It's 1979. An 8 year old boy who thinks Abba, Boney M and some cutesy pop songs comprise the world's entire music collection is being looked after by a teenaged friend. The teen drags the kid along to a friends house. It's night, the house lights are switched off and a bunch of kids are dancing to blaring music that sounds completely alien to the kid. It's nothing like he's ever heard before, it's the best f***ing thing he's ever heard and he realizes how COOL, cool can be. What he doesn't realize is he's just had his first taste of electronic music - the man behind the music, 30 years ahead of his time... an Italian, Giorgio Moroder. Decades later, very few know him... (the man is now 70 and he looked like a mustache pete even in his prime) but very few have escaped the music he influenced... from fly-by-night electropop bands to giants like The Chemical Bros.
Presenting, for your listening (but certainly NOT viewing) pleasure... Mr.Giorgio Moroder...
