While The Bronx Warriors was Warriors rip-off, The New Barbarians (aka I nuovi barbari, Metropolis 2000; Warriors of the Wasteland) is Mad Max 2 rip-off! It’s Italian post-apocalyptic movie with music by Claudio Simonetti. Let the trailer speak for itself. It brings together the best parts of the movie.

The soundtrack quality is quaranteed. According to Claudio himself; Roland Jupiter-8, Minimoog, Roland vocoder were the machines used. Anyway, here is an edit I made. The original song falls a little short so I extented it and added more drums.

Had hard time to decide whether this one is cheesy enough to be on the weekly mozzarella series. I guess the overall hilary can be too much to bear.

Produced by Dario Raimondi and Alvaro Ugolini, both also behind the smash hit Happy Station performed by Fun Fun. Grandee!

In order to keep the balance between cheesy and srsly good italo, I’ve decided to put up some of the KynyNasty all-time favorite Italo-Disco/Hi-NRG songs. Love the cheesy ones all the same but in a different manner.

Peter Richard’s Walking In The Neon 12″ is quite rare. Discogs marketplace has currently several Walking In The Neon 12″s on the sale prices ranging from 40€ to 225€. No represses except that the I-Robots collection contains the club version. Lot faster (130+ bpm) than the usual 118bpm Italo stuff. Strong bassline, neon strings and of course top quality male vocals about space traveling! Written by some top grade people like Franco Rago (Robot Is Systematic) and Mauro Farina , Walking In The Neon is certainly one of the best.

1990: I guerrieri del Bronx is an Italian exploitation movie rip-off of Escape From New York and The Warriors with intensive and powerful prog rock/synth soundtrack by Walter Rizzatti. It’s one of those movies you gladly reminisce when you forget the overall quality of the film. Still quite entertaining.

The opening sequence in itself is top quality and much better than watching the entire film. One should stick with these scenes and the soundtrack. You won’t need to watch the whole movie.

The opening theme sounds like it’s done by the evil brother of Gary Moore.

Steel City was one of the first Finnish rockbands who also played disco.
In Finnish, this means “disco which sounds very much like schlager“, or vice versa.

Utterly NOT disco. Synthetic solo comes and rescues the song for not being totally lame.

The singer is Kaija “Koo” Kokkola, 20-year-old at the time. She has since blossomed into one of Finland’s most popular schlager / rock stars. Live footage of Steel City can be found at Yle – Elävä Arkisto. The song Stop is perhaps just a little more catchier. Nonetheless, Kannattiko Muuttaa Yhteen acts like KynyNasty summerhit ‘08!
