Moved up to the front again because I'm pineapples crazy.

Maria Chiara Perugini is Clio. Guess where she's from?
Clio was a tasty italo disco double A side released in 1985 on Crash records. Superior production, great synths and pleasant vocals. GET YOURSELF SOME CLIO
Her debut single Eyes from the year before is even better. It directly bites my pretty much all time favorite italo disco song Come on Closer by Pineapples AND if that wasn't enough she seems to have a chorus in a made up language. I CAN SEE YOUR EYES
If that wasn't enough here we have a zip of Clone's re-release of Eyes along with a French Version and a newer edit....only one word necessary...HAWT!!! CLONE THOSE EYES
I guess I didn't realize there were samples in 1984. Here's my Pineapples zip listen for yourself. I LOVE PINEAPPLES For more info. on this gem just go to search above as I've blogged Come on Closer before.
REFRESHED LINKS (an anonymous poster claims that my file is not in 320. I go to great lengths to provide pretty much only 320 or .wav on my blog. I have done so for years.
TRY THIS ONE it's almost 15 MB so I'd find it hard to believe it was not a high quality file
O.K. I hate when people speak in absolutes. It's so fourth grade. But damn if Come on Closer by the Pineapples featuring Douglas Roop isn't the most sublime slab o' Italo Disco Vinyl ever pressed.
PINEAPPLES ZIP
It has absolutely every element necessary to perfect Italo Disco. The difference is that Douglas Roop, who was an American soldier stationed in Gaeta near Naples, Italy has a great manly voice. No cheesy poorly pronounced vocals on this disk.
And what is that persistent instrument throughout? Is it a xylophone? It sounds like one of those plastic piano's that infants bang on. Probably a synthesizer, in any case, but it's so hot and infectious it's chilling. It's like a bag of hot buttery popcorn!
Roberto Ferrante went on to have a career in Italo Disco but he made this record at the ripe age of 18. The seminal but now defunkt Cybernetic Broadcasting System listed Come on Closer in it's Top 10 italo disco tunes of all time.
1983 will go down in history as the ultimate peak of Italo Disco. There were so many gems released that year and I'm happy to say that I was one major punter of the Roman scene that year and many of these songs make me ripple with joy. They bring me back to cheerful dance-floors with great music.
