Gabe Catanzaro - Monster in the dark (2010)

The EP "Long long way from home" came out first as a digital release in 2010 and then in 2011 as a 12inch. This song is one of the track of this EP and represents a typical massive Italo bassline and vocals by Tobias Bernstrup.
