1) Do you think that Italo Disco would not have happened without Italian Disco?
2) I find the claim of the Moog synthesizer, as a bridge from prog rock quite difficult to believe. Using this reasoning, the UK (home of prog rock) should have been the originator of UK Disco. What is your take on that?
3) Can we say that Baby records were the Motown of Italo Disco? Yes, I see you will devot a chapter on it, but can you give an early taster?
4) Do you play Italo Disco as part of your regular set - or do you use it as easy filler / wedding party playlist?
5) Amanda Lear is still active and, from your blog and Instagram, I see that Italy played a great deal in her success. Why does this part seems to be erased by Amanda herself?
6) Do not think too much and answer fast. Jennirfer Rush's version of "Self Control" is..?
7) Do you think that SAW productions (Stock / Aitken / Waterman with mixer Phil Harding) were extremely inspired by Italo Disco basic elements? SAW's productions were generally not as lightweight as Italo Disco and had more bass but, aside from that, I barely see any differences. What are your thoughts on SAW?
Wow, thank you for your answer and for such great questions Antonio! So much information to share! We will try to answer tall of them. Give a little time to address each one of them! :)
