Hi Daniel,
Fancy is also non Italo artist; German...
Hi Dario,
>Fancy is also non Italo artist; German...
You’re right, Fancy (Manfred Alois Segiet – probably) is a non Italo artist – yep, he’s German.
But I was wondering why ZYX label, included Fancy in the compilation
VARIOUS ARTISTS: Best Of Italo Disco Fox (FOOLS CRY)
ZYX label NEVER included Modern Talking, CC Catch or Bad Boys Blue in ANY Italo disco compilation.
And if we talk about “non Italo artists”, than Ivan, David Lyme, Valerie Dore, Laban and many other “non Italo artists” shouldn’t be considered Italo disco artists.
But if you look around EVERYBODY consider them… Italo.
I don’t consider Italo disco, the Germans Modern Talking, CC Catch, Bad Boys Blue, Joy (Austria) and few others. They are – IMO - Euro disco, or German disco.
Hi Daniel,
Yes, my friend,
also Mike Mareen, Silent Circle, Sandy Marton(from Croatia; working in Spain) ,Grant Miller(Fancy?) are non Italo and I suppose, few more artists but accent is on their production so everybody consider that "they" belong to Italo! OK with me, I can listen them with a pleasure... Anyway, that style of music is my no.1 and especially disco stuff like B.B.&Q. Band, Deodato-SOS fire in the sky(no.1), SOS Band, Midnight Star, Barry White, Quincy Jones...
Ciao & Best regards,
Dario
PS: Keep the records spinning!
Hi Dario,
I consider Mike Mareen, Italo, but I don't consider Silent Circle and Fancy Italo.
You know Dario, I was thinkimg we should make a list of NON italo disco artists.
So, start listing the artist and the country.
It will be fun.
Yes, good idea!
Ciao
CONGRATULATION! good italo-disco top 50.
I like specially Eddy Huntington-U.S.S.R.
and Den Harrow-Don't break my heart.
Very good chart, we can make a top 100 and more like say MaxHim with all italo-disco of the 80's. And even interpreters weren't italians, the productions were italians, that's the most important ( Dan Hearow, Baltimora weren't italians for instance ).
I'd add
People from Ibiza- Sandy Marton (Martoni)
Hold me in your arms again- Fancy
Color my love- Fun Fun
Activate my heart- Meccano
Check it out - Fancy
And the best of them all!!
Mandrill- Mandrill
You mean
Patrick Colby-Mandrill?
Yes, Patrick Colby's Mandrill, not italian (German-produced I think) but italo-style and very popular there
And
MECCANO
Activate my heart!!
It's Italian!
Patrick Colby - Mandrill
Plexi-Glass Records PX 001 Italia 1986
Producer: Alex Cundari
music & lyrics: G. Caria, S. Oliva, G. Cinelli
arranged and mixed by: Alex Cundari, C. Cattafesta
Side A: Mandrill (6:02)
Side B: Instrumental (6:02)

And I would add few hundreds more, but unfortunately in a Top 100, I can only put… 100.
I was already very difficult to choose 100 from the 2,000 songs I have in my iTunes.
Daniel.
P.S. BTW disco guru, can I see YOUR Top 50?
I would add Robot is Systematic by 'Lectric Workers and some Cellophane and most of all Pineapples.
Maybe you should just make it 100 and then perhaps I could have the joy of seeing Carrera Disco King and Shine on Dance and Creatures Believe in Yourself and Jo Jo to name a few more.
And there is space for one of them at least since Hey Hey Guy is both #47 and #32 and since you got me very worked up just looking at this chart I would move Pretty Face up much farther and I much prefer The Night by Valerie Dore to Get Closer. I'd also like to see Queen of Witches by Kano up there. Oh yes indeed Kano gotta love Kano!
what? Linda jo rizzo at top? Mine would be Scotch - disco band and Savage - Dont cry tonight at number two.... but what about Radiorama or martinelli .... have you forgot about these artists?
No, those artists would be in a Top 100.
Good to see Linda Jo Rizzo at the top, although I always prefer "Perfect Lover"...and I would definately have "Hypnotic Tango" much higher than 49...probably Top 5...but a great chart..well done!!!
How 'bout:
1. Havana-Drive in the night
2. Black Book-You must change
3. Patty Devick-Heart to heart
4. Flexx-Love theme from Flexxy-ball
5. Felli-Diamond in the night
6. Marce-I want You
7. Vivien Vee-Destiny
8. Thai Break-Flowers in the rain
9. Kata-Fire in the night
10. Baby's Gang-Challenger/Swedish remix!!!/
11.C'sar-I remember
and...
Many many good Italo songs! But I don't see no Scotch, no Radiorama, No Ken Laszlo...Well,my friends, there are other Italo songs which are less known but still good(or better) to take no.1's places in charts! Of course, I LIKE Ken Laszlo, Radiorama, Scotch and other well known artists but these are Diamonds like some other less known...
Well, after so many years I'm still discovering "new" Italo&Euro disco songs from early 80's that I've never heard before!
Of course, Italo' s the best music! but Euro-Disco is also good(BBB, Modern T, Fancy, Silent C, Mike M...()
How 'bout list of non italo artists, Daniel?

David Lyme Spain
Fancy Germany
Mike Mareen Germany
Silent Circle Germany
Modern Talking Germany
Bad Boys Blue Germany
CC Catch Germany
Blue System Germany
Amadeus Liszt Germany
KB Caps Germany(great songs!!)

Attack & Sisley Ferre Holland

hi guys . what mentioned is great but dont you agree with me that thers big hits or italo big hits not mentioned e.g
1) brando - rainy days
2) keep on music - danny keith
3) dolce vita - ryan paris
4) materpiece and i like chopin - gazebo
5)vamos a la playa - reighera
those tracks is well known to all italo fans and very popular. other thing in my opinion we should not consider some italo and other is not or euro the rythm and tune is similar or at least have alot in between . 20 years back first time i listened to all of those italo and non i never felt any diffrence in between those style . other thing if we will classify it in thise way thise mean there will be ( italo . german . spain . holland . swedish .....) which is unaccebtable
thanks

I would throw in the list Brian Ice, Hipnosis, Cyber People, JD Jaber, and Forbidden Fruit.
