Music for Us by Blackway & Helene obscure early italo disco


A super rare collectible from 1982.


Music for Us is definitely an unusual song.

Music for Us

Unusual pronunciation, infectious beat, hook-laden and spacey.  Kitchen sink Italo Disco.
So rare and in demand it was repressed and remastered in 2014.  A limited edition reserved to only 200 copies.



Roman DJ Carlo Favalli, who produced this record, died under mysterious circumstances in Estonia in 1998.  His releases came out on seminal italo labels like Jumbo and House of Music.


One of the writer arrangers, Stefano Galante, has appeared on quite a few of my favorite italo disco songs, for instance Mr. Master's Dog in the Night and B.W.H. Stop/Livin' Up (the best double A side Italo disco record ever).
