me!!! Just listen to it and enjoy. Bravo Andy!!! Finally one song with
old effects - voice sampling like in Working Girl or Who's Your Boyfriend.
Seems like Bobby O style :)
The other record is Dario - All The Night.
Song is made in Time Records style and everything is fine but to me it's
boring, melody is not exciting at all. Maybe you'll like it more...
I'm going to seaside for three weeks so no updates during that period...

Boy with link to his latest song Boy Loves
Boy so here it is. There are three version, but I published the

of old song, but this time without too much of guitars. Very nice melody!
Old version you can find here.

Let's hope that it will sound fine...
06.06.2009.
New
stuff again! Finally we have a chance to get new maxi by Riccardo
Campa - already released Desperado
on Flashback Vol. 2 CD and one nice new song Casanova.
There is also new album by Vision Talk named
Dirty Italo Disco. Why ditry? Because the
style is not pure Italo. The sound is nice but other stuff... Listen for
yourself, you might like it. And new crazy video Scotch
- Disco Band.
31.05.2009.
Hey
Italo gang, here is something that you haven't been expecting I guess.
Soon you'll be able to get a new maxi by Squash
Gang!!! Recently they had a concert in Spain (with other Italo
artists from Spain) so maybe that was inspiration for new songs... So
here we have two short samples. When I Close My
Eyes is simply masterpiece, great! And Tell
Me Why is good song but just like many others... And new nice song
by Andy Romano - Stay With You. I don't know
yet when will it be published, I gotta ask him and then I'll let you know...
Enjoy new Italo music! And new video uploaded Martinelli
- Cenerentola.
26.05.2009.
New
video to download - Laskoviy May - Belye Rozy.
And just a small note for those who want to buy new Ken Laszlo because
of Hey Hey Guy '83. This version is copied
from Sandro Oliva's old tape and it wasn't edited nowdays in studio. It
sounds like they even didn't do normalization. Weird! So the quality is...
You can imagine... Not perfect as it was supposed to be!!! And yet good
for tape twenty years old... And quality of A side could have been better.
It's not that bad as B side, but there is something wrong too...
20.05.2009.
Again
a new gift for you! Elen Cora has new maxi
with two songs Over Time and This
Love (Is More Than A Feeling). Listen to the music in Over Time,
it's perfect, like Farina's production. This is great maxi, and you'll
get it agin for free thanks to Elen! Now we wait for her LP with group
Siberian Heat. I heared one song so far named
Sorry and I can tell you that you will not
be dissapointed :) It's perfect!

New
awesome song by Ken Laszlo - Dancing Forever!!!
Listen to the lyrics, it is similar to Peter's last song, it also talks
about Italo fans, but this is not nostalgic but happy song. It's really
interesting song, I didn't like it when I heared it for the first time,
but I kept on listening and after six times it became really great! It's
nice to hear this old, familiar voice :). B side is Hey Hey Guy from 1983!
This sounds really older than version from 1984. Nice surprise! And new

New
Italo song by new Italo label - Dreamtrack
Diamond Sound. Song Meltdown is not what you would expect, meaning,
it's kind of modern version of Italo Disco production. Very nice, I can't
get it out of my head :) And Holdin' Out is classical song. I think that
you'll like it too... And a few words to you from producers of this maxi:
Dreamtrak - Based in North London in the UK, The
label is run by a dedicated team of Italo Disco fans. We also run a recording
studio and hold a monthly Synthesizer dance party called "Dreamtrak
Diamond Nights". "Meltdown/Holdin' Out" is the first Dreamtrak
release, recorded and mixed in house at Dreamtrak Studios. Hopefully we
will be putting out further Italo influenced tracks on the back of this
one.
Valerio
Loveland - From Centocelle, Rome. Valerio was discovered performing in
a nightclub by the Dreamtrak team. The team thought he would be perfect
for the tracks Holdin' Out and Meltdown and invited him over to London
to sing on them. When in the studio the team and Valerio all realised
this was going to be a great record. We are currently trying to get Valerio
back over to London for some performances!
21.02.2009.
And
now something special for you: I hope that all of you so far found out
about new song by Peter Arcade named Italo
Disco [listen].
This song is very special not only because of great music but also because
of unique lyrics. So I asked Peter to write a few words for you since
this song is devoted to you - all of Italo Disco fans - the best people
that you can meet according to my experience. So Peter wrote following:
The
starting point is that, as you know, we have thousands of italo hits talking
about sentimental stories that all the fans (that i prefer to call "believers"
and "daydreamers") used and still listen to, so I wanted, for
once, to compose a song talking about them, and the style itself; that
is talking also about me, 'cause i had the luck to be on both sides as
a fan and, later, as an artist. :-) A song that describes the moments
of those that were teenagers during the original "golden age"
(in the 80es) and that are still here, after more than 25 years, sharing
the same sensations; that tells how "believers" and the "storytellers"
(the artists) are stars of the same sky. The lyrics of "Italo disco"
themselve explains it all:

[listen]
Here
we are, once again
All together, in our magical dreams, we believe
That it won’t be over
From every part, of the world
We are all united –
Italo disco is playing louder
In
our eyes, there’s the sight
Of the sunny seasons, and our heart plays the beat
Of forgotten feelings,
No, they don’t know, what it means
An eternal promise –
They’ll never know what it means to love one
When
we feel lonely
A song will bring back every single face – every single place!
We are the only
We are the children from another time
From the outer space
Believers |
Rit.
As the record starts to spin
You can feel the shivers
Cause the sound gets deep within
Electronic quivers
When the strobo starts to blink
You move in slow motion
Though your memories come back fast
Italo disco emotions!
Here
we are
Listening to – sentimental music
Romantic words, poems that rhyme
Celebrating lovers
Time passing by, but somehow
We are still teenagers
Holding each other as on our first date
And
we stare
To the sea, to the thundering ocean
Hoping for someone to come
But it never happens
So you just write on the sand, wishing they could read it
“I love you” but the tide quickly wipes it
Lets
start to party
And one more time, release our energy
Let the future be
This is our message
Just living life in perfect harmony
With the melody
Inside us |
Rit.
As the record starts to spin
You can feel the shivers
Cause the sound gets deep within
Electronic quivers
When the strobo starts to blink
You move in slow motion
Though your memories come back fast
Italo disco emotions!
As
the record starts to spin
You spin on the dancefloor
And the sound gets deep within
But you still ask for more
When the melody begins
Then you catch the fever
So you know one thing for sure
You will live forever!

|
You
will also find, on the backsleeve of the record, the following personal
dedication that expresses the concept:
MORE
THAN A STYLE, ITALO DISCO HAS BEEN A MAGICAL, MUSICAL DREAM MADE OF FEELINGS
AND PLAYED BY THE SOULS OF ROMANTIC AND AGELESS TEENAGERS THAT BELIEVED,
FOREVER, IN ETERNAL LOVE; THIS RECORD IS DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE "DREAMERS"
AND "BELIEVERS".
Best regards, Peter Arcade

Another
CD by Fred Ventura is out! Actually for some
time... It consists of some of his old songs in combination with new ones
made in cooperation with other artists. Some of the songs were already
presented here, and someare here for the first time. New interesting song
is I'm Not Ready. When I heared it, I was
confused - is it Fred or Bobby O?! Yes, it's
Fred but using Bobby O style. Since Fred said that he is big Bobby O fan,
this shouldn't be surprise. I can hear elements from at least three songs
by Bobby O in this one - She Has A Way, Shoot Your Shot, Calling All Boys...
Very nice, maybe refrain melody might be a bit more interesting. Other
new songs are City Of Destiny and I Cut My Heart Out. City
Of Destiny is unusually happy for Fred. I didn't expect it, his
style is more sadish so this is something new. And I
Cut My Heart Out. I Cut This Song Out. You can forget about this
one, I suppose that this one was CD filler, it lasts for 8.48. Silence
would have been much better choice...

We didn't have to wait for
a long time to hear new maxi by (now known to you) Elen
Cora. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check her previous
single. This time she has two songs for us in several versions. And yes,
again you got her music for FREE,
great, thanks Elen!!! Call Me is very catchy
song, nice vocal and nice production. Sleeping In
Your Hands is based on low tempo Space Disco sound. And again there
is very nice melody. This time I wanted to inform you a bit more about
her work, so here it is. Do your homework and read it :)
Elen Cora was born on february
2nd 1985. in beautiful SIBERIAN city - Krasnoyarsk (RUSSIA) as Elena Korennykh
Valentinovna to her parents Galina and Valentin Korennykh. She has one
brother - Alexei Korennykh, who lives in America (San-Francisco). First
song was written by Elen (alias Elen Cora) when she was 11 years old.
She took vocal lessons when she was 14. After school her parents told
that she has to go to the UNIVERSITY, but after 4 semesters she left highschool
and all her time was devoted to the MUSIC!!! Almost all of songs by Elen
are in English because her favourite artists are Modern Talking, C.C.Catch,
Sandra, Enigma... She was listening to their songs and her dream was to
sing like Sandra and C.C.Catch... To sing in English and to be so famous
like they are... But what we are talking about... oh, naturally... Elen
gave the concerts, wrote her own songs and sang in bands where she was
lead-singer. It's all what she wanted from her life!!! First group where
she sang was named ECLIPSE, it was just the beginning. There were two
girls. But the passion to grow was too strong and after one demo album
she started singing in more successful project Non-stop, incl. again 2
persons - Elen Cora and Victor Nezamaev. During this time Elen also took
part in club project Kids of rain, incl. Elen, naturally, DJ Vankor and
some dancers. It was great club music, and with this group Elen gave her
first concert in the night club!!! After Non-stop and Kids of rain, after
few yers, she took part in Hop-hop & Lounge project TRILOBIT, incl.
3 persons - Elen, Vasily Kirshenkov and Katja Shahmatova. But this project
was over soon! Also Elen always sang as a solo-singer because she has
so many her own songs!!! In 2007 she began to sing in the most successful,
than all her old projects, band SIBERIAN HEAT! It is the DISCO project
with wonderful old-style (Italo Disco) music!
31.01.2009.
Fancy is with us again with
new CD named Forever Magic! Actually there
are two versions of this album, all of songs are the same but bonus. First
one is published in Germany and it has two old remixed songs as bonus.
Another one is published in Russia and it has some new bad song as bonus.
I can mention a few interesting songs. Flames Of
Love is kind of weird this time, it is half in English and half
in Russian. Actually very bad Russian :), it is very hard to understand
the lyrics, I really wonder who told him how to sing it. Yet, it has some
charm, it's the same as when Italians sing in bad English... The best
song that lasts only 2.27 is Forever Magic.
It makes me wanna dance to it every time I hear it, just like Love
Spy does. Some parts are stolen from some Eurodance songs from
90's... This song is really great, can't stop listening to it! Little
Juliet is very interesting because of something typical. Check
up what is it. A Voice In The Dark - also
great song, maxi is already released, I'll upload it soon. Do I have to
say that remixed Go Cha Cha and Wait
By The Radio are also something to enjoy in? So this CD has something
that was expected from Fancy - very nice and catchy melodies that make
you wanna sing along. I have to mention worst song ever that Fancy published
- I'm Your Bodyguard. I really can't believe
it. Is it a Turkish folk song or what??? Hm... I have no idea what was
it that he wanted to achieve with this one. Strange... Anyway, it nice
to hear that Fancy is active again. Now we wait for Forever
Magic maxi single. Untill than, enjoy this album!
And sad news at the end
- RIP Mike Francis. He died on 30.1.2009.
after a long illness.
Real name: Francesco Puccioni (April 26th, 1961. - January 30th, 2009.)

FlashBack Records CD compilation
Presence Of The Past Vol. 2 is out! So what
do we have here. Fred Ventura - I Want You Back
is usually good. Yet, the last song that was masterpiece was Memories.
After that single songs are fine but that's it - just fine. I hope to
hear some perfection from Fred again... Tiziana
Rivale - Ash is also nice song. It is easy to get used to it after
a few listenings. Felli - Shadows Of The Night...
One word - perfection! New song by Riccardo Campa
- Desperado. It's not yet on vynil, only on this CD. I like it
very much, yet it's not as good as Another Day
and Madness... Dyva
- My Love. Can guys from Dyva go wrong? I don't think so! Their
music is really something! Peter Arcade is
presented with song The Fairytale. Another
reallly good song, but I prefer A side of the same recod - song with intresting
title - Italo Disco. Then Bruno
Mosti - Music Of My Star. Hm... This song confuses me. I like it
a bit and then I don't wanna listen to it. And my opinion changes all
the time. Strange... George aaron - Heaven
- one of the best songs in last few years. Great!! Then Patty
- My Name Is Patty - was it supposed to sound like Sabrina? I guess.
This song has some really nice parts but I simply can't stand those guitars.
Horrible! Hey producers, this is Italo Disco! Wrong instrument for this
kind of music! And the last song Karl Otto &
Joey Mauro - Come Into My Dream. It's OK but something is wrong
here. Seems like some instrument is a bit late and it makes it out of
sync. Actually it's not, but it is just my impression. It also happens
in some other songs that Joey Mauro made... So that's it, if you don't
want to buy records, this is a chance to buy a CD.
