Blackbelt Andersen takes time out from the Internet to bring us another slice of Norweigian acid boogie, on Full Pupp. “Syrup” is a brilliant long drawn out semi ambient builder, with a huge acid line running through the middle, the track gradually builds and builds until finally dropping the kick about half way in, and breaking things down to a nice little bongo led groove. Over on side-B Prins Thomas brings us Diskomiks, stretching out “Syrup” in a similar style to the original, but with a bit more tempo and urgency.

Bobby Orlando is a highly prolific music producer, songwriter, musician and record label impresario. During the 1980s he produced, composed and played on hundreds of music productions that he released under a myriad of record labels, including: “O” Records, Bobcat Records, Memo Records, Telefon Records, MenoVision Records, Beach Records, Plastic Records, Eurobeat Records, Obscure Records, Beat Box Records, Riovista Records, Intelligent Records, Basic Records, Knowledge Records and others. In the late ‘80s, at the peak of his success, the “one-man-band” suddenly and inexplicably halted his extensive production output.

Orlando is credited as one of the founding fathers of euro/pop dance music. His productions are easily identifiable by their dense synthesizers, rolling bass lines, and resounding percussion. Orlando tracks showcase him playing multiple instruments including keyboards, guitars, drums, percussion and saxophone. The ringing cowbell percussion lines and robotic sequencers heard in “She has a Way,” “The Best Part of Breakin’ Up,” “Desire,” and “Native Love (Step by Step),” define the electrifying sound he pioneered.

As a solo artist, Orlando scored hits with tracks “She Has a Way,” “A Man Like Me,” and “I’m So Hot for You.” He created his project concept, The Flirts, to further front his performances. With its ever revolving roster of female session singers and models, Orlando churned out international hits “Passion,” “JukeBox (Don’t put another Dime),” and “Helpless,” which featured Orlando as the sole musician. His legendary association with underground film star Divine resulted in classic club anthems “Native Love” (featuring Orlando’s voice in the chorus), “Love Reaction,” “Jungle Jezebel,” and “Shoot your Shot.” He also is famed for founding The Fast, later to be known as Man 2 Man.

Alden Tyrell is a hero. FACT. If there was to be a 1980s styled tv show about my life, i’d pick anyone of these tracks as the backing to the title sequence… They transform electronic music back in time to the swirling sounds of Italo perfectly. Oh and why the picture of Rab C Nesbitt? He’s a hero aswell!

As you can see, i’m going mad with Italo classics, old and new, and this 8 minute stormer brought to us by the legend, Robotnik, has been remixed by M.A.N.D.Y. to great effect. Typical in their sound, they’ve stripped the original back and laced it with harmonic beats.

Trans-X was a Canadian 1980s dance band best known for their hit song “Living on Video“.

Trans-X was started by Pascal Languirand in 1981, when their first song “Living on Video” was released. In 1982, Trans-X released another song “Message on the Radio” which didn’t make the charts. In 1985, Pascal decided to retire as Trans-X after his last song “3-D Dance” was released. This song made the charts in Canada but not in the United States. After the song was released Pascal went silent for a few years and decided to continue his solo career with New Age music instead of Electronica. In 1998, he released his “Greatest Hits” album. In 2003, Pascal decided to return as Trans-X and made a remake of his popular song called “Living On Video 2003″ The song was a combination of New Wave Electronica synthesizers and higher-pitched vocals. Pascal’s newest hit, “Living On Video 2k6″ was released on May 6, 2006

This is a classic slice of Italo, a pure GEM. Available on Vinyl Loops 6 from Juno
