Giorgio Moroder Rarities Free on SoundCloud; The Most Interesting Electronic Man in the World?
“I don’t always make music by the pool, but when I do, I use Roland.” Like a boss: Giorgio Moroder.
He’s been called the father of disco. He has Oscars for Top Gun, Flashdance, and Midnight Express. (Impressive with or without Oscars.) And he scored the epic of 80s youth childhood, The Never-Ending Story – and the original Battlestar Galactica. He’s worked with Bowie, and Freddy Mercury, and Blondie. He’s a pioneer in composing for electronic music, but he’s also earned honors for automotive engineering, with a hand in developing
his own 16-cylinder sports car. Even the man’s mustache is legendary.
Giorgio Moroder is obviously a very smart man. And so he’s smart enough to use SoundCloud to earn yet more fans, to circumvent the tangles of obscurity and get rarities and remixes out into the world. Okay, it’s not quite on the level of squeezing out new levels of Italian automobile performance, but smart people are smart enough to do the obvious, too.
Let’s give the goodness a listen, shall we? Streaming only, but – okay, Mr. Moroder, let’s see your move for physical and download distribution next. And hirsute facial hair care. Because, I’m not joking: you’re one of our heroes.

Yes yes! Man's an OG Don.
Listening to the whole thing now, pretty amazing to consider what this dude was doing in 1969, 1975... and there's a bunch of choice super-eighties sounding tidbits that got omitted from the 'Scarface' soundtrack.
This isn't one of those but it's my favorite so far...

Fucking yes. 'Chase' is still one of my favourite tracks, got it on wax on an old Midnight Express soundtrack (sick film by the way). Amazing what the guy was doing all that time ago with all those hench hardware desks. Don.
