I don't know if any of this is helpful (and I'm sure there ARE texts, but I
don't know of them), Giorgio's "signature" is that arpeggiated bassline you
hear in Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" which he tends to repeat in *many*
productions. When the band Japan transitioned from a yowling rock outfit
dressed in pilfered items from their sisters' closets to Roxy Music clones
(no offense - I love Japan :-), it was Giorgio behind the knobs with the
"Life in Tokyo" single which did it. Sparks used him to produce No.1 in
Heaven and (I think) Terminal Jive, which feature that 'sound' prominently.
He did the Midnight Express sndtrk and several others. Without him there
wouldn't have been any Bronski Beat as we know them. Giorgio was
instrumental in shaping disco and, considering Blondie (Heart of Glass) and
Berlin's use of him, he had a strong hand in another "feeder line" of
today's scene via a vis (ugh. I hate the nomenclature) new wave. If you go
here http://www.cdnow.com/ and do a search for Giorgio Moroder, it should
provide you with some items which will be linked to .ra samples. Hope this
helps.

Hi people,
I want to get a clear vision on the impact that georgio moroder had in the
late 70´s and later on house and techno.. Does anyone know a good text about
this guy? And more important -> can I find some sound previews of what he
has produced?
Sorry for my bad english today.. but it has been a hectic day!
Cheers,
Maarten
