This dude has one of the best jobs you could ever have and IS FALLING ASLEEP WHILE DOING IT. GOODNIGHT EVERYONE. -
Edited 9 years agoAccording to Mr. Valentini philosophy, gays are not men! (If you are man or gay). But still, outstanding record. 5/5

Yes, after all the recent 7-inch discoveries, this one still remains in my top-5!
-
Yeah, as far as i know the best 7"
Far away from chanson and pop as the latest discoveries are, after all is discovered ?
Music and voice totally in un-balance . but who can brew this this tunes ??
Italians do it better -
Awesome! probably the best 7" ( Italo ) I ever heard!
he indeed looks sleepy like hysteric said and sounds like he just woke up from sleep. funny english and unlike what hysteric said, imo it doesn't ( synth ) sound pure italo at all, drumbeat ( which is fabulous ) is also not that typically, mostly the snare he choosed.
This record should be getting sold in 500, minimum, not 20!!! so grab it now before someone will change his mind -
Edited 14 years agoSomewhat legendary italo 7”, the only recording by DJ Alex Valentini (AKA Guido Marchi), almost as famous for the cover photograph as for the music itself... behind his tinted specs, an unlikely looking DJ seems to be having some trouble staying awake.
The song itself is classic, strongly-accented alternating male (verse) and female (chorus) vocals with pure italo-disco synth action.
By no means an obscurity, but until recently one of the lesser-known diamonds.
It appears Mr. Valentini was something of a celebrity in Italy, from checking the photobook section of his website (which I also recommend for a taste of pure 80's nostalgia), you can see him hanging out with a veritable who’s who of the Italian music scene of the era.
The only shame of this record is that it’s far too short, one of the mysteries of the Italo-disco world is why no 12” exists for such a fantastic song, recorded by a DJ no less, who would surely prefer to mix it from 12 inch.
Luckily in the digital age we have some talented guys to make extended versions for us!
