The Flemming Dalum remix on ZYX is a stunning masterpiece. Once again he improved the original. He is a true master craftsman in a league of his own!- What a tune, never heard this until recently, they really are some undiscovered gems going under the Italo Disco banner. Totally agree with Magic00, this track defines all that is great about the genre. Super camp rolling bassline mix with garishly bright riffs and stabs, completely naff yet completely compelling. However whats especially excellent here is the double tracked male/female vocal - Wicked, Wicked, Wicked! The sleeve Artwork is top too of course, check it out!
Edited 17 years ago"Orient Express" by Wish Key is phenomenal in all ways. Watch the video and see the cordless synthesizer drop all the zig zagged lines to this song. How's that possible? And then you realize that Italo Disco is magic! And with the crowd cheering on and the background video playing, you know that this is Italo Disco music at its best. Discomagic was the biggest label and this here is one of its biggest releases of all. The 12" cover art shows that train shuffling thru the Orient. Hot cover art indeed! Hot beats! And a song that combines male/female vocals perfectly - I love this song and you know you do too!- Edited 17 years agoOne of the best italo-tracks i've ever heard. Great melody and excellent male vocals combined with a smashing beat. This is perfect listening to while you'r on a train! Classic. 5/5
- Edited 18 years agoA fantastic disco song, with an excellent melody and great lyrics. The different voices and synth melodies throughout the whole song works out great and makes this song one of the true disco classics. Together with "Last Summer", Wish Key's best song in their carriere.
