while I'm a far bigger fan of the first wave italo disco*, the massive love and respect for the drive soundtrack prompted this thread on one of the genre's more recent champions.
they pretty much go hand in hand with glass candy (often difficult to separate the two of them), but i lean more towards the chromatics. they're slowly trickling out their latest record via several youtube videos with a very heavy late 70s/early 80s vibe. no release date for the new record, but with five singles, i reckon it'll be pretty soon.
here's a smattering of works past and present:
(dark day cover- almost unrecognizable compared to the original paranoid reading from 1979)
(rather impressive neil young cover)
*mid-1980s synth-tinged disco as influenced heavily by giorgio moroder and john carpenter & goblin's soundtrack work at best, cheesy-as-fuck at it's worst: see charlie's- spacer woman, art fine- dark silence, fockewulf 190- gitano for better examples
