So Who In KVR Likes Italo Disco?

[TVD]

And name some artists from this genre that I should know about.

[Timfonie]

I do to some degree. Even thought many of them sound terribly cheesy or crappy I somehow enjoy them.

This one stands out far above the rest, it's a class apart:



These are also enjoyable (most of them well known):











Oh, and don't forget Arksun's Solar Revolution!
(or Mulperi's Running)

[osiris]

Try :
Fun Fun - Color My Love (The song and the whole album if you can find it)
Radioactive - Under My Thumb (Yes, the Rolling Stones song. I doubt you'll be able to find this, but I still shake my car with it.)
Thanya _ Freedom
Joe Yellow - Lover To Lover
Anything by the group Lime
Meccano - Activate My Heart
Modern Talking - You're My Heart, You're My Soul
The Twins - Face To Face
Vivian Vee - Give Me A Break & Remember (Don't get the crappy remake of Give Me A Break)


Just a few I was privileged enough to pay $15.00 back in the day for the import 12".

[KungKrille]

[tapper mike]

Electribe 101

[Timfonie]

Try :

Anything by the group Lime

Ah, yes, Lime, exemplary for the synthpop italo disco style.

Some radio stations are 100% dedicated to italo disco, like
Fantasy Radio and Radio Stad Den Haag (Dutch).

[osiris]

Lime were also synth pioneers.
Search out:
Your Love
You're My Magician
Babe, We're Gonna Love Tonight
I'm very surprised to see on Wiki that they released the single : 'The Break' under the name Katmandu. This was a groundbreaking record when it came out. I still listen to it.
Wiki also says they are from Canada.

[Polybius]

The only Italo Disco song i know of and like is a song called "Spacer Woman" by Charlie.

[penguinfromdeep]

I like more the 'leftfield' italo disco from that era. Not the obvious stuff, but exactly things like the above 'Spacer Woman' by Charlie. Some others:

BWH - Livin' up
BWH - Stop
Casco - Cybernetic Love
Mr. Flagio - Take a Chance
Decadence - On & On
Lectric Workers - Robot is Systematic
Wanexa - The Man from Colours
Expansives - Life with You

Don't stop - Time
Somebody - Video
Theme from Flexyball - Flexx

Den Harrow - Mad Desire

Tenax - Dianma Est
Le Louvre - Diana Est
Marmo di Città - Diana Est
Don't Cry Tonight - savage

[himalaya]

Oh noes, that song is not Italo Disco by a long shot!

I always loved this one (amongst many others)
Fun Fun - Happy Station

Just listen to it, don't watch the video seriously.

Trans-X for a more raw sound:


Digital Emotion - Get Up ( a rip off of Funky Town?)

[himalaya]

Only You - Savage

Oh the memories...really liked Savage.
