Range

"Give Me" by Range is a long and funky groove with luscious tremolo strings and punchy bass. The first break is a wonderful disco composition and every time I hear it I am teased into awaiting the chorus. It takes a minute for the vocals to kick in but it is well worth the wait. The team that put this together included Paul Mazzolini, Paul Micioni, and Pierluigi Giombini. Mazzolini, better known as Gazebo, has been featured here before and has an impressive roster of releases throughout the 1980s and beyond. Paul Micioni did some work on Gazebo's "Masterpiece" as well as on Gary Low's "Forever, Tonight And All My Life" and "La Colegiala." Giombini, in turn, also worked with Gazebo on the timeless "I Like Chopin." I featured "Give Me" on podcast 02, check it out there too.

Bandeaux and Gazebo

A wonderful song from Bandeaux, Black & White was written by Gazebo and Romano Musumarra and produced by Mario Tagliaferri. This production is super clean and the use of the stuttering vocals and signature delayed guitar part makes me want to listen to it over and over again. Gazebo is better known for the track "I Like Chopin" a whimsical ballad that was one of my first entries into Italo.
