^That's awesome.
I heard this for the first time earlier this year, probably the most beautiful italo track I've ever heard (doesn't seem to be mentioned in this thread):

Over and Over is great...kills me when even the repressing are 25 dollars plus.

Great memories of one of my DJ partners playing this down the years, such a beautiful heartbreaker.

Very nice.

a vinyl IG account i follow posted this today, remembered that i was fully obsessed with this one earlier this year. arguably closer to hi-NRG/new wave than italo proper but a banger all the sameCube - Concert Boyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF_z1CsYJCY

Concert boy b/w Building on Land is a great single, both sides. I remember the Cube album being decent too!

I wasn't familiar with Cube until I DJ'd an empty saturday at the record store Superior Elevation followed by Jexopolis who played them.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 15 December 2022 18:09 (one year ago) link
when i was 14 i had a friend who kept trying to make me listen to cube, but i never did because i was dumb :(
have liked what i've heard subsequently though - they sound pretty similar to new musik i think?

not Italo whatsoever, but this was the new wave band that Paul Griffiths was in before Cube, 10CC-esque nerdy power pop, pretty cool i think?

and getting back to Italo business, he also played guitar on this amazingness:

I first heard "Concert Boy" in 2020 and it quickly became my Lockdown-Summer-Bike-Ride-Earbuds jam
― gr8080, Thursday, 15 December 2022 19:15 (one year ago) link
Concert Boy is a total total hammer and I am now reminded I need to get it into my collection. I didn’t know the connection with Jo Squillo - the LP that track is on is pretty great.

Didnt know Concert Boy, it's very Stacrk Club.

This Cube track is great too, as featured on Matthew Burgess & Jolyon Green's Originals comp for Claremont 56

I usually don't find much charm in many modern remixes of italo classics, but this version hits the spot:

i got 7/10 :)
― donna rouge, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 21:04 (one year ago) link
I got 6. Of the 4 I didn’t, 2 I should’ve.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 21:21 (one year ago) link
yeah two of them i absolutely knew and have heard but couldn’t remember the artist or title. #9 was totally new to me. still the highest score i’ve ever gotten on a Blind Test video lol
― donna rouge, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 22:16 (one year ago) link
Got 7.5, but was hoping for a 9 at least. It’s back to Italo school for me. Number 9 was new to me too.
In other news, I’ve been a bit obsessed with this one the last couple of weeks:

love how there’s two italo tracks named “take me to the top” that are totally different but both excellent
