Wednesday at 14:474 days Thomas Dolby - Hyperactive!Frankie Goes To Hollywood - RelaxShannon - Let The Music PlayEurythmics - Here Comes The Rain AgainNena - 99 Red Balloons------------------------------Break Machine - Street DanceRockwell - Somebody's Watching MeUltravox - One Small DayThompson Twins - Doctor DoctorQueen - Radio Ga GaFiction Factory - (Feels Like) HeavenHyperactive! is so fun in video and sound. Relax sounds big, anthemic stadium rock and synthpop mixed. Shannon is very cool and ahead of time with that acid house style production.Here Comes The Rain is really nice orchestral synthpop I have liked for a long time. 99 Red Balloons I have also liked for a long time and when it speeds up is great.'Street Dance' is another good dance tune, the 'drop' in place of the chorus is quite modern sounding! Rockwell fun too. Ultravox One Small Day is another good track. 'Doctor Doctor' better than 'Hold Me Now' for me. Gaga overplayed but good, and Fiction Factory have a lovely, if dreary vocally song. Prefer the Dario G cover! Edited Wednesday at 15:354 days by TheSnake
Wednesday at 15:064 days RIP Village People frontman Victor Willis died aged 74. Trump associations with YMCA aside, he was a real icon. 😢. Maybe go for Go West for a tribute song on Sunday?
