In The City Tonight…
Empire – Big City (Extended Version) (MP3)
Released back in 1988, “Big City” is the B-side to the title track “Imagination”. I know absolutely nothing more on these guys, so feel free to shed some light…
Basically, this is one of those Balearic pop records that either really does it, or really doesn’t; I think Kev calls [...]
Where’s Yours…?
Raf – Self Control (Extended Version) (MP3)
Following on from the previous (re) post, here’s another Celso Valli affiliated track. A slightly obvious one, but there’s no denying that Raffaele Riefoli’s ‘Self Control’ is a total 80’s bomb (minus that dreadful rapping nonsense towards the end). Later ‘re-worked’ by Harold Faltermeyer for the Laura Brannigan mega [...]
It’s A Jungle Out There…
Gaznevada – Living In The Jungle (Jungle Mix) (MP3)
Released in 1985 on the Italian EMI label, ‘Living In The Jungle’ was somewhat of a big hit for these guys. The track is pretty much everything you would expect; tribal chants, jungle sounds, and of course, shit loads of synthesisers. Not quite up there with ‘I.C [...]
Start as we mean to go on…
Dancing Fantasy – Dancing Fantasy Dream Theme (MP3)
I was hoping to start the new look site with a track that had some sort of ‘get up and go’ title, something with a real ’start as you mean to go on’ message. How ironic then, that due to an incapacitating hangover, I really – for want [...]
And it’s burns, burns, burns…
the art of noise – moments in love (mp3)
due to our tv being on the blink and currently unable to pick up any channels (ftn being one of the only ones), i have recently become accustomed to the ways of the game show re-runs. now some of you might think this is a terrible [...]
Do not stop the music…
bombers – don’t stop the music (mp3)
with our recent bandwidth problems, what better way to re-start proceedings than to post a track that portrays our obvious intentions…
‘dont stop the music’ is a great take on kurt hauenstein’s (of supermax fame) already great record. available on their self titled lp from back in 1978, this [...]
Witness the change…
pete shelley – witness the change (mp3)
a quick track from the buzzcocks frontman today…
after major success with the buzzcocks, pete shelley went solo in the early 80’s. moving away from the buzzcocks’s punk sound, he hooked up with the oh-so-fun looking, martin rushent of the human league fame. with rushents pevious projects in mind, [...]
And so what…
caroline loeb – c’est la ouate (mp3)
finally back on line after a month of hectic proportions. apart from the stress of moving house and then losing my job, i have had to contend with numerous dumb wits at british telecomm, who decided that it would cost me 130 quid for a phone line, when after [...]
Synth you’ve been gone…
peru – africa (mp3)
picked this album up a month or so ago. released way back in 1983, the dutch trio, ruud van es, peter kommers and rob papen managed to get their hands on a ridiculous amount of roland synthesisers, rhythm composers, drum machines and, most probably, a shit load of super skunk. the [...]
