This is AWESOME. So much cheese! I love it. However, I'm confused by one of the descriptions: (mostly rare italodance & a few new wave tracks by: rose mcdowell, ronny, visage) Um, Rose McDowall? The same one who did all the collaborations with Death In June, Current 93, Coil, Nurse With Wound, etc.? How does she even remotely fit in with all this?

You'll want to wash that down with some glitchsex like this.

How does she even remotely fit in with all this? Strawberry Switchblade, I'm thinking. It's a plinka-plinka enough sound that it would be attractive to remixers.

This is the sound of insane amounts of coke being snorted.

Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan would approve.

I like my Italo-disco with an extra helping of Electro and Disco (courtesy of I-F of The Hotmix Foundation and Intergalactic FM). I was sure these were still downloadable somewhere, but I couldn't find a handy link.

(courtesy of I-F of The Hotmix Foundation and Intergalactic FM) I was just about to suggest channel 2 of Intergalactic FM for anyone who likes this stuff, as I do. My wife and I have spent the past couple of Sundays passing the time with channel 3 and talking to bob.

Whatever anyone may think of this kind of music, I want to give the site profound props for not having any sort of embedded player that cranks up and starts blasting the instant the page begins to load.

I have wondered what Italo-Disco was for a while. I have at least one record on the label 'Italo-Disco', but I don't think it does what it says on the label as it is a Quadtrant Park rave smash. Will listen without prejudice.
