Giorgio Moroder: Together in electric dreams
IN THE summer of 1977, Italian producer Giorgio Moroder invented the modern pop song with I Feel Love, a dance-floor juggernaut recorded with (and credited to) singer Donna Summer.
Its impact was immediate and far-reaching – Moroder likes to tell an anecdote about Brian Eno bursting in on David Bowie as the pair were recording Heroes in Berlin, waving the 12-inch, eight-minute version of I Feel Love. “This is it,” Eno is supposed to have told Bowie. “This is the future.”
