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.

Right you are. That's what happens when you get old and your memory is so

Fw: [313] georgio moroder

2002-02-05 Thread Michael D Tyrer
the number of Gerorgio moroder responses prompted me to share what i had
sent Maarten off board.

There was a huge gang of us who went 'clubbing' if you could call it that
during 1974/76 and we had a fixed routine - the only chemical was amyl
nitrate bought illegally from a chemist in picadilly circus:

Monday - Busbys : Charing Cross Road - was a gay club open till about 3.00
in wots now the mean fiddler
Tuesdays - Crystal Palace Hotel, right on the round-about at Crystal Palace
(Does anyone remember the this?
Thursdays - Ripples (It was somewhere around the avenue where the Sounshaft
now is).  I always remember Jonathan Richman   Modern Lovers Egyptian
Reggae from this club - whenever i hear the tune thats my memory.
Fridays - Was Louises Poland Street - Normally a lesbian club but taken over
by SexPistols  Friends and surprisingly a huge legion of people from Radio
Luxembourg
Saturdays - Global Village:  (I remember Boy George about 15!) Huh!
Sundays - Crystal Palace Hotel Again.

sorry ... all very un-313 but reminisces ..
yeah, i'm that old and still out two to three times a week (couldnt do 6
nights anymore).
luv-it!

 Hi Maarten
 i can only tell you huge
 sorry not to be able to point you at any text

 i have the original donna summer 'i feel love' from 1976 sitting here
 and can tell you that around the time this first came out the whole impact
 of clubbing changed massively
 here in the UK.  It was predomiantly in the gay-clubs that this was being
 heard
 and i'm sure there were earlier productions from about 1975 of his.
 I remember there being a huge change from disco to club sound in 1976
 and have always felt that this and the diana ross epics of the time were
 part of the main influence.

 There was a huge up-change in tempo and mixing started to happen
 The only straight club i remember picking up with all around the same time
 (75)
 was Global Village and a club on the back Ripples or something.

 Funnily enough, Punk Rock, also had its part to play in a non-stop mix
 sound.  It was in the punk clubs that mixed sound also started to happen.
I
 remember around the same time as Global Village was happening a punk night
 which started in a club in Poland Street called Louises (normally a
lesbian
 club)frequented by sex pistols, billy idol

 just some reminisces
 regards

[313] Georgio Moroder

2002-02-05 Thread Michael D Tyrer
a whole site dedicated to the guy
http://www.dj-empire.com/morobe.htm

his biog :
Born in 1940 in Ortisei, Italy, Giorgio Moroder played guitar in small night
clubs and theatres across half of Europe at the age of 19 before settling
down in Berlin in 1967 to start his great career as a producer and composer
in a somewhat unorthodox way: he wrote German schlager songs, and landed his
first hit after just 6 months. He worked with singers like Michael Holm and
Ricky Shayne and was soon an established composer on the schlager scene.


Having shown at an early stage that he had an extraordinary instinct for
mass audience appeal, Moroder started work as a producer after a spell at
the Musicland Studios in Munich; by this time, it was clear that Giorgio
Moroder did not crank out hits to a formula, but always let his intuition
guide him. It was not long before he had mastered and integrated all the new
studio technology.

Moroder, who always dreamed of an American sound in Motown style, chose the
bubblegum wave of 1969 as his launch-pad onto the international stage for a
song he had not only composed and produced himself, but which for the first
time featured English lyrics: the single Lookie Lookie was well received
in Holland, Spain and France. Then the album with Pete Bellote, who has been
his permanent partner since 1970, Chicory Tip - Son of my Father became a
smash hit in England.

His really big breakthrough, however, came with Donna Summer, who had
initially auditioned as a background singer for Moroder and Bellote at the
end of 1975: just 6 months later her interpretation of The Hostage climbed
to the top of the Dutch and French charts. After the album Lady of the
Night the trio recorded a not entirely serious track inspired by Serge
Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin's steamy hit Je t'aime, adding more than a
pinch of sex themselves. Love to love you Baby was initially a flop as a
single, but when Moroder had the brilliant idea of extending the track into
a 17-minute disco symphony and releasing it as an album, the whole world
wanted to make love with Donna. Love to love you Baby was the first
worldwide disco hit - the decisive breakthrough for disco music in general
and one of the most frequently copied and sampled pieces of dance music ever
recorded.

As a result of this enormous success, Moroder, Bellote and Summer reached
their creative climax in the mid-70s and released one record after another
in a very short space of time: after the concept albums A Love Triology
and Four Seasons Of Love (both 1976), the I Remember Yesterday LP was
released in 1977 featuring the unbelievable I Feel Love with its famous
galloping bass line, fiery electronic percussion and futuristically polished
production, all of which contributed to giving the track the status of an
unforgettable disco anthem.


The Moroder/Bellote/Summer team released two more albums, one of them Bad
Girls with its chart single Hot Stuff. However, with an Oscar to his
credit for the soundtrack to the Alan Parker Film Midnight Express in
1978, Moroder increasingly turned, at the beginning of the 1980s, to
composing and producing film music.

In addition to Flashdance - whose title song What A Feeling gained him
another Oscar in 1983 - the best-known of his 40 soundtracks are those for
American Gigolo, Scarface, Top Gun and his exciting and daring
electro-pop re-setting of Fritz Lang's silent movie classic Metropolis.
Moroder has also written the official songs for two Olympic Games and the
soccer World Cup. In the 1980s he produced bands like Sigue Sigue Sputnik
and went into the remixing business with the Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams.

As if that was not enough, Moroder has exhibited his sculptures at numerous
exhibitions and has designed a sports car which has won several awards.
