Italo has more variety than some might think partly because it changes style alot during the 80s. The earlier stuff from around 84 or before very much fits into the new wave synth pop of the period. 84 is actually now one of my very favourite Italo years (it's probably my favourite year in British new wave music too). I also like 85 and 86 a great deal as well but the style changes, it becomes a bit brighter and less introspective as later 80s music generally did.
