I came across an immeasurable Goldmine of euro-beat, Italo and synth pop for 1980-85 (roughly) in one. This pot of gold yielded alot of dance gems but mostly, ignited a "similar artists" recommendation list I accumulated just from their related links. There is so much to love about eurobeat, even though to glean such a library, it can occasionally (and critically) sound all the same, however those true diamonds amongst the placid sea of Italo are the ones that dare to be different. With memorable and addictive hooks, synth breakdowns, and vocal transitions that need to be heard, to be believed. Goldmine. The producers here range from Shep (of the Pettibone variety) to Ben Liebrand - talents in their own rights that revise and retouch, some already smooth tracks.
Enjoy.

And lastly, in a effort to highlight the myriad of covers of Frankie Valli's hit, 'Can't Take My Eyes Off of You' that took place in the era of eurobeat -here's the best of many.
do you find that unique's "what i got is what you need" is kind of like the other fox the fox's "precious little diamond"?
