Donna Summer
"I Feel Love", "Theme from The Deep (Down, Deep Inside)"
Casablanca Records NBD 20104
Released 1977
Speed: 33â…“ RPM
Giorgio Moroder: Arranger, producer [A1]
John Barry: Arranger, Orchestrator, Producer [A2]
"I Feel Love" is one of the earliest examples of Euro disco (aka Italo disco or EDM/electronic dance music), relying on synthesizers and drum machines rather than a live rhythm section, pioneered here by Italian producer and composer Giorgio Moroder. This mix is hypnotic and trance-like, and very much unlike other records by Donna Summer and her contemporaries. This track is also one of Summers' most remixed titles, although they pale in comparison to this original version.
The record itself was typical of many Casablanca 12-inch singles of the day--it was pressed with two tracks on one side, with the flip side blank (usually pressed with a series of light grooves, not meant for playing). In later years, Casablanca's 12-inchers would utilize the more traditional a- and b-side pressings. (Discogs incorrectly calls this a "double A side.")
