Cockroach - Get back (dub) (1983)

If you like John Lennon and Paul McCartney as well as Italo then you'll like this one.
This Italo-version with a fat synth-bassline and the nice female vocals has its roots back in 1969. Then it has been written by the two Beatles members. This here is the dub-version.

Xarion - Magical journey (1985)

This is a French production from the Mirage Studios on Teledisco Records, Paris. It's made by men with Italian sounding names (Tuzzio & R. Fassanelli). But I really can't find out more about this producers.

The sound remembers on well known tracks by Cyber People or Laserdance.

Gesaffelstein - The other (2008)

Gesaffelstein seems to be a German name but the truth is that this is a French DJ-producer from Paris and his real name is Mike Levy - now this also sounds not really French but English ... Kind of strange isn't it?

I like this new production with some space, house and italo elements.

Kraftwerk - Spacelab (1978)

Enjoy to listen to the real founder of minimal electronical and robotical sound with a track taken from their album "The man machine" - or German: "Die Mensch-Maschine".

Roni Griffith - Spys (1982)

Italo-Hi-NRG producer-god Bobby "O" is responsible for this gem. It's the B-side of the more known "(The best part of) Breakin' up". In my opinion this is more an A-side. Simply energizing.

Camaro's Gang - Move a little closer (1983)

"Hey, hey - hey - hey ...". Yeah, 1983!! This band comes from the Italodisco label Superradio Records run by Franco Scopinich who also is in projects like Sun-La-Shan for example.
This is a driving and uplifting Italo-bomb. I personally also like the B-Side of this vinyl - the Drive-Version that features the instrumental.

Starflight - Dancer (1984)

A production from the legendary "Gino Soccio". The disco producer king from Canada. One of his numberous projects.

Mr. Master - A dog in the night (1983)

A real Italo classic again. I only found the vocal version but I prefer the instrumental one.
