[edit] Biography
The group was created by Manlio Cangelli (composer, keyboard and drum machine programming), then were added Vince Lancini (vocals) and Fabio Margutti (keyboards), joined by Franz Rome (keyboards, programming) for the second album Pictures Of Old Days.
The band had numerous hits, starting with the worldwide known "Penguin invasion", "Disco Band", then "Delirio Mind" and "Take Me Up". The group's 1984 single "Disco Band" was their major hit in Germany and other countries. In 1985 they released the album "Evolution". Kylie Minogue's international hit "Got to Be Certain" was largely influenced by "Take Me Up".
"Mirage" was the next single. A huge hit in Sweden. Other songs were "Plus Plus" or "Money Runner".
