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!
