Italo Disco Friday: Lindstrøm

Everywhere i read about the resurgence of italo or space disco i hear Lindstrøm’s name. So i thought i would check out his highly acclaimed first solo album Where You Go I Go Too, which consists of 3 songs of the following lengths: 29 mins, 10 mins, and 16 mins. While that might sound a bit pretentious…with the slow ebb and flow of the songs it almost seems essential in hindsight. This aint’ your father’s disco, that’s for sure. Here is a stream of the album closer “The Long Way Home”. Buy the album here.

Have a great weekend!

Down the Rabbit Hole: Italo Disco

It makes perfect sense that eventually my musical journey would lead me to Italo Disco, specifically space disco. I mean i love dance music, specifically dance music that is heavy on synthesizers. My recent interest in italo disco started when i first heard Sally Shapiro, Glass Candy, and Chromatics’ take on the genre. Earlier this summer i was stuck in a dub phase, so it makes perfect sense that the transition from spaced out reggae to spaced out disco would be next.
