Well, it took awhile, but I'm back again with a few gems (thanks to Jeremy Kay for putting fire under my ass. LOL). The first is a synthpop Hi-NRG number by the Canadian duo of brothers Steve & Kevin Dafoe, with some early assistance by Massimo Rosati. Rosati was a prolific producer of Hi-NRG songs in Canada in the 1980s. As Never...But Always (formerly known, interestingly, as En Vogue), the duo released three singles: "Never Enough" in 1986, this track in 1988, and "Too Good To Be True" in 1990. This track was produced by Vincent Degiorgio, who worked with many other
acts posted on this blog and the Isle blog, including
Kim Esty,
Eria Fachin,
Fire & Ice,
Patrick L. Myles,
Pressure Point,
Karen Silver and
Fausta Monaco. The version of "Tonight" I'm posting was remixed by Barry Harris, then one half of synthpop duo
Kon Kan, and later better known a remixer Thunderpuss. "Tonight" sounds a lot like a Kon Kan song, and is reminiscent of similar synth boy duos of the time like
Bros or
Blue Mercedes. It's an amazing dance song. Enjoy!
