You need to know this:

Actually you just need to listen to Mixed Up In The Hague Vol2 (and Vol 1, but Vol2 is my personal favourite)

Edit: Herr Jan kind of beat me to it. VOL2 is the superior one though! ;)

I've been trying to remember the name of this mix for ages, both are excellent.

Like herr jan said, start listening to intergalactic fm. Here are a couple of my favorites. these tracks might be shitty but i love them anyways.

i also highly recommend change - the glow of lowe. one of my favs

end.

This is an obscure one, and an absolute gem. Italo meets Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express if you will.

The same guys who made 'Lectric Workers - Robot is Systematic' and 'Decadance - On and On"

Can anyone recommend me a good comp too?

Yes! i recommend the I-Robots compilation, probably the best one if you're into the less cheesy side of italo.

when those weird detuned pads come in at 1:55 is probably the fucking lushest beat ive ever heard in my life OMG why is my face melting

Spacer Woman and Feel The Drive are probably the two biggest Italo songs.

I love how over the top this is.

can't we merge this with the other thread?

If and when I make a top list of my my all time favorite Italo songs this will most definitely be included.

Italo for life!

Fuck, I'd buy those just for the cover art.

Is In Flagranti considered Italo-Disco revival, or just more straight-up disco?

Also, I suppose this is best thread to share this, even though I think it's just straight up underground American disco...

...also it's a parody of a satirical Zappa song which is pretty strange.
