I love this transition period where many italo producers started making higher BPM songs. The eurobeat identity of Initial D racecar music had not been fully established yet and the songs still have that 80's production that i love. This period of music seems pretty underloved by fans of eurobeat and fans of italo, but many of these songs combine my favorite aspects of each genre. Chunky 80's synths, high BPM, Agogo bells, bongos, Mauro Farina's voice... I'd love to see some shared appreciation, so post some of your favorites!!!
