Before he dived fully into electronics, Moroder was an architect of bubblegum pop. He began by mixing the two in 1972, re-recording one of his German compositions in English, and adding a Moog synthesiser; Chicory Tip’s coverof this became a UK No 1, and a football terrace staple. Moroder’s facility for melody and novelty was established.
Only six years after his first hit, Moroder wrote an Oscar-winning full film score. The theme to Alan Parker’s 1978 dramashowed that Moroder had always understood the sadness breathing in machine music, with a poignant, synthesised woodwind melody.
An early Japan single, co-written by Moroder, full of the same icy British pop pluck as 1979’s nascent electronic star, Gary Numan. It finally became a hit in 1982. Here, stuttering synths augment a lyric evoking “A sound of distant living / Locked up in high society”, especially in the disintegrating final minute.
This electronic dance-influenced remixwas so good that Coldplay re-released it as a single. Giorgio adds a pounding EDM pulse, house piano and himself on vocoder in the middle-eight, speaking about how much love he can give – in French.
The rolling, cosmic basslines, cascading Moog effects at the ends of phrases and synthesiser stabs helped invent the “space disco”sound, aided by supremely cheesy, space-themed lyrics, which Moroder sings: “From here to eternity / That’s where she takes me”.
Moroder and Raney Shockne’s 2016 soundtrack to the Tron Run/rvideo game is full of addictive, deep, dark techno. This is the best track, the sound of metal-on-metal and runaway velocity. On the full soundtrack, Autechre add a remix to boot.
Moroder, British co-producer Pete Bellotte and Donna Summermet in Munich in 1974, where she was singing after leaving a touring production of Hair. Five years later, they incorporated rock into their well-established brand of disco-pop and Moroder co-produced this still-brilliant, international smash hit.
This experimental electronic pop album as Einzelgänger – Lone Wolf – helped flex Moroder’s muscles for the future. This is the best track: playful and melodic, full of fluttering riffs and stuttering vocals.
A lost nugget of electronic funk from Adrian Lyne’s 1980 coming-of-age film, Foxes, about teenage girls growing up in the disco age in Los Angeles. A menacing, strutting minor-key bassline conjures up the mood of the city, before breaking into disjointed sequences of mechanical shimmers, Salsoulstrings, and punchy brass.
A late-period banger from Moroder’s comeback album, recorded after Daft Punk brought his huge influence back to the mainstream with Giorgio by Moroderon 2013’s Random Access Memories. The vocoder effect stating the title – reclaiming one’s free bus-pass years with renewed energy – is an absolute joy.
