Looking today at 50's-60's technology

[djmusicjac]

hi casco you are king of space italodisco, how are you?

[Threetails]

@djmusicjac I did this video for him back in 2007, sadly I found out that he passed away earlier this year. None of us even knew he was ill, I don't think he did either until it was too late. I am very sad because I was hoping to get back together and do another video for him this year, but I am honored that this video is so well-received among his friends and fans.

[djmusicjac]

@Threetails oh dear i am quite sad, i met him personally last year at his italodisco gig in glasgow, we became friends and sent each other lots of emails for a bit, as we were friends discussing his italodisco. I am quite sad about this where can i send my condolences to the family?

[mmrva]

What a discovery! Thanks!!!

[marikadetmers]

supa video for a supa track

[GonoManiax]

So Daft Punk stole the style from loads 80's italo synth tracks like this amazing one?

:)

Italo4ever :D

I knew him in 2008 in Spain as manager of Bobby Farrell . A great guy. Rest in peace, Salvatore, my friend.

[neomalx]

[sharethehouse]

RIP Casco

[AndyRomano80]

R.I.P. my friend

Absolute respect for you.

[Threetails]

@AndyRomano80 Can someone please link me to an article?

This comes as a shock, Signor Cusato personally asked me to do this video and was a friend of mine.

[Threetails]

@AndyRomano80 Erm, never mind. I found the article.

I'm pretty sad about this.

[kotep777]

@Threetails my condolences man

[pickpocketparty]

@Threetails where's the article? i heard about it but can't seem to find any info about his death. i'm so sad. i was just watching the videos of him dj'ing on a boat in 2007....he was still so rad!

[Threetails]

@pickpocketparty I'm starting to doubt it because all the articles I could find were blogs that heard the story second hand. I have contacted Music Control (his company) to see if they can confirm the rumor but the "goodnight sweet prince" comments have made me wonder if this is a joke.

[urkog]

[lionrec]

[TheItalodancers]

Simply incredible electronic anthem.

1983???But..Omg !!!

[skitch88]

who did the visuals for this? they go really well together

[Threetails]

@skitch88 I did these visuals using open-source material from archive.org. Casco absolutely loved it!

[2011PutYourHandsUp]

classic disco

[VoiceEncoder]

There is no talk-box in this...it's the Korg VC-10 mimicking a talk-box.

[jimbotron70]

@VoiceEncoder

VC-10 had a microphone where the singer sang and the voice was processed in realtime like a talk-box.. so what do you mean with "mimicking"?

[VoiceEncoder]

@jimbotron70 It's a VOCODER, NOT a TALK-BOX...that's what I mean(t).

[TrainmasterCurt]

I can't stop listening to this one! Amazing tune! Why can't anyone make good style of music like this now? Only seems Trans-X and Daft Punk still do

[deadlysin79]

ohhh..just love it..,.!! other oldies but goodies...:

Maskio - Dear Sir..

Clio - Faces

Charlie - Spacerwoman

[bunyqu]

good sound :)

[Elegia3000]

does anyone know what kind of talkbox was used in this track?

[knallfunk]

@Elegia3000

Equipment used for this track:

TR 808

KORG POLYSIX

OBERHEIM OBX-A

KORG VC10 VOCODER (not a Roland SVC-350 Vocoder as mentioned in some blogs..)

ROLAND JUPITER-8

TB 303

[TrainmasterCurt]

@knallfunk That TR-808 produced some darn good rythms and beats, Rational Youth also used it

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

@knallfunk

BRILLIANT!

[VoiceEncoder]

@Elegia3000 It's the Korg VC-10 imitating a talk-box, so no talk-box used.

[kapadokialand]

extremly cybernetic !!!

[serjozja]

Great!

[HGRKzk]

Wow, it's like Daft Punks fuzzy uncle.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

@HGRKzk

Actually, Daft Punk is more liek them and NOT even close!

THIS KIX ASS! And it's from 1983!~!!!!!!!

[ColeopterX]

Lyrics?

[Julian1686]

Amazing song. I first heard the Fakebeat remix and heard the original. Instant Eargasm.

[Aivottaja]

Italo FTW!

[tungt88]

This song, for me, exemplifies the feel and beat of Italo Disco ... a steady melancholic undertone along with the drum/bass/synthesizer lines ...

[koolfraser]

yes, i am ready for the cybernetic love

[TheDadsr]

daft punk and most ed banger records comes to mind when i listen to this

[DannyWhitten]

As recommended by Neon Indian over at Pitchfork today! Go Casco!

I've also just been checking out some singles, there's this song, Casco's "Cybernetic Love"-- it's, like, the seminal Italo track if you want to expose someone to Italo disco, and you want to give them that one track that has all the elements of Italo disco-- arpeggiated bass lines and drum machine sounds-- this track is just the perfect conglomeration of all those things.

[VernianProcess]

@DannyWhitten It's a great track, but I always give people "Walking in the Neon" by Peter Richards

[20SidesOfZeke]

pretty nice song, like honey to your ears.

the vid made me lol really hard though..

[DannyWhitten]

Cool video. AMAZING track!

[RiskierDeinBier]

Great Idea! Thank you!

[fery2]

Fantastic video, better than most 'official videos', thanks!

[efsq]

damn the video is amazing

[nycpntr]

cylob learned a lot from this shiz

[Rikstyle93]

Italo Disco!!!!!!!!!! ♥

[ntripod]

PERFECT!

[0Imtheslime0]

Excelent video.. Properly in time with the track.

[dallapadellallabrace]

Grande Salvatore Cusato....intramontabile!!!

Lello dall'isola nell'isola

[Vinylized]

It sure sounds like the main bassline of this track was sampled by CRW for "I Feel Love."

[kngofqns]

lol .. nice.. Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women.. =P

[looneyfarm]

pure italo bliss. thx for postin this

[adpny]

thanks for posting. really awesome!

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

did I also notice a clip where you showed CASCO back when he made this track and then you showed a gray haired guy that had eyes like his, was that him today, he must be older now................but I was not sure if that was an older pic of him?

[MyDiamondStarCar]

i heard this in a dj set by the hacker amzing song

[AnalogVocoder1]

Roland SVC-350 Vocoder and Talk-box

[AnalogVocoder1]

ht tp://ww w.crazyanalog. com/menu/svc350.htm

[AnalogVocoder1]

OOPS, my bad this is NOT the vocoder already mentioned. It is the Korg VC-10 Keyboard/Vocoder!!! Here's an interview with Casco: thejazzdiaries. blogspot. com/2008/05/casco-interview.ht­ml

Korg VC-10 Keyboard/Vocoder: images. retecool. com/uploads/behanger-Korg%20VC­-10%20vocoder.jpg

[VoiceEncoder]

Yes, this is the Korg. The Korg has a feature that can make talk-box sound, so there is no actual talk-box, only vocoder...the Korg VC-10 Keyboard Vocoder.

[flagio1983]

amazing! many thanks!

cheers from Barcelona

[drdugo]

huge eternal classic! and the video is also great.

[JonahsVore]

Five stars. Keep up the good work. :)

[Harst]

Fantastic Italo-electro song by Casco and great clip!!

Grazie mille for posting!!

[sebastianbotzow]
