I'm reading a book on Brian Eno (actually re-reading it, yes, I can get obsessive) and I was reminded that the Giorgio Morodor helmed, Donna Summers song "I Feel Love" was a huge eye-opener for Mr. Eno. Seems that opening synthesizer bit was a happy accident.
Today the track doesn't really sound "disco" to me, (I was so anti-disco then, and not at all now) it's sort of techno-cool and abstract, a little bit of art-pop. Plus Summer's voice is just gorgeous.
And you can hear how the track influenced Eno, Bowie and Talking Heads. It was a song and a sound that inspired some of their best and edgiest work...
