KOTO - DRAGONS LEGEND (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back....Every now and then a song comes past your ears and it sticks in your brain, no matter how hard you try, I wont go away... This is one of those songs..

Originally I thought this song was played by some Japanese dude with beard, glasses, hammering away at his keyboards.... BUT no, I was wrong.

'Koto' is in fact Italian, consisting of Anfrando Maiola and Stefano Cundari.

The 1988 song 'Dragons Legend' is a cross between Italo Disco and Spacesynth with 'Voice' parts from a 1983 game called 'Dragons Lair'....

You can find the song 'Dragons legend' on the album ' Masterpieces' This song also made it to No 20 on the Music charts (The Netherlands)

I so love this song, Its an amazing piece of music that wont leave my head, which i don't mind....
