I love the 12" version of Happy Station; I'm not as keen on the Scratch Mix but it def makes for an amazing video

Great tune

cant say for sure but this track may have been my introduction to Italo ~10-11 years ago
― gr8080, Thursday, 12 February 2015 16:41 (nine years ago) link
The Scratch mix of Happy Station totally eclipsed the original mix at the time. I doubt that's the "official video", though - it looks like the sort of bonkers staging that the weekly German pop TV show Formel Eins would come up with.

Not sure if our next entry is the biggest Italo hit of all time, but it certainly felt like it at the time...

the biggest italo hit ever is probably correct, originally knew it from this:

(unless you count "i'm ready," whose bassline was used on "whoomp! there it is")

Would happily listen to only these 50 songs on a loop forever, so pleased both Self Controls hit high. Clio and Fun Fun are sooo sooo good.
― ineloquentwow (Craigo Boingo), Thursday, 12 February 2015 18:47 (nine years ago) link
How lucky are we that all this is on YouTube? Imagine having to look through hundreds of record bins just to get to hear this top 50, let alone all the other nominees.

"Stop" is the greatest! I might prefer "Living Up", but they're both so great

Wrong Happy Station for me, that’s the 'scratch version', here’s the original in case you don’t know it: http://youtu.be/28Um3jmQHhI
