Here's another track for my radio-theme:

Pinto's Device released this one record in 1984, and is long-time producer Gianfranco Pinto and singer Anna Voda. It was her only release, but he did a lot of stuff. He started out in a jazz-rock group in the 70s, touring and playing guitar, then worked with Italian singer Patty Pravo (check out this amazingly weird video (in Italian), where she, uh, "performs" a song). Later he co-wrote Brian Auger's amazing 'Night Train To Nowhere', which I posted before, and produced various other Italo Disco tracks, and even house in the 90s. ( his discography )

This track is amazing. Of course it has this super-romantic radio theme, and you can't help but hope that things work out for this positive girl.

"I've got to leave my home,
I want to fly away,
Look for money and fame

Don't want many thoughts,
I'm dreaming of you, too,
Wait for me I'll come,
I'll catch you baby

I'll fly so high in America,
to be a radio star
I'll fly so high in America,
and be a radio star"

I love love loooove when the piano part kicks in, it's so Abba-esque (in a good way), and her voice?!!?!? That wiggliness and vibrato?!?!! Shit, this is so good.

Sorry I don't have a better quality rip. If anyone has it, I'd love to get my hands on a proper rip.
