Giorgio Moroder teams up with Texas
from Dotmusic - 27 July 1999


When legendary producer Giorgio Moroder heard there was another Summer project on the horizon, he no doubt initially thought a reunion was on the cards with his old pal Donna. But it turns out the summer in question was none other than 'Summer Son', the second of what is likely to be a string of singles to emerge from Texas’s latest long player, 'The Hush'.


Moroder, whose first big UK success was coincidentally another “son” tune – Chicory Tip’s 1972 number one 'Son Of My Father' – was asked by Mercury’s Scottish outfit to work his Casablanca disco magic on the track, which comes out as a single on August 16. And, just to complete the Moroder connection, the same single features a live cover of Human League’s 'Don’t You Want Me', whose Phil Oakey once scored a massive hit with the renowned knob twiddler.
