A new version of an old song; an old song, âLâAmour Toujoursâ by Gigi DâAgostino, made slower and more lethargic by a teenage Lithuanian DJ. A song about dreams, about the things youâve been waiting for, coming down to you, but only in your mind. A tale as old as time!In London in the Noughties I never went to Italo disco clubs. But my buddy Joel, a fantastic furniture designer, did. He told me the first time he went, as a teenager, he was standing in line outside, hoping to get in, and an elegant lady stepped out of the club wearing a silk gown, smoking, walking a ferret on a leash. Thatâs how he knew he was in the right place.DâAgostino wears a lot of hats. Often he dresses like a pilot. Heâs been a mega Italo disco star since the Eighties, his music gives the feeling of driving around Tuscany at sunset in a sports car. His âBitter Sweet Symphonyâ is sublime. The sound of Italy and England in perfect romantic harmony; Byron swimming to Shelley across the Bay of Poets.
