Kansas' "Play the Game Tonight" successfully blended elements of disco music with the band's signature sound; the song's faster sections have a strong disco feel. Upon its release in May 1982, the song was well-received by both critics and fans, reaching No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Actually, most of the "Breathless" album was infected with disco.

I would like to mention Focus' 'Sylvia,' as, let's say, a proto-disco-prog instrumental piece. Released in 1972, although primarily recognized as a progressive rock track, if you listen closely, it is clear that 'Sylvia' has a disco-like rhythm that is associated with that era's dance music trends that further developed in the following years, leading to disco music as a distinct genre.

3 stars 1979: Goblin - Squadra Antigangsters (soundtrack) - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nxayFw6SQJ2tpplthw6Oz5-wQBf5m_h88

Goblin goes Italo-Disco like Sabrina Salerno - only without the tight leather trousers.

You can bank on classic Italian prog bands cashing in on the Italo-Disco boom, and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso are no exception. Smile

Goblin is a good call, I immediately thought of Tenebre,


Also, this super obscure occult euro-disco trio (!!!), also from Italy, who have a quite proggy intro to their sole album:

Hi,

Goodness ... I've heard this a hundred times on Guy's show and I never knew who it was ... insane, and that is so far away from their "jazz" stuff, it's not funny ... great track.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Soft Space is my all-time favourite Soft Machine track, mainly because it sounds nothing like Soft Machine. Smile

 3 stars 1984: Magma - Merci - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lCukWsfBpMoq1PE0W_1cqvGN4KNONro9I

Magma go disco crazy! Merci for the music, the songs they're singing. Who can live without them, I ask in all honesty? Thumbs Up

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
