There are very few Italo-disco classics that are genuinely quite as good as Mr Flagio’s 1983 debut, ‘Take a Chance’. It’s one of those that you’ll have heard out and about plenty of times, with the Italian duo delivering an alluring blend of arpeggio-driven synth-bass, vocoder vocals, sing-along choruses and addictive lead lines. This reissue not only features both of the original vocal and instrumental mixes, but also two new takes from 21st century Italo heroes Italoconnection. They first offer up a rock-solid re-edit that somehow feels fuller and more locked-in than the 1983 mix, before delivering a dirtier, sleazier ‘rework’ that blends some of the most attractive elements of Mr Flagio’s cut with a more driving Italo-disco groove.
