Ich genoss so viel der Sound von Giorgio in 70 Jahren, sehr gut!

[archangell44]

3:44 "I thought that the Cizetta I bought, was as good as the chase theme....Bugger!"

[Blacksun1942]

fucking genius

[H0wAboutSum]

why they are standing so close to each other, huh?

[rsinghny]

Giorgio looks like a porn movie director lol

[mexicovasquez]

So, I am doing research on Giorgio. The music starting from 2:12(aka "chase") is what I'm trying to figure out. Would it be safe to say that this is 70's disco pop. How about Italo disco? It uses the synthesizer a lot and the drum set in the background, which could be real or not. If someone can help me determine the genre of this kind of music, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks :D

[IveGotYourChange]

@mexicovasquez What you heard here is basically electronic or experimental electronic music, simpler versions (live play) on one machine....more or less like early Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze tunes. That version was a simple version of the chase. It was probably done on an arpeggio which basically takes normal tones and changes them into patterns etc or waves. The old synths like this were done manually. Back then your sequencers were recording and mixing them on large tape machines.

[sastal]

@mexicovasquez Look it up!

"Chase is an electronic instrumental by Giorgio Moroder from the Academy Award-winning soundtrack and album Midnight Express (1978), then extended and released as maxi single and made the Hot 100 singles charts in January of 1979.

Although originally branded as disco, the song is considered to be, along with Donna Summer's "I Feel Love", a pioneer of the hi-NRG genre that came to prominence in the early 1980s."

[TrainmasterCurt]

@sastal Actually more properly called Electro-Disco, HI-nRG was more started in 1983 with Trans-X and Living On Video

[sastal]

@TrainmasterCurt I typically do not respond, but this time you stand corrected. "In '77, Donna Summer was interviewed about her single "I Feel Love", which was a mostly electronic, relatively high-tempo disco song without a strong funk component. In the interview, she said "this song became a hit because it has a high-energy vibe". Following that interview, the description "high-energy" was increasingly applied to high-tempo disco music..."

[sastal]

@TrainmasterCurt "In the 1980s, the term "high-energy" was stylized as "Hi-NRG". Eurobeat, dance-pop, and freestyle artists like Shannon, Stock Aitken Waterman, Taylor Dayne, Freeez or Michael Sembello were also labeled as "Hi-NRG" when sold in the United States." You're stuck on the nomenclature. I just quoted. I personally spell it high-energy, and most people of the disco era should have caught on.

[StrictlyBG]

hes more austrian than italian. free south tyrol.

[FabioVolvox]

@StrictlyBG ahahah stupid, you like use our money, italian money...you are free. with our money.

[StrictlyBG]

@FabioVolvox wtf are u talkin about? Im not austrian idiot.

[rays130226]

this guy totally rules. One of the most successful artist ever.

[mexicovasquez]

DOES ANYONE KNOW if there is a way to get that original song at 2:20. It one of my favorite songs from the entire film. It's just so awesome with the disco and the effects of Giorgio's electronic music. DOes anyone sell it? How would you get the original song? There MUST be a way. Lol

[metallicsnakeblood]

@mexicovasquez hello! the song is Chase-Giorgio m.

[mexicovasquez]

@metallicsnakeblood Hello and thank you for the reply! I know that this song is called chase lol and that it's also by Giorgio Moroder. I actually have one of his CD's and although it has "Chase" on it, it isn't the original one that you hear starting from 2:12 :( Other people have been asking the same thing. It's like the most wanted version. I just wish their was a way to get it. Man, I like it so much! ANy help would be nice!

[luchoq77]

thank you Giorgio, grande maestro.

[lfo88]

[fertigprodukte]

@djtripplla ja, gibt es, allerdings nur als white-label (vinyl-only-release), und die sind längst ausverkauft. ich war damals schnell und hab eine ergattern können :-)

[fiufiu1604]

Simply, it's a GENIUS!!!!

[StarWarsFan786]

I love his Scarface Soundtrack.

[kostyanf]

On 26.04.2010 was his 70TH BIRTHDAY!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIORGIO!!!!!!!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #33 pop, #42 AC in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in Germany? God bless!

[UltimateVenom]

didn't know he could speak german.

[SplendidoSplendente]

@UltimateVenom he's from Süd Tirol, Italy, where they speak both italian and german

[RomelioSanzz]

@SplendidoSplendente Yeah... Moroder really sounds like a german surname

[SplendidoSplendente]

@RomelioSanzz well, it sounds italian to me. anyway...

[dalinaddei]

@RomelioSanzz But not Giorgio!!

[albedoshader]

@SplendidoSplendente: Ah, that's why I thought he sounds German. Although the people there - the aborigines ;) - prefer their pretty unique German dialect.

[SplendidoSplendente]

@albedoshader i prefer echt Deutsch too ;)

[albedoshader]

@SplendidoSplendente: I liked their dialect although it was barely understandable for me. I was there as a youth (in Völser Aicha, near Bozen/Bolzano) for consecutive 7 years in my summer holidays.

[SplendidoSplendente]

@albedoshader well I guess their german pronounciation is more similar to austrian. But maybe you heard people speaking in ladin language

[albedoshader]

@SplendidoSplendente: Nope, they weren't speaking ladinisch. I come from the Ruhr Area and it was quite hard to understand them when they spoke their local dialect. I could understand them well when they spoke "Hochdeutsch" which still was miles away from standard German. :) After a while it's easier to follow their chatting, of course.

I only know the Vienna dialect that's seems different from the rest of Austrian dialects. I found it had some similarities to Bairisch but still very different.

[SplendidoSplendente]

@albedoshader ok then, they just have a strange german accent ahahah :) The Ruhr? Dat ist prima! Viva Colonia

[albedoshader]

@SplendidoSplendente: Oh, Köln is in the Rhineland. I live in Essen, next to Bochum, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund etc.

The Ruhr Area (Ruhrgebiet) is the former industrial center and best known for the coal mining and the steel production (Krupp). But both areas belong to the federal state Northrhine Westphalia.

By the way, Cologne lies at the Rhine, not the Ruhr. ;)

[SplendidoSplendente]

@albedoshader Oh, right :)

[Stromschlag]

@SplendidoSplendente

Yes, Moroder speaks an austro-bavarian dialect.

That`s why he sounds in english a bit like Arnold Schwarzenegger ;-)

[stealthboy19]

Excellent !

[Max44004]

Un pioniere della musica elettonica !! Grande ITALIANO !!!

[moroder65]

100% agree

[Crazyforlng2]

genius!!

[crazysalvatrucha]

he then change his name after receiving the Oscar to Giorgio Armani for the loyal Fans ! since no more music was ever made , we love you Armani !

[tomthefunky]

Hollywood needs more brilliant composers like Giorgio. Where are you?

[naturecollision]

[gombie]

Well there's Graeme Revell.

[fdn100]

[otithelo]

I love the sunglasses!!!

Does anyone know the model of the sunglasses??

[MrLorisssss]

Giorgio Moroder is born in Italy

(South tyrol, Ortisei)

[milizia67]

Alto Adige Italia

[ReadyForThe80s]

Hearing German and watching him play on a tiny machine makes me think of Kraftwerk! - roughly about from the same time too, isn't it?

[misha1736]

his mother tongue is German, that is the native language of South Tyrol Italy. His real first name is Hansjoerg

[priapo2]

@misha1736

he's not german my clueless american friend, he's of italo-ladin ethnicity.

[suckerprod]

He speaks a very good german, close to native...

[sardhouse76]

yes, german!!! great man!

[LADYTALIANA]

It's german.

[ranirani1976]

what the hell language is that?

[sardhouse76]

german

[esseray]

german

[33trentiniAtrento]

you're such an ignorant...

[HarryPalma]

Dude!...that's Gino Latino!!

[Patruck92]

Absolutely the best Italian musician in the 20th century... and he was the least italian of the italian musicians...

[Tributemaker112]

Giorgio Moroda, together with Phil Collins, Yourney and perhaps Mr. Mister too the absolutely King of 80's music;-)

[84Summers]

Giorgio Moroder and Yello. No one else.

[rickybastardo]

moog

[bettadark]

hi is the master ;)

[fertigprodukte]

der soundtrack auf cd/vinyl unterscheidet sich von der, die wirklich für den film verwendet wurde. am meisten merkt man es bei den end credits. die version im film ist besser als die auf dem org. soundtrack.

[ozoshah]

...i come from alto adige too! :D

[ozoshah]

to be more precise giorgio is a "ladino",from a place called val gardena,alto adige,italy.(in alto adige there are three linguistic groups: italian german and ladino)

[jaapaap5]

This guy is huge!

[rusland1000]

Chase одна из самых лучших композиций в электронной музыке за всю историю.

[Caligula138]

Now that is a serious Mustache! Bravo!!!

[HanzSygnal]

fella at bottom left at 3:44 apparently wasn't impressed with Giorgio....HAHA

[billyb4223]

lol, never seen that b4

[sprintbass]

perhaps he didint like synths..shame on him!

[wapciu]

@HanzSygnal there no body leaving at 3:44... where do you see him ?

[Whyisthisthat]

@HanzSygnal

Maybe he wrote The Midnight Express theme and Giorgio Stole it from him

[thefg71]

@HanzSygnal ma va a cagher

[Utoobyourself]

@HanzSygnal

LMAO....He wasn't high enough

[25ch25]

@HanzSygnal He is the one! kkkkkkkk

[geeksrule17]

why isn't this on the album? This is the original chase!

[fijiboy68]

Its Father Sarducci!

[ghicaccatta]

he's italian but comes from sud tirol-alto adige... he speaks italian and german...

[mitsostsagka]

From which country is Moroder? Italy?

[albiz94]

northern italy

[csnc82]

These days the synths he used cost even more than the Oscar in the Table!!!! ^_^

[maxleoncini]

Südtyrol !

[PLANETEMARS16]

message a cent pour cent :  maestro henri a surmonté a cent pour cent l épreuve du posédé complet avec 7,55 a cent pour cent .

[Geenflauwekul]

Giorgio is the master!

[rasarx1]

Few other theme songs come close to this in terms of packing suspence and movement. The overpowering metalic beats draw the viewer in and captivate them emotionally. Pure genius.

[tamelanj]

come on already, enough chit chat. roll it. have always loved it. but what really slays me is the love theme from midnight express. i have the download, but i really want to see the video clip. if someone has it, please post it!

[omissis75]

reprise: bends courtesy of Yamaha CS-80!

[SynthieAl]

Wir haben "so ein Gerät" dort drüben "aufgestellt" =) Und heute kommt keine Popproduktion mehr ohne aus :)

[pullybrit]

You know, the version that was released on CD and iTunes is okay. However, the tempo on those versions is anemic compared to the actual version that's featured here and in the film. Can anyone clue me in on where to go to purchase a version that's closer to this and the film?

[lesoufs]

could be also a 24fps 25fps 4% speed up from cinema to video

[bigsaxman]

"Blacky" und Giorgio - two great stars in Deutschland!

[Boudosaved]

Who is the jackass in the front of the audience who folds his arms and refuses to clap?

[ClemenzaKimble]

Aye, what an ignorant old turd!

[julioclau]

is john lennon

[GottiDaGoodfella]

I think that's the guy that invented the green screen. He got no credit.

[legioninhell]

Und now Bobby und Sissy vill sing us ein songs!

Ich Liebe Deutschland !

[PoltFan]

Wieso ?

[dinesor]

[chilenoygordo]

"prominent guess" i heard? dad itz skön

american? italian? german? how cares? i'm going to google it, anyway.

nice film. john hurt (elephant man) played the english prisioner.

[venuecam]

damn he can speak a few languages

[SanktMarx]

Hansjörg alias Giorgio Moroder is Italian but his mother tongue is German. Südtirol (Southern Tirol) was a part of Tirol/Austria until 1919.

GM is the nephew of Luis Trenker, a famous mountaineer, writer, director and actor.

If you like GM you should also listen to Kurt Hauenstein alias SUPERMAX. He had a big hit in '78 called LOVE MACHINE. Listen to the Extended version. The 2nd half of the song is very close to modern club music.

[gherison]

probabilmente come tanti Sud Tirolesi non si spaccerà certo x un Italiano ma, ahimè ql zona i nostri nonni l'anni strappata col sangue agli Austriaci quindi che lo voglia o no il buon Giorgetto è prima di tutto Italiano...e questa musica ha pochi eguali al mondo!!

[sastal]

Meglio di cosi' non si poteva dire. Saluti,

[lakidj23887]

kick-ass shades and 'stache! LOL

[tangobob11]

[HolidaySeason4Ever]

Yeah, he was doing synth music before Kraftwerk.

I'm not putting down Kraftwerk at all, but you gotta give props to the inventor of it all.

[DaveODrisc]

He was truly the inventor of electronic music.
