From Rivera's Groove Box #181: Charlie - Spacer Woman



Italo disco music is not your regular disco boogie-woogie. It has probably some of the most weird, but at the same time really fascinating disco dance tracks of all time. It was definitely more courageous than it's American counterpart. Even after disco music faded away in North American dance clubs and radio, Italo disco went stronger than ever. Producers were really open minded and tried new musical styles and technology - even obscure synthesizers at the time like the Roland TB-303 which many musicians thought was worthless because it sounded too synthetic (now it's regarded as one of the most recognized bass synths of all time). Love, robots and space - these are the many recurring themes in Italo disco. 'Spacer Woman' has all of it: strange love expression from an alien 'spacer woman' to the listener. Oh yeah, the blue aliens in the video are snippets from 'Fantastic Planet'. A french and Czechoslovakian animated sci-fi movie.
