Lo Goes High – FLAC – Volume 1 (feat. Nick Kamen, Night Society, Affairs Of The Heart, British Colony, Alan Michael, Cleo, Florence Magic Group, Jimmy Bo Horne)

After his Lo-fi escapades Lo has shared some FLAC files. I know , all for the FLAC junkies out there. About 8 per a volume. Still quite obscure and for fans of Italo Disco – the proper stuff! Plenty of vid previews so you know what your getting into.

Nick Kamen – Tell Me (Extended Mix)

I’d forgotten that he’d passed away back in 2021 (aged 59) from bone cancer.

This was remixed by Michael Hutchinson and written and arranged by Patrick Leonard and David Williams. Kamen wrote the lyrics.

Bouncing synth bass and sampled brass gives it a Summery. Not the best vocals but you can tell it’s him. Still getting the Madonna comparisons and she provides the backing vocals.

With it’s own promo movie

Night Society – Hold Me Tight (Tonight)

Euro Disco from 1985 and very similar to Modern Talking. Produced by Patric Perquee (Hot Shot, Winder) German in origin and involving Carsten Wegener, Charlotte Jäger (Winder), and Ingo Schnoor plus a mysterious male vocalist vocalist.

Affairs Of The Heart – Waterloo Sunset (Dance Mix)

Synthpop coverage of The Kinks classic. From 1983 with plenty of Simmons drum rolls.  Rose McDowall (later to be one half of Strawberry Switchblade) on lead vocals. Self produced with a unique sound.

The British Colony – Have You Seen Me Dancin’

Who ?

From 1983 and on the French Carrere label. The line-up was Drums – Erik Fouquet, Guitar, Vocals – Jeremy Knight, Keyboards, Vocals – Syl La Seva and Vocals, Bass – Peter Murray.

Anglo French New Wave it appears.

Characterised by synth bass that plops in as much as Orange Juice’s “Rip It Up”, catchy and extremely popular in France, I thought they hated us ?

Alan Michael – Is That You

Looking like an angelic Erling Haaland. This German release from 1987 gets a Phil Harding remix. Michael (Alen J. Matković) was actually born in Yugoslavia and this was a collab between him and Michiel Hoogenboezem.

Italo Disco with decent vocals and a bit of guitar. Some typical Harding touches and it does go on a bit and those lyrics.

Cleo – Eyes

More proper Italo Disco from this French release from 1984. Sung by Italian Maria Chiara Perugini.

Arranged by Roberto Ferrante (Pineapples), really like the sultry guitar part. Madonna taking notes for “Into The Groove” It certainly has an electro groove to it amongst the wavy sequencers.

Florence Magic Group – Trading Love

Italo Disco from 1986. The Mix Version of the track from the band Florence.

Marco Faragli (360 Gradi) – Vocal & Keyboards
Marino Spagna (Florence)- Drums & Percussions
Umberto Urzi – Guitar & Bass

Quite cheesy and very Boy Band. Produced by Romano Trevisani.

Jimmy Bo Horne – Spank (And Paarty Remix)

A remix of the 1979 Disco hit. Written by KC and The Sunshine Band’s, Ronald Louis Smith and remixed by Tolga “Flim Flam” Balkan into an early House track. Typical late 80’s butchery job but not too bad and keeps the original within its sights.

  1. I think I provided a few of these, but not all of them… someone out there needs to speak up or I will get undue credit for a few of these.

    How about this, if you like the song, lets pretend I provided it, and if not someone else did.

    1. Scored 2 out of 7 this time, Nick Kamen and British Colony 🥳

      Would’ve been a hat-trick with the Haaland lookalike. Ironic 😁
