Pink Industry - Low Technology - 19-Mar-09 02:27 PM
"Low Technology" by Pink Industry sets the standards for perfect music. Previously known as Pink Military, the British band presents an album that has evoked so much of my time. I play a track off this record on my radio show almost every week, because its that good of an album. The best song in my opinion is "Enjoy The Pain", a killer new wave-minimal wave anthem with beautiful female vocals. I dont know if I am going out on a limb, but this might be one of the best albums of the minimal wave and synth-pop era in the 80s. Highly recommended for fans of New Order, Section 25, and Thick Pigeon.

Clio - Eyes - 11-Sep-08 08:02 PM
"Eyes" by Clio is a very sexy italo disco song. Gorgeous female vocals slapped on that wavvy synthesizer/drum programming is what makes me live for italo disco. I would put this release in my top 50 italo disco songs of all time, maybe even top 25. Its the perfect compliment to Clios other masterpiece, "Faces". I always listen to both back to back because they are both genuine italo disco gems. There is a break in the end of this song that is absolutely slamming and one of the best in all of italo disco universe!

Deborah Haslam - They Need A War - 11-Sep-08 07:53 PM
Deborah Haslam had several nice italo disco songs credited to her name in the 80s. This release from 2003 is actually a very beautiful italo dance song. It has a very soft and slow beat that made the italo dance genre quite unique and a great little brother to the italo disco genre. I will be the first to admit that this song is actually a fusion of italo disco and italo dance, as several other projects around 2003-2004 worked with this very unique fusion of the two genres. Haslam happened to release one of my favorite italo disco songs, entitled, "Let Me Trouble", but I definately think this song is very nice and special. Its not in any fine print, but this happens to be a war protest song, most likely of the USA invading Iraq in 2003. The Symar Mix is my favorite version and if youre a deejay who plays his or her cards right, you will be able to mix this one into an italo disco set.

Gazebo - Telephone Mama - 06-Sep-08 09:47 AM
The second album by Gazebo with lead-in song, "Telephone Mama" is special to me because of a little secret gem: "Solitaire". This is my favorite song by Gazebo and I am surprised it was never released on 12" as a single. Future releases by Gazebo were not always masterpieces, so to say, but this one definately is. This is a must-have album for italo disco lovers as this is the only place youll find the song "Solitaire" as it was never released even as a b-side.
