A discussion of Italo-disco music:

What's interesting from the horror / giallo perspective is that John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 score and Goblin's work for Argento are mentioned as important precursors / influences on Italo-disco. It also makes one wonder if Goblin or Claudio Simonetti in particular ever saw an influence as coming the other way, from Carpenter to their work for Argento.
