DISCO SILVIA (Album Version) </strong></font><font size="2"><font face="Tahoma"><strong><a href="http://www.flashbackrecords.org/samples/Disco_Silvia_sample.mp3" target="_blank"><img src="GIF/listen.gif" width="14" height="22" border="0"></a></strong></font></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><strong><br>
128  (M. Fruttero-C. Bihlmaier) 5'11&quot;<br>
129  Arranged by Andrea Cofrancesco.</strong></font></p>
130<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">This track has a curious story: It was created 
131  as a pure joke, nothing else: In 1990 a sexy French friend (Silvia Bagli) and 
132  I, decided to film a funny video for a ridiculous song we had made. That &#8220;primordial 
133  version&#8220;, already called &#8220;Disco Silvia&#8221;, was full of strange 
134  solutions, where Silvia and I sang and produced funny vocals. We laughed a lot, 
135  and then played it to our friends. Some of them found it funny, some others 
136  remained rather shocked&#8230;<br>
137  Obviously, it wasn&#8217;t conceived for any release, it was only made for kidding 
138  with our friends. But in 2005 I wanted Kimmo Salo (my producer for Flashback 
139  records) to listen to some new modern songs (serious ones&#8230;) I had made.<br>
140  I also played two old tracks we made for fun (just for joking once again). Among 
141  them the original, grotesque &#8220;Disco Silvia&#8221;&#8230;But Kimmo did 
142  not laugh&#8230; On the contrary he liked its refrain very much, along with 
143  some other sound effects in the background. He also admitted the vocals were 
144  a bit too &#8220;crazy&#8230;&#8220;, therefore he wanted to take the refrain 
145  and start a new arrangement. I had to write new, nicer lyrics for it (the original 
146  words were a real disaster&#8230;), then Kimmo asked his German friend Chris 
147  Bihlmaier to write some instrumental music to add to the vocal refrains.<br>
148  &#8230;But Kimmo still wasn&#8217;t satisfied with the final result. Chris&#8217; 
149  80s style arrangement, along with his additional music, were very nice, but 
150  yet the instrumental coda was too long, and there were not enough vocals. Therefore 
151  he asked Roman arranger Andrea Cofrancesco to rearrange the song once again, 
152  still respecting a pure 80s style, as the album &#8220;Fairyland&#8221; needed 
153  to be.<br>
154  This time, Kimmo was totally enthusiastic of the final result, and I liked it 
155  quite a lot.<br>
156  New &#8220;Disco Silvia&#8221; has been mixed in two versions:<br>
157  An extended mix for a vinyl maxi-single, and a shortened album version to be 
158  included in &#8220;Fairyland&#8221;: In fact, this is the version that has been 
159  chosen for the album. Final &#8220;Disco Silvia&#8221; has a nice &#8220;Gazebo&#8221; 
160  atmosphere, probably created by the influence Gazebo had on Cofrancesco&#8217;s 
161  musical culture (they are both from Roman background). It is surely a delightful 
162  result&#8230;! The track features one of my best vocals as well. The lyrics 
163  and the refrain are both simple, but everything sounds rather sparkling indeed&#8230;<br>
164  There&#8217;s also a video already made, and it will probably be broadcasted 
165  in September or later in October 2008.</font></p>

167  (R. Calzolari-M. Traversoni) 7'40&quot;<br>
168  Arranged by the <a href="Dyva.html" target="_blank">Dyva</a>.</strong></font></p>
169<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">A track written by Dyva and rearranged by the 
170  same band. It was previously released by Flashback Records as a vinyl maxi (Under 
171  the name of Dyva, obviously), and I later sang a new version for my album. Practically 
172  it&#8217;s a Flashback cover. It&#8217;s undoubtfully a catchy song, as some 
173  other tracks written by Calzolari &amp; Traversoni. One original thing of Dyva&#8217;s 
174  style, is changing the instrumental refrain for any rearranged ver
174sion, keeping 
175  the original music only for the vocal sections. I have never heard any other 
176  band or artist to work like that, and to tell the truth, I did not want them 
177  to change the original instrumental theme for my own new version (the old refrain 
178  was already fantastic). &#8230;But&#8230;they anyway did it&#8230;This new instrumental 
179  theme is nice too, but the older one was even better. Never mind, the final 
180  result has been satisfying too. I suppose the fans of Italodisco will be sure 
181  to enjoy this 80s arrangement, as those they love so much&#8230;.In fact, there&#8217;s 
182  one very typical element of the 80s in this track: The bells, and this arrangement 
183  is all pervaded by that magical effect that makes &#8220;Memories&#8221; a lovely 
184  and cheerful song.</font></p>

189<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">A track composed by &#8220;Magical&#8221; Joey 
190  Mauro, a guy with a &#8220;nervous&#8221; creativity&#8230;able to compose 80s 
191  style arrangements with an originality that distinguishes his works from those 
192  made by other arrangers.<br>
193  &#8220;Deep Inside Of Your Heart&#8221; was previously released as a vinyl maxy-single, 
194  but it wasn&#8217;t a success among Italo collectors (who generally buy Flashback&#8217;s 
195  vinyl records). All the same, I think it&#8217;s a very pleasant song. It isn&#8217;t 
196  exactly catchy like Dyva&#8217;s melodies, but it&#8217;s nice music anyway, 
197  and Kimmo Salo liked it madly from the moment he listened to its demo for the 
198  first time&#8230;</font></p>

201  Arranged By Maurizio Castellano and Roberto Gilio.</strong></font></p>
202<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">There are only two songs of mine that have really 
203  been advertised in this world of modern Italo revival. One is &#8220;If You&#8217;re 
204  Feeling Blue&#8221;, and the other one is &#8220;Darkness&#8221;. With &#8220;Darkness&#8221;, 
205  some Dutch 80s Dance collectors discovered 1986 forgotten Aquarius project... 
206  A vinyl maxi with whom the original version was released (more or less) already 
207  in 1986 by a small Italian record label.<br>
208  But unfortunately, distribution was extremely poor and it was almost impossible 
209  to find that record in any Italian shop. I heard less than 100 copies were distributed, 
210  and &#8220;Darkness&#8221; was then completely forgotten&#8230; Just after 2000, 
211  those Dutch collectors discovered a few &#8220;abandoned&#8221; copies in some 
212  Italian shops somewhere, and published a very positive article on &#8220;Darkness&#8221; 
213  at Iventi.net (until 2006 the most popular site for Italodance). That article 
214  was read by almost everybody in this field, and all the collectors started to 
215  look for &#8220;Darkness&#8221; by Aquarius. But that record was very rare, 
216  and each copy found and sold at Ebay costed a bundle. Anyway, the track gradually 
217  became very popular among those collectors, and, even now, it is the only song 
218  of mine (along with &#8220;&#8230;Feeling Blue&#8221;, as I said before) that 
219  is known by each Italodisco fan. That Aquarius version has been recently included 
220  in Summer Klub vol 2 compilation by 4EverMusic (Warner Bros distribution in 
221  Poland). This present other &#8220;Turin&#8221; version, included in the &#8220;Fairyland&#8221; 
222  album, is the original one of 1984. It&#8217;s arrangement is a rather poor 
223  when compared to final 1986 Aquarius version, but it anyway has its own particular 
224  feeling: A bit &#8220;na&iuml;ve&#8221;, as some of the Italo tracks were during 
225  the 80s. It was recorded and mixed in a Turin recording studio, but it was practically 
226  unfinished. We restored and end this version for including it as B-Side of my 
227  successful &#8221;If You&#8217;re Feeling Blue&#8221; maxi-single. That record 
228  was advertised at the top of Iventi.net&#8217;s home page, and Flashback Records 
229  could almost immediately sell a considerable number of copies. After two years, 
230  &#8220;Darkness&#8221;
230 Turin mix has been included in this CD album too. Kimmo 
231  Salo likes this older mix more than the Aquarius version, even if I still think, 
232  the other one is still the best ever.<br>
233  The subject of &#8220;Darkness&#8221; is a dialogue with our unconscious: We 
234  beg the &#8221;deeper part&#8221; or &#8220;&#8230;darker part&#8221; of our 
235  soul to help us to solve the problems that makes life so difficult and problematic, 
236  hoping that powerful part will finally come out and save our existence in a 
237  near future&#8230;<br>
238  The melody of &#8220;Darkness&#8221; is very wide and romantic, and listeners 
239  can surely feel a subtle influence by British NewWave. Therefore, some Italofans 
240  might say it&#8217;s not &#8220;Pure Italo&#8221; genre, but despite of this, 
241  it has been the luckier track I have yet recorded.</font></p>
242<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><strong>5. TELL ME NOW (Dance Version) </strong></font><font size="2"><font size="2"><font face="Tahoma"><strong><img src="GIF/listen.gif" width="14" height="22"></strong></font></font></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><strong><br>
243  (M. Fruttero) 6'14&quot;</strong></font></p>
244<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Along with &#8220;Darkness&#8221;, &#8220;Tell 
245  Me Now&#8221; is one of the most melodic songs of the entire album, and surely 
246  one of my best loved compositions. It also has a very wide melody, passionate 
247  and romantic, and the lyrics talk about remembrances of youth and the love for 
248  our friends. Without friendship and love, our lives wouldn&#8217;t have any 
249  value, and this song celebrates those great sentiments.<br>
250  This original version was recorded in the mid 80s, but it wasn&#8217;t much 
251  more than un unfinished demo. Therefore, it has been rather complicated to restore 
252  it with the PC: The drums section was still the most uncompleted part (it has 
253  been finished by DJ Dario Viale). To tell the truth this original arrangement 
254  isn&#8217;t really the best. I would have started a totally new one, keeping 
255  80s style, as the spirit of this album requires, but Flashback Records wasn&#8217;t 
256  really interested in this song, and I was feeling lucky this track wasn&#8217;t 
257  omitted from the final album project.<br>
258  There&#8217;s also a better version, with a modern arrangement, that I recorded 
259  in 2000. I included it in the &#8220;In My Dreams&#8220; Cafepress CD-R album 
260  of unreleased tracks<br>
261  ( <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/marcfruttero2" target="_blank">www.cafepress.com/marcfruttero2</a> 
262  ).<br>
263  Unfortunately I didn&#8217;t have any chance to release it as a real CD or vinyl 
264  maxi, therefore that Cafepress CD-R is the only release available until now. 
265  A video of that modern version will be ready soon.</font></p>

270<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">This was the real track that started my collaboration 
271  with Flashback Records in 2004. It&#8217;s a &#8220;happy&#8221; love song, 
272  with a simple melody and sparkling arrangement that is refined and easy at the 
273  same time. It recalls the atmosphere of an old 80s hit like &#8220;Neverending 
274  Story&#8221; by Giorgio Moroder/Limahl.<br>
275  This present mix, was previously released for the B-Side vinyl maxi with the 
276  same name. The A-Side featured the Extended Version, while this Miami Mix (it 
277  was in fact remixed in Florida) has been chosen for inclusion in the CD album.<br>
278  &#8220;I Wanna Live With You&#8221; symbolises my first attempt of starting 
279  a solo singer career in the end of the 80s/beginning of the 90s, but for some 
280  distribution problem I had, it was only released in 2005 by Flashback Records&#8230;</font></p>

284  (R. Calzolari-M. Traversoni) 5'57&quot;<br>
285  Arranged by L.A.Messina.</strong></font></p>
286<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Surely the catchiest melody written by the Dyva, 
287  and also the catchiest song I have ever recorded. It was in Dyva&#8217;s collection 
288  of unreleased demos, and, since the first time I listened to it, I was immediately 
289  captured by its music themes. I still wonder why no producer has thought of 
290  releasing it as a single before Kimmo Salo and I took it for my 2006 vinyl maxi 
291  for Flashback Record!<br>
292  But&#8230;this is a strange field, and all the most weird things are obviously 
293  possible. Perhaps the words have always been a bit too easy, but the entire 
294  track sounds so brilliant, that one can easily forget about any week lyrics&#8230;<br>
295  The Dyva were then rather busy, therefore, we asked former Italo star L.A.Messina 
296  to arrange the song with a pure 80s Dance style. People that follow this genre, 
297  really know L.A.Messina very well (He was rather famous in the 80s), and this 
298  probably was one of the reasons why that maxi was an immediate success among 
299  the Italodance collectors.<br>
300  Surely, advertising the record at Iventi.net was undoubtelly a good idea, but 
301  also taking Messina as arranger was really the right choice. The album &#8221;Fairyland&#8221; 
302  features the same A-Side version of that maxi-single, so called Extended Version 
303  and mixed by DJ Savino in Holland. To tell the truth another better mix (called 
304  Waves mix) was chosen by Kimmo Salo and I for the final album project. But just 
305  before publishing the CD, Flashback Records decided to discard that new mix, 
306  and reintroduce Savino&#8217;s original Extended Version&#8230;That Waves Mix 
307  remains unreleased, but one can have an idea of how it was, going to my MySpace 
308  home page<br>
309  ( <a href="http://www.myspace.com/marcfruttero" target="_blank">www.myspace.com/marcfruttero</a> 
310  ),<br>
311  and listen to a previous version of that mix. The subtitle is the same (always 
312  Waves Mix), but even if it&#8217;s not the final version that had to be included 
313  in &#8220;Fairyland&#8220;, the one featured at Myspace is rather similar, and 
314  can efficiently provide a fresh example of how it had to be.<br>
315  Another earlier demo version is featured in my Cafepress CD-R &#8220;Just For 
316  The Record&#8230;&#8221;.<br>

321  (G. Mauro-G.S. Arena-M. Fruttero) 5'12&quot;<br>
322  Arranged by Joey Mauro.</strong></font></p>
323<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Another sweet track taken from the &#8220;Deep 
324  Inside Of Your Heart&#8221; vinyl maxi (B-Side). It&#8217;s also the title track 
325  of this present CD, and it can clearly express the dreaming nature of the album. 
326  The lyrics, created by Californian writer Gregory Santo Arena, talk about nostalgic 
327  remembrances of a guy that has lost his family and misses his brother most of 
328  all. That bad past has been substituted by two &#8220;princesses&#8221;:<br>
329  His wife and the young daughter, in a magic place called&#8230;Fairyland&#8230;that 
330  gave life back to him&#8230;<br>
331  Those soft lyrics have anyway a certain relation with the author&#8217;s biography.<br>
332  Joey Mauro once again creates a fantasist game of sequencers that can delight 
333  the ears and make people dance at&#8230;Fairyland&#8230;</font></p>
334<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><strong>9. DIVERTISSEMENT (Extended Version) <br>
335  (M. Fruttero) 5'42&quot; - Duet with Anna<br>
336  Arranged by Davide Balangero.</strong></font></p>
337<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">An authentic and unreleased recording from the 
338  middle 80s.<br>
339  It has been remastered to include it in the album. It&#8217;s a duet with Anna, 
340  a girl that wasn&#8217;t a professional vocalist, but she used to sing with 
341  bands from time to time. Her voice was fresh and spontaneous, and Kimmo Salo 
342  liked her immediately since the first time he heard &#8220;Divertissement&#8221;. 
343  This enigmatic title is French, and it would mean a sequel of bright dances 
344  &#8220;to have fun&#8221; (the symphonic divertissement from the second act 
345  of &#8220;The Nutcracker&#8221; by Tchaikovsky, is a typical and very famous 
346  example). In fact my song would like to create the sensation of a dance series, 
347  where the only real intention is making people to have pure fun, to move on 
348  the wave of sounds and rhythm.<br>
349  On the contrary, the lyrics&#8217; subject is once again the unconscious, and 
350  the unpleasant presage of a difficult future made of loneliness. It can be considered, 
351  as for &#8220;Darkness&#8221;, to be rather a gothic atmosphere.</font></p>

355  (M. Fruttero) 6'46&quot;<br>
356  Arranged by Mauro&#8221;Tommy&#8221; Gallo<br>
357  (also known as <a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Tommy%2BBow" target="_blank">Tommy 
358  Bow</a>).</strong></font></p>
359<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Once again an authentic recording from the 80s, 
360  at least for the arrangement and the music. In fact, the music for the vocals 
361  was already written, but had never been sung at the time. The voice was finally 
362  recorded a bit later in Bologna, when I decided to finish the song.<br>
363  In 2004, Kimmo Salo wanted to make it longer (an extended version), to be suitable 
364  for B-Side of the &#8221;I Wanna Live With You&#8221; maxi. The original edit 
365  was much shorter. It is surely an extremely characteristic 80s danceable track, 
366  along the lines of Albert One or even Rick Astley. Tommy (Mauro Gallo) was one 
367  of Albert One&#8217;s arrangers, and this is the main reason why his work for 
368  this track sounds so typical. The words are about a desperate love story, where 
369  a guy is dominated and imprisoned by the cruel passion of a woman similar to 
370  Circe. Those lyrics were inspired by an original idea of Gregory Santo Arena 
371  once again.</font></p>

373  (R. Calzolari-M. Traversoni) 7'55&quot;<br>

375<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Another beautiful cover written by Dyva. Previously 
376  released as title track of one of Dyva&#8217;s maxi-singles for Flashback, has 
377  been rearranged for my album. Roby Calzolari has once again changed the instrumental 
378  refrain, but keeping the vocals as they were before. I really love this new 
379  version, and I think it is surely one of the most pleasant recordings in this 
380  album. The arrangement is bright and cheerful, and can donate an immediate sensation 
381  of fresh purification. It is a love song, and, at the same time can clearly 
382  express sensations of magic that the subject of &#8220;Fairyland&#8221; requires. 
383  It&#8217;s also the longest track in this album. Therefore very suitable for 
384  DJs&#8230;</font></p>

386  <br>
387  (G. Mauro-M. Fruttero) 6'05&quot;<br>
388  Arranged by Joey Mauro.</strong></font></p>
389<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">The final track&#8230;Kimmo Salo did not like 
390  this love song so much, and this is the banal reason why it is the last track 
391  in the album. I anyway think it&#8217;s a pleasant piece: It has a bit monotonous 
392  arrangement, so typical of many Italian Dance productions of the 80s. His drums 
393  section, that beats so much and constantly, was very frequently chosen in this 
394  music genre, first of all by secondary labels that pressed records only intended 
395  for playing in the discoth&egrave;ques or during private parties. &#8220;Moments 
396  Of Surprise&#8221; efficiently re-creates this effect so characteristic of those 
397  optimistic years.</font></p>
