SCOOL - DOWNTOWN LIGHTS - 1980


This is a really cool, early Euro Disco track written and arranged by a young Michael Cretu (later known for his work with Enigma, Sandra etc). Released 1980 as a B-side to Scool's 45 rpm "Roll, Baby Roll". The synth line tips the hat heavily in the direction of Kraftwerk. This track is like a good cheese, it just keeps getting better. Or should that be wine? Nowadays, what used to be "cheap disco" is getting more exclusive, especially in comparison with the crap mainstream music of today.

Anyways, this hidden gem needs a lot more of our attention. Let's start today!
