La musica si muove appena: The ILM ITALO Poll (Results Thread)

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?

Stadium Dogs - Easybeat (1978)

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

Jo Squillo & Kaos - Dammi Pace (Esplosioni d'Amore) (1984)

I first heard "Concert Boy" in 2020 and it quickly became my Lockdown-Summer-Bike-Ride-Earbuds jam

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.

hi grady :-)

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:

Kano - IT'S A WAR (Purple Disco Machine & Lorenz Rhode Remix)

i got 7/10 :)

I got 6. Of the 4 I didn’t, 2 I should’ve.

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

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
