Raffaele Grassi - Eyes (Dig It 198?) A recent discovery and in my opinion, heavily underrated late-era mid-tempo Italo bomb. This is likely from '88 or '89 (given the "House Version" title on side B), but doesn't fall victim to a lot of those late 80s overproduced cliches. I can't really make out much of the lyrics but as is usually the case, that adds to the mystique for me. If you like Italo w/ liberal amounts of guitar shred, this is your track. It's on Youtube, go check it out!

Kriss - Hey Mister Mister (Lombardoni 1988) Raff Todesco's riff on Chris Rea's "Josephine", but done in a undeniable (and quite unique) late 80s Italo touch. I'm drawn by how good these drums sound, much more '84 or '85 sounding. Fred Ventura on vocals with a earworm female vocal hook. One of those tracks that I usually listen to at least a few times before moving onto the next.
