Live Fashion - Bicycle Song

Lively Live Fashion with their Italo ode to the joy of bike riding. It's been a while since I've let the soft wind blow into my face, but this song captures the essence. 2 wheeled motion...




Bicycle Song

Bagarre - Dirty Love

A lot of people like Lemonsweet from Bagarre. It's a great track, but this one is also really good. It's kind of angsty and it's got some nice analog toms in the beat. The bassline is a flood.

Supermax - It Ain't Easy

It ain't easy to use proper grammar, but I can forgive Supermax because they make some super music to the max. The synths are almost as thick as the smoke that surely filled the studio at the time of recording this track. It's disco with a 70's rock sensibility. From the album Fly With Me.



It Ain't Easy

Helen - Witch

Giving Dora Carofiglio a run for her money, Helen's vocals in this track send me far far away from my mundane existence within the confines of The Cosmic Pyramid. Traveling without moving... if the mind is a vehicle and music the fuel; this song is high octane. Just look where it sent the guy in the cover art.

Angie Care - Your Mind

Bright white moonlight sliced into strips by the miniblinds casting an array of nocturnal magic upon the cassette deck. Here's some lonely bedroom window star-gazing music.

Number One Ensemble - Down To The Disco

Number One Ensemble really have a lot going for them. Good solid bassline action, nice splashes of mono-synth here & there, strings that state themselves perfectly in the mix, great cover art, and ultra sexy vocals! This song was the first I'd ever heard from them and I immediately wanted more. The Gipsylon album is full of wonderful music, but here is the hook.

Soft Machine - Soft Space

You just gotta love prog-rock bands from the 70's putting secret electronic disco tracks at the end of their albums. That's exactly what we have here with Soft Space from Soft Machine's 1978 album Alive and Well Recorded in Paris. It's pretty fast clocking in around 143 beats per minute, but the arrangement carried by that swift 4/4 tempo is one that sends the listener soaring through aerial mindscapes at sonic speeds.

Stratosferic Band - The First Galaxy

Fantastic baroquely spacey melodies and a nice peppy disco beat. Stratosferic Band's The First Galaxy is the opening cut on their Splash.... LP (which is really an EP in length with only 5 songs). It's Italian, from the late 70's, and can fit nicely in a playlist with the likes of Space and maybe even Automat.

Paolo Vasile - Il Giorno Del Cobra OST

Il Giorno Del Cobra (The Day of the Cobra) is the Enzo G. Castellari movie that this music goes to, and it pretty much missed the whole 60's/70's Italian Poliziotteschi (police crime action) trend. The movie is a good solid 7/10 for me, but damn what a strong entry musically. It's tough and ruthless, but also puts a big smile on my face and has me singing along making me feel like Franco Nero himself.

Franco Micalizzi - Stridulum OST

A true masterpiece of late 70's Italian orchestral supernatural disco soundtrack. This powerful beast of an album will bring you to emotional places you may never have been before. Serious in tone this one is, but can also get a little funky at times especially during the epic titular theme.

Stridulum Theme

Overdrive - Taste

French disco from 1980. This track is a floor burner for sure! I looked high and low for quite a long time (in Earth-Tyme) just to find out what the name of this track was. I heard it in a movie and there was no mention of the name in the credits. During a deep trance, Destination:Akashic Records, the artist and title came to me.
Try it. You'll like it.
Here, have a taste.
