Some years back I had the misjudgement to post synthwave on this forum.
I have since repented, and now present to you the real deal, straight from the late 1970s/80s: Italo disco
there's more to italian music than opera and classical

I must've spaced it on this post. Tis good to see a fellow Italo Discoer. I remember that stuff from when I was a kid but not until the last 10-years or so did I really start indulging. At least four of those tracks are on a playlist of mine somewhere:
Silver Pozzoli - 'Around My Dream' Lee Marrow - 'Shanghai' *
Koto - Jabdah The Flirts - 'Temptation' and 'The Time is Right'
Definitely a subgenre you gotta sift through to separate the legit catchy from the comparably more monotonous but once you find a gem, you can't shake it. That said, Mirko Hirsch has done a banger job in recent years maintaining that "real deal" integrity. Here's a couple samples:
J-Con.
* Yet another ode to that city in China.

Let's heat things up a little'
Back to the beginning...
Giorgio Moroder - the Giorgio Lucas of electronic music
as heard in Midnight Express, 1978, oooooooh ya
Emotional message: the foreboding, the mysterious/alluring stranger on the prowl, the unease and thrill of the imminent

Now for a French banger, which is a love letter to the great American songstress. Also an apt linguistic pun.

Huh, Vangelis' 1960s band Aphrodite's Child, released their first worldwide single in 1968 and it was called Rain & Tears.  |

Little did we know back in 1982 that this was Anakin.  Ah, he's even Canadian. (Ever since 1982 I always assumed they were from the UK). |

And I love the fact that Darth Vader is Canadian. That's just perfect.
Well, I guess 1/3 Canadian, but you know what I mean.

I think I may have just heard that song for my first time yesterday, as you were posting this, while watching a video on hits in Europe for 1982.
1982 was such a great year for music, movies and tv. Toys, too. Even sports. But not Tylenol.

The Force works in mysterious ways 
This live performance in Spain is better, it's freaking electric. And Romina is looking stun-ning.
