Orchestral Disco

[karlos1964]

I'm a big fan of Orchestral Disco, the more strings the better I say.

I have all the usual stuff ie Costandinos, Cerrone etc but does anyone have any other recommendations?

I've recently discovered Jumbo's "Turn on to love" which is great but I need to hear some others!

Many thanks in advance.

The 1st one is Fantasy Girl by Stephen Schlaks. The 2nd one is a 10 minute deluxe disco departure into Brasilia by the people who made the Gary Criss classic. You may recognise the last one, it's "Escape From Tomorrow" by Lalo Schifrin, here mutated in Mumbai into a Bollywood soundtrack theme with additional kung fu effects. Play extremely loud.
