Carrying on our theme of treating this week like a DJ set today we're taking things up a notch. When the crowd starts to pick up and there's a few people on the floor we'll slap a bit of disco or something mid-tempo & weird. We don't want to skip to tops off hugging the speaker just yet so we're not going too mental but if someone has memorized the entire routine to 'You Could Be Dancin" from Saturday Night Fever (please God let that happen some night), which is one of the best films of ALL TIME (SRSLY), then [...]
Soap & Skin - Voyage Voyage [Desireless] | od | bx watch the original
La belga Kate Ryan, una delle regine indiscusse della dance pop europea prosegue nella sua opera di divulgazione musicale dei grandi prodotti musicali francesi, ricantati alla sua maniera. Avevamo già parlato di " Babacar", singolo che accompagnava l'uscita di " French Connection". Era una canzone della grandissima France Gall , di Kate Ryan aveva già cantato anche " Ella Elle l'a", motivo dedicato ad Ella Fitzgerald . Adesso, sempre tratto da questo album che unisce grandi cover di artiste francesi a versioni francesi di pezzi originali [...]

Three tracks from The Hits Album 7 compilation today, which I picked up on double CD for the princely sum of 50p in a charity shop the other day. How I loved these albums back in my early record-buying days. So much so, in fact, that I'm now going to blather on about them at length. Don't say you weren't warned! Conceived in late '84 as a rival to the hugely successful Now That's What I Call Music series, the Hits compilations were, for all their early success, eventually destined to fall by the [...]

Wir lieben ja Covers, vor allem Covers von Rihannas "Umbrella" ( hier und hier ). Es gibt aber auch höchst unnötige Covers logischerweise. Das beste Beispiel liefert heuer Kate Ryan ab. Sie hat tatsächlich den Mut den besten Italo-Disco-Song der je auf französisch gesungen wurde zu covern. Die Rede ist von Desireless' "Voyage Voyage" aus dem Jahr 1986. Den dürfen doch eigentlich nur Chewy covern! Das Original ist göttlich: Desireless - Voyage Voyage Video-Link [...]
"An important reason for the expedient development of Italo Disco in Europe was purely economic. In the early 80s US dollar was traded too high against Italian lira. US records imports were expensive. Main music importers were forced to drastically reduce orders for imports and refocused their business on the local productions. Fulltime, Discomagic, IL Discotto and many other record labels were born from the main Disco music importers out of sheer economic necessity. Italian productions began to flood European music market and it was difficult to find any US imports in Italian record shops. Most of the [...]
There are similarities between steroid-taking baseballers and trancepop. You take a fairly normal body, pump it up artificially and then take it on the road to perform in superdomes. Only there, in the spotlights and watched by thousands, it is most effective. Trance and trance-pop are my pet peeves, but if pushed, I'm willing to acknowledge that when played up to 11 in big arenas (or with a heavy foot on the gas pedal), it sure works. Phil Wilde knows this too, that's why he produced millionsellers for 2Unlimited and Belgian blonde Katrien Verbeek, better known [...]
