Here lies an amazing italo disco song that benefits very much so from the female vocals. Don't be fooled by the label - CGD isn't exactly 100% italo nor is it full of masterpieces the way Discomagic is. But by damn, this is a great little gem with some nice italo scratching throughout the track.

"Fire Lady" is the best italo disco song from 1987, bar none. It's also one of my favorite italo songs ever made! Some of the finest synth work is slapped beneath that sexy female vocalist named, Christal! The song was featured in the I ragazzi della 3°C tv series from Italy in 1987. I can't reccomend this production enough, it shall become the cult classic in many more minds one day. Until then, it's my little italo gem!

This is an excellent Italian trance release. The song has a very distinct sound heard by other popular Italo Dance-Trance artists of that time (Tony H, Mario Piu, and anything om BXR). Very nice male vocals and instrumental buildup here too!! "Roma Caput Mundi" never had a wide release so it's quite rare today, perhaps because it was in Italian and not English which wasn't the fad until 4 years later. Either way, this is an amazing song!

This is one of my favorite Italo Dance songs ever! I remember the summer of 2000 including this song many times over. "In The Sun" by Peepol has an amazing beat and excellent male vocals - honestly one of the finest Italo Dance songs in the year that Italo Dance truly shined. Their followup release, "Fun Fun Fun" is also a very nice song, but nothing tops this one. Very rare, so good luck with finding the 12" some 8 years later.

"Whistle's Song" by Mel Project featuring the voice of Tony is a phenomenal song and one of the best in the Italo Dance genre that occulted the world while enjoying success in Italy. I enjoy this song particularly for the quality use of the vocals as a main instrument in the song. Forget all the other 50 songs of the early 2000's that have "Whistle Song" as the title - this is the best one and is un-related to the others. This is pure Italo Dance and by far the best song on the NP label.

"Don't Miss The Bliss", the only song ever made by Pianola is one of my favorite Italo Dance songs ever made. It was released in 2001 on the Houzy Records label which was at the time, one of the best Italo labels out there. The song features amazing male vocals similar to those of Gabry Ponte when he was with Bliss Team. I wouldn't be surprised if "Don't Miss The Bliss" is an ode to the pioneer's of Italo Dance. Either way, this is a blessed song and is just as difficult to locate as some of the rarest Italo Disco 12 inches that are 20 years older than it.

"This Brutal House" is an early-on in the club/house genre and while other early 'house' songs preceded this one by a year or two, I'd say that Nitro Deluxe's 14 minute bomb throws down the apron as one of the best produced during that era. What allows "This Brutal House" to flourish is the way it expands on the oh-so-familiar house beat by actually adding some nice synthesizer work and wild vocals throughout. The last time I checked my 12" cabinet, I could name 100's of early acid house songs that play rip off, off each other to the point of boredom. Not for this song - this is definately a forerunner in my mind!!

"I Wanna Discover You" is one of the rarest Italo Disco releases on the Out Records label - and a very good one at that! This is a very gentle and soft song, reminding more of sound of some of Nicolosi's stuff as well or Valerie Dore. Here we have a very slow beat with gorgeous female vocals with a heavy Italian accent. I don't normally dig this end of the Italo Disco spectrum, but this song really does it for me!

"(The Ballad Of) Lone Ranger" isn't an alright song, but as the previous reviewer allan_k said, the b-side, "Chorus Girl" is a phenomenal song. The female vocals remind very closely to some of the best synth-pop vocalists in Europe of that time: Grace Jones, Berlin's vocalist, and even Blondie's Deborah Harry! As for the synthesizer work in this song - it's amazing! Correlating with the beautiful vocals, we hear the sounds building up all the way into the chorus of, "Hold on, hold on! Hold on, hold on!!" Finally, the drum machine work is also A+ in this song, intermittantly appearing throughout the entire song. "Chorus Girl" is an amazing and relatively unknown b-side Italo Disco masterpiece!

"On Fire" is an absolute masterpiece and one of my favorite italo disco songs ever made. I don't care when it was made, released, or re-released - the male/female vocals, the synthesizer's, and the drum machine are all evident and perfectly orchestrated into this song. The Caldo Mix at 8 minutes is by far the best version and the first 4 minutes will leave chills on your back everytime you listen and dance away! And while just about every song by Dyva is a gem, this is probably the best one of all, along with "Day After Day".
