yeah i'd agree with that - lots of the early italo stuff had its origins in background music.......simonetti was behind some of the goblin,tenebre series as well as a b-grade movie called college from 81(?) which was also a big chi-town dancefloor bomb...of course moroder did alot of work for film also......maurizio dami (alexander robotnick) also wrote some production/mood/library music (used as background music in ads/movies etc) for the italian Primrose label in the 80s...... rc on 4/8/03 9:31 PM, Cobert, Gwendal at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
