Flood by Delanua Super Early Italo Disco Track
Delanua' is Domenico Ricci, who later achieved great italo disco success using the moniker Joe Yellow. The tracks as Delanua' are seminal early italo disco classics. As a matter of fact Flood was only the 5th release on what was to become one of the most important italo disco labels in history, DiscoMagic. There are some real rock style guitar licks that are reminiscent of Goblin on Flood. In any case in 1980 italo disco hadn't become such a sensation and was still to form it's most definitive style. This record does show however that Italy was going to be a force to be reckoned with in the field of dance music in the 80's. DOWNLOAD FLOOD
The tracks recorded as Joe Yellow were much more of the poppy italo disco sound that was able to cross-over onto pop charts around the world, Lover to Lover and and Take my Heart are just a couple Joe Yellow classics. As Bob Salton he recorded the seminal spacey italo disco track Starknight which I have blogged about in the past.

The song "Computer guy" was a huge hit in Greece circa 1986 and should have been covered more by the media! The track featured many talented Hellenic names that went on to bigger and better things! The co-producer of the project was Vassilis Dertilis, founder of Power Music Productions. The lyrics were written by the International recording artist, Aris Tomas and founder of Wizard Records who also wrote the classic Hellenic (Den boro n'antistatho) Se Thelo and International hits ie. Beautiful Lady, Goin' Up!, ect.

HERE'S A SNIPPET OF THE SWEET TEAM MIX of Take me Up High.
An avid animal rights activist here is a photo of Bunny and I at a PETA benefit in Rome a few years back. I introduced Bunny to Dan Mathews in the late 80's and their collaboration the FUR is a drag! events have become legendary all over the world. PETA has aligned itself with camp and there ain't no goin' back.

Most don't know that Lady Bunny had a twelve inch dance single on Maxi Records in the mid 90's. It was her re-make of the 1975 disco hit by Sheila and Company Shame, Shame, Shame.
If you are traveling to N.Y.C. you can catch Bunny at her weekly event at XL in Hell's Kitchen.
