I don't know whether to laugh, cry or run for cover.
What do you make of this article?
I like this comment:
"The sounds has been "making a comeback" for well over a year now and is a welcome alternative to the minimal dross which permeates the dance music scene. The "cosmic disco cosmic rock" album is well worth checking. Alexander Robotnick and Miss Kittin have played Italo tunes for years in their sets."
"for well over a year now" 
"madridmike" is not a member of this forum, is he? 
and this one : " I'm Italian, I'm 38, I'm into music and I never heard of Italo-Disco as a word, genre, dance, songs, whatever in my entire life.
There are no limits to knowledge! "
There s a buzz with the italo right now, that s true, because last saturday, i went with some friends in a DIESEL shop, and the music was only good italo disco... Amazing...
What about this reply:
I'm Italian, I'm 38, I'm into music and I never heard of Italo-Disco as a word, genre, dance, songs, whatever in my entire life.
hahahaha......this article is for him
great 5th sept humm this friday i'll bring my best and most obscure italo's to cocadisco
the ZYK label!
The Guardian = neo-liberals = upper middle class people who think they're "down with the kids" because they once smoked a joint whilst listening to Miles Davis.
I've added a comment in an attempt to promote the Scottish Italo scene!
"italoBLACK every week in Edinburgh"
Since when has this been on?
italoBLACK has only been going for about a month but is run by William Bennett from Whitehouse. I've not been yet myself but it definitely looks promising.

Ok. I used to live there for about one year, and there was no Italo. Maybe just another reason why I left...:P
thegreatdivide tells it like it is
Fair play to Ali & Seb as that is some great PR.

definently man. well in.
What this article fails to mention is that NONE of this would have happened if it were not for a specific mix CD that emanated from the West Coast of Holland in 2000 namely I-F's 'Mixed Up In the Hague'. Long before fashionable East End haircuts sported by Barleys in skinny jeans, ironic t-shirts and sunglasses in nightclubs the king of the Dirty, the Brown and the Miserable released the Italo Big Bang. And Cocadisco owe their name to I-F's first LP as The Parallax Corporation.
And yes, the grim North has been dancing in the dark to Italo for many, many, many years, along with countless Italo influenced micro parties across Europe, the US, Japan and Australia (to name but a few).
Italo, the next big thing? No. This article should have been titled "London, are we too late for the trend?".
damn straight brother. 
Still waiting for Heartbreaks track about Argentine airforce pilots during the Falcklands
Argentine pilots preparing for assault notice the "delivery adress" on the exocet...
Thats an A4 Skyhawk right?
They should have talked about Falckland war instead of Italo history in such an interview

Falklands was supersexy! All those moustashes...it was hotter than The Castro!

sounds funny. Does he really Italo? Or is it just...?

To be fair, WB was there in Rimini on day one and has a big archive of very covetable records!
He may be over-fond of Baby's Gang and Sabrina but I don't think his Italo credentials can be questioned
