Today we will talk about one of the best electronic albums of the 80s, one of the Top # 100 in the history of dance music, Klein & M.B.O-Dirty Talk.
“Dirty Talk” is composed by Mario Boncaldo and his partner, Electro-Soul-House master Tony Carrasco, one of the most valued Italian producers of that time.
Rossana Casale is the sensual voice of the album, and Naimy Hackett is in charge of the backing vocals and giving Rossana conversation.
The instrumental versions of the song are very important, especially the USA Connection version.
I remember the theme perfectly, because I played it in 1982 at the Play Boy 2 nightclub, the year I started DJing in Ibiza. The sound of the Roland Tr-808 on the album drove me crazy.
Like so many songs, I had the pleasure of hearing it for the first time, at the Pacha in Ibiza when the DJ in the room was none other than Massimo Zucchelli, my mentor.
Call it Italo Disco yes, but the rhythms and bass lines of this track were a serious thing, they makes history. “‘Dirty Talk'” provided more than a few steps to get to the house.
“Dirty Talk” was included in the Pet Shop Boys’ compilation album Back to Mine in 2007, and in countless compilation albums in the last 30 years, which makes it a true “classic”, essential, to always have in account.
In my opinion, songs like New Order’s “Blue Monday” have a lot to thank for this track. You can’t say it’s a copy, but the synths and the rhythm sound heavily influenced.
Recently the New York producer Norty Cotto, producer of Minutemen, one of the great classics of the American Acid House of the 80s, has edited the track in several versions, doing a very good job of editing.
I thought of you in this ecstasy. Can in love so we be heavenly
Just feel my voice and you will see. Paradise for you, and me
All those feelings are so dreamy. I want to be your fantasy…
There’s another side of you. And you can make your dreams come true
Visions, of the love we knew. I wonder, if this talk will do
Now we meet in two new worlds. But here I’m still your sweet sweet girl
Just forget the memory, about the night we shared, a dream
There’s another side of you, and you can make your dreams come true
Visions of the love we knew, I wonder if this talk will do
Now we meet in two new worlds but here I’m still your sweet, sweet girl
We can’t go off through the night ’cause now it’s time to say goodbye
Dirty talk. Dirty talk…
