"Double LP which as its subtitle suggests is "a journey into deep disco, italo electro and proto-techno" - from well known underground disco gems such as Barrabas's "Woman" and the recently resurrected Gaz Nevada track to lesser known tracks such as the Metro Area-ish "Stand Up" from Nexus to the italo "Personal Computer" from Doris Norton!"

some info:

Nexus
is a project of Maurice Cavalieri (Ago; Charlie - spacer woman; Firefly; Kano) ."Stand Up" is originally released in 1983

John Forde
I wasn't able to find useful info on him except he released a disco 12" Ep in 1977
He sounds pretty good so I have attached more songs as a bonus.

Barrabas
this Spanish funk-rock act was active from the 70's until the mid 80's with 8 albums and some hits as "Woman" (their biggest success) originally released in 1972.Im thinking about to bring here -at least-their three albums came out in the 80's

Gaznevada & Doris Norton
Gaznevada is one of my favourite new wave bands from Italy .So more info and discography is coming later. Other nice one is Doris Norton with her unique early 80s experimental -electonic works, also will be here.

Alan Parsons
is a famous English musician who worked with many artists/bands as The Beatles ,Pink Floyd,The Hollies, Cockney Rebel, John Miles & Al Stewart and released many wonderfull albums -balancing between pop-rock and instrumental synth sound- since the late 70s untill now. One of my next posts will be his works
