5 MILLION READERS - A MOST EPIC MILESTONE

Hello and Welcome Back.. A milestone reached for my little music site. 

5 Million views of music lovers looking for some wicked music...

When i first started this site, it was just after a had an accident at work and was forced to medically retire. Not wanting to sit on my ass and do nothing, I decided to try and recreate a music show that i grew up with, that being 'Countdown'

Originally it was just 'Electronic80s = a place where i could back up all my music on a website that I could access while on holidays, ect, ect but share with friends

'Soundz80s' was another site, more closer to the 'Countdown' feel - new artists that sounded like they came from the 80s.

A few years ago, the two merged into what the site is today.

At one stage, I had around 10 websites with various ideas and thru the years, 3 sites remained, 'Electronic80s', 'Soundz80s' and 'NSW Radio & Communications' (my other hobby)  

So, here we are, I'm surprised its lasted this long with copyright the way it is.

Thank You to the music lovers who visit this site on a regular basis, who, love music as much as i do..

And, just think, if i had a 1$ from every visitor, I'd be rich.. hahaha

Cheers, Enjoy the Music

1983 - THE LOST MIXTAPES (CD Quality FLAC EX)

Hello and Welcome Back.. Around the early 90s, I made a set of mixtapes for each year, that I used to play in the tapedeck of my Honda Prelude

While I was moving a few years ago, I found the original tapes in a box in the garage. I forgot how good these tapes were. The blank tapes I used were 'That's' brand (Taiyo Yuden) from Japan. The only place that sold these tapes were in Sydney City, From memory I think it was Dick Smith or Jaycar Electronics (they were next door to each other) near Town Hall station..

Moving on, I have recreated these mixtapes from First Issue CDs for that 'Lush' sound..

So the year was '1983'... Take a Listen

Hello and Welcome Back... Love This, this album has my second most loved song by Enya (1st is Caribbean Blue), That song is 'China Roses', its such a lush, stunning song with an amazing melody, Take a Listen

 

Released in 1995, 'In Memory Of Trees' is the 4th studio album by Irish singer / musician 'Enya' (Enya Patricia Brennan) which seen 'Anywhere Is' & 'On My Way Home'. Kudos to track #6 'China Roses', should have been a single.

Synths Used By Enya
Roland D-50
Roland Juno 60
Yamaha DX-7 / TX802
PPG Wave
Oberheim Matrix-6R
E-Mu Emulator II / III
Yamaha KX-88

The layering of her voice is done by recording 20 + versions of her singing the same song, each version/take is sung differently. Also different microphones are used to various effects then the vocals are then layered to get a 'choir' type effect. 

Each album takes 3 years to write.

The album on offer is the Made in Japan First Issue CD in FLAC EX format
