Hello Italo..

NICE
photo via dtybywl

Italo Disco features the joys/pitfalls of disco along with some extra glam and a few different/obvious european accents sprinkled in here and there. For what seems like forever, I have been finding myself on youtube watching the most basic and oft strangest vids where rare and old italo records are played alongside pics of old record jackets and usually random photos of office buildings, footage of the movie “Mannequin”, etc../et al. i suggest you try it sometime. it’s pretty rad, plus it’s the best way to find the true italo gems out there and there are many Italo gems out there. Here are a few:

First off here’s Casco’s (aka. Salvatore Cusato) opus originally released in 1983 (Italy). Amazing.

Casco – Cybernetic Love

Former front man- Stefano- recently appeared on the Italian version of celebrity survivor, thus confirming the power (emotional) and reach of the Den Harrow project will never really end. This was originally featured on the group’s 1985 Overpower Album (Italy).

Den Harrow – Charleston

Although not Italian or released in the classical Italo era, Stockholm’s Tropical Silence has created a choice Italo cut with “Flod”. Check out the Tropical Silence myspace here for some more free tracks.
