Gary Numan - 'Telekon'

You're not far wrong there Membs ! Just to capture the complete San Siro atmosphere I get the missus to sell me little plazzy cups of crap supermarket beer at 7 (seven) euro a throw !
Going off at a tangent You might have seen in the "Reading " thread about "The Death of Marco Pantani " Loads of places from round your way are mentioned Marco rode up the Col de Leominster , Pantani tackled the Luggwardine descent , Lots of place from Emilia Romagna mentioned too !

The Best Of Yazoo

Austra - Feel It Break

All 40 minutes of The Orb's 'legendary' The Blue Room...

...ummm - it's not aged well, but still gives a warm glow inside

A disco oriented selection I compiled. Guaranteed to conjure those of a certain age back to carefree summer nights of childhood and adolescence:

The Hustle - Van McCoy
Yes Sir, I Can Boogie - Baccara
Magic Fly - Space
More More More (Extended Version) Andrea True Connection
I Feel Love (12 Inch) - Donna Summer
The Shuffle - Van McCoy
You Should Be Dancing - The Bee Gees
Sorry I'm A Lady - Baccara
Mississippi - Pussycat

Choooooooooooooooons!

I had a massive disco-phase late last summer after reading Peter Shapiro's Turn The Beat Around: The Rise and Fall of Disco

Mind you, I seemed to of had a massive Disco phase since 1978 or thereabouts...

I've been trying sooo hard to get into the 90s ..

Boards of Canada
Future Sound of London
Underworld ...
- that sort of thing.

Thanks for the heads up RB. It looks a 'must read' the way my listening habits are at the moment. My current interest has been largely kindled by watching Top Of The Pops 76 and now 77 on BBC4. Back in the day I was kind of programmed that you weren't supposed to like disco or 'uncool' mainstream like Abba, The Bee Gees and songs like Mississippi and Don't Go Breaking My Heart. Against my instincts all along, as is happens. What strikes me, besides choons that were to die for, is how much IDENTITY much of the music had back then compared to now.
