My Italo Leanings Pt. 4Some new Italo repress action today. Steel Mind's 'Bad Passion' has just got another outing, so all of us too young to have lived through Italo's golden years can get our mitts on a replica copy. Those of you who have one ear firmly tuned to the ever-growing re-edit scene may recognise today's track as the basis for Serge Santiago's track of the same name on his 'Gold EP'.
I've chosen to post the instrumental version because as Ivan Smagghe put it so eloquently on the sleeve notes to his awesome 'Death Disco' mix; 'Proper Italo records always have an annoying bit'!*! While the vocal isn't really that annoying, it's a little too camp for my tastes!*! The instrumental strips the main vocal away and just leaves the vocodered bits intact to give it a bit of space-age flavour!*!

Hi
Know what you mean about the vocal - it's not exactly annoying, but it dominates just a little too much. Thanks for this - I now have the option!
Possible other Italo candidates for having vocals removed: - perhaps Big Ben Tribe's "Tarzan Loves the Summer Night" - do you know it?
That's not a track I've heard I don't think. Do you have an mp3?
er, yeah I do - and its great (apart from the irritating vocal in the 2nd half...) - but I don't have a hosting page - how can I get it to you? send it to your myspace email? sorry if this is a stoopid question :)

Probably best to send it to my yahoo account:

Cheers
