MR FLAGIO Schallplatten & CDs

Review: 
Italian Italo disco project Mr Flagio (which stands for Flavio Giorgio after members Flavio Vidulich and Giorgio Bacco) originally released their archetypal, synths heavy disco sounds in 1984. It has been reissued a number of times but always sells out because of the dazzling brilliance of the production. 'Take A Chance' has everything - the crashing hits, cold 80s machine sounds, crystalline arps and surging future bassline, all finished off with a big vocal. The original is presented here alongside an instrumental and two slightly more contemporary remixes from Italoconneciton.

Review: If you were to draw together a list of all time Italo Disco classics, Take A Chance by Mr Flagio would surely be a contender. Heck it should belong in the canon of all time dance music classics, irrespective of genre. Originally released in 1983, Flavio Vidulich and Giorgio Bacco's production work can be seen as an archetypal example of Italo Disco, all flair-filled synthesizer work, rippling drum machine rhythms and of course that deep vocoder voice.
