And if this works, we can go and do a Northern Soul/Motown/Stax thread, but let's see.
Not me."Now then, I know that 99.99% of Dissensians are doctrinaire junglists and 2-steppers (otherwise, why are you here?)"
Not me.
This is good assuming it's early enough. The Flirts - Passion
I read once that Bobby O was very homophobic... but my brain refuses to accept that, it just doesn't make any sense."marvellous - stinks of poppers, absolutley reeks."

My favourite disco tune by a mile these days
Sylvester - I NEED SOMEBODY TO LOVE TONIGHT
And for sheer nuttiness, nothing matches Harry.
I'm not too keen on the funkier end of disco, perhaps cos I'll never forgive it for murdering soul music.
But this Jones Girls tune is beyond great.
the jones girls track i really like is nights over egypt, produced by dexter wansell isn't it
there are a bunch of singles on that same label as the harry thurman which all have that cross over mental heavy sound design electronics and strings, that really is an amazing very avant side of disco, i need to find alot more stuff like that, i think, thats the side that really gets me very excited.
I await the mixtape!
well thats the problem, there are very few records out there that are like this, i can only think of about 4 or 5, but then i can't really say i've done a huge investigation, cos it's so bloody difficult to find the things it's kind of serendipidous, but i'm really suprised that combination hasn't been explored or revisited as it's so much more exciting and interesting and has so much more potential than say italo or something.
Yeah, I don't get the Italo thing at all. Space disco is cool, but Italo just seems kitsch and ironic (although I know people whose love for it is apparently very sincere).
Nice one, good stuff."he was in it for the money. a straight italian guy on the mass production tip, works in real estate now

There's a lot of Italo thats a direct predecessor to both early House and Techno.
Compare something like Charlie's Spacer Woman.
To Cybotron.

I think thats what got people interested in creating this ""Italo as revivalist scene" even though it was by and large very commercial and cheesy music.
Here's one of my favorites proto Italo tracks by way of restitution.
Tantra - Hills of Katmandu
Very big in early 80s NYC area clubs like the Funhouse.
