Fancy - Come Inside (1984)

One of the seminal records defining an obscure musical trend and sub-genre from the late 80's and early 90's: "Asian New Wave".


For awhile, at least in NYC but probably elsewhere on the planet, Asians, especially Chinese and Koreans, where going to and throwing parties with a musical emphasis on Italo Disco, some Hi-NRG stuff, and of course large helpings of Depeche Mode and similar, poppy electro-dance stuff. This formula is still going strong, but is "below the radar" to those of us who aren't Asian and/or still in college. Noticeably absent from this "sound" is much of anything really funky or soulful, like House, Disco, Funk or Hip-hop. Despite the title track's historical importance, the winner here is on the flip side: "Come Inside" extended remix. Throbbing, mid-tempo and with a rich, powerful bass-line, this "sleaze" masterpiece will satisfy fans of Koto and similar flavors of Italo disco.
