🇺🇸 Donna Summer "Our Love" – 1979

Written by Summer and Giorgio Moroder and produced by Moroder and Pete Bellotte, the track combines a steady disco pulse with shimmering synthesizers and an almost hypnotic repetition of its central refrain. It is less about the dancefloor than about creating a sensual, romantic atmosphere...

Inspiration for the "Blue Monday" bass drum?

I phrased that poorly, but with long, repetitive pieces it's generally not the rhythm or whatever is on the foreground that deserves attention, but whatever happens around it. This record requires such thinking and the thought's seed was planted by the 12-minute Winter Hill by a✓: on To Each... (See above in this thread.)
