REISSUE: “Space Trouble” by Why Not – Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Why Not is Italian producer Gianni Salvatori (Matia Bazar, RAF, Italian Boys, Ross, The Nasty Boys) along with arranger Ricardo Eterno – their 1987 project “Space Trouble” is an electronic dance track which is similar to Italian acts like Koto and Laserdance. It is a fusion of synthetic percussion and wild-and-50’s sci-fi edged keyboards.

I have paired this Italo-disco track to the 1979 sci-fi horror flick “Alien” starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt and Veronica Cartwright. The story centers on a mining ship investigating a suspected SOS on a distant planet and ends up discovering a strange alien “terror”.

The film moves well with the disco syncopated groove and the wacky-voice overs – it is a new way of seeing this flick where “in space no one can hear you scream!”

The film was directed to Ridley Scott
