These #80s kids have a new 80s kids song coming out Friday!
Just in time to help us kick off summer with joy & sunshine & feel-good vibes. We're so in love with this one, and so excited to share it with you.
We didn't plan it this way, but it just so happens that this classic gay anthem is coming out on the eve of #Pride month; we can't think of anything that would make it sweeter. See you Friday!
(and yes, there are clues hidden within this post 😉 ... any guesses?)
Released in 1987, "Never Can Say Goodbye" is a cover version by British synth-pop duo The Communards. Originally a Motown hit by The Jackson 5, this version topped the UK Singles Chart and became one of the best-selling singles of the year.
GARY NUMAN
The Pleasure Principle
1979 Canada pressing
Once I finished listening to the John Foxx record, I had to put this on.
Gary & John are two artists that are forever entwined for me.
The Pleasure Principle is one of the greatest albums of all time, regardless of genre or era, and NO I did not stutter.
Without Gary (and John as well), it’s hard to imagine a world that has Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, or Depeche Mode.
Just a legendary artist. #vinyl#vinylrecords#synth#newwave#synthpop
Released in 1984, "I Feel Love/Johnny Remember Me" is a medley of covers. It was the band's first UK Top 10 hit and features the iconic vocals of Marc Almond. The track combines Donna Summer's disco anthem with a song written for Marc Almond, resulting in a unique synth-pop sound that captures the energy of the 80s.
Okay, I'll tell you, but stop begging - it's embarrassing for both of us and everyone who's watching.
I've obtained a Limited Manufacture Licence for some iconic music tracks to be released as an album of #synthwave and #synthpop cover versions on #vinyl#cassette and #minidisc
Now I just need to find some interested artists to join me in this ridiculous endeavour.
Released in 1979, this synth-driven track was Tubeway Army's breakthrough hit. It topped the UK charts and appeared on their iconic album 'Replicas'. Its haunting melody and dystopian lyrics helped pioneer the new wave sound.
The sun of Ukraine rises over the Donbas – and that's why my latest amateur track, which I recorded this weekend, is called "Donbas Sunrise".
It's a lo-fi production, but I hope you still like it.
