    Re: Suggest some italo, hi-nrg full albums

    If you thought '70s Disco was singles driven then you'll quickly see that most Italo, Hi-NRG and Euro from the '80s were by artists who would put out only one or two songs.

    Fancy out of Germany had some good material. Most of their songs were written by Anthony Monn. Fancy's albums "Contact" and "Flames of Love" are especially recommended. Here's a listing of Fancy on this site: Fancy @ DiscoMusic.com

    Pretty sure other members can follow up with other recommendations.

    Sylvester put out a few hi-nrg albums from '82-'87. Bobby O's acts such as The Flirts, Roni Griffith & Oh Romeo released decent hi-nrg albums too. Of course, my personal faves are the SAW albums such as Dead Or Alive, Hazell Dean & Mandy Smith. Oh & don't forget (Marky's fave!:icon_mrgreen:) the Lime albums.

    Thanks Bernie and SandraDee. That's right, it's doubly hard to find the albums because most of them were singles artists, and italo was underground then and now really underground (which is why I like it).

    I guess I don't totally understand what "italo" means. If it means albums recorded completely or partially in Italy, then the Jacques Fred Petrus/Mauro Malavasi productions of Change/the Peter Jacques Band/The B.B. and Q. Band/Macho and others would definitely be my favorites.

    Dude, I love Fancy! After you said that, I went out and found their album, Get Your Kicks (85), and you were exactly right. They are some killer synth, and funky, just the way I like it. I can't wait to listen to Contact, Flames of Love, etc. There's another one for the list, Fancy - Get your Kicks. I hope all the albums on here are as good as that one. Now off to find the other albums...
