1982 - 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 '1982'... Take a Listen

TIMELORD17 - 1983 (Soundz80s)

 Hello and Welcome Back... This track was a hard one to write.

Based on real life events, I wrote this song based on the 'New Order' song '1963'

The idea is = Dark lyrics wrapped in a happy dance song, well... that's the idea. Only when your writing about real life, some memories are just laying under the surface and then the memories (and nightmares)  come flooding back like a tidal wave.. Took me several days to get my shit together and record the sounds / lyrics..

This song will feature on new album due August 2026 called 'New Division'

TIMELORD17 - LEARNING TO FLY (Higher Than Before Version) (Video & Story Behind The Video) (Soundz80s)

Hello and Welcome Back.. 3rd single from the 'We Can Dance' album blends 2 of my favorite things, 'music & aviation'. The previous Version was a Synth Rock type of song (See Video Here)

The second version is where my love of aviation comes in. Being a slower track, I was looking for video to match the lushness of this song so I reached out to my local airport, namely the 'Australian International Aviation College' in Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of NSW

While they didn't have any video, they did offer me a introductory flight to be able to film my own footage. 

I was chuffed. I have never been in a small light aircraft before so I was a little nervous. The plane that I would be going in is a Diamond DA40 (VH-A13) and the flying instructor was named 'Ben'. 

 

The Beast (above)

Getting into this small airplane, it was comfortable and well displayed being a fairly new craft. The diesel engine kicked into life as we taxied along the runway. Takeoff was exhilarating, you wouldn't think such a small engine could produce the thrust needed but it does, and it feels amazing, as the world below me got smaller and smaller. 

As we skirted the coast, around 40mins into the flight, the question was asked, 'Do You Want To Have A Go?'

WOW, Mind blown as I was already fairly nervous. I took control of the stick and my instructor calmly let this magnificent aircraft into my hands. First thing you notice is how heavy the 'steering' is but after a few mins, it becomes easier as I changed from a death grip on the stick to a more comfortable grip as 'VH-A13' glided through the sky. I even got to do a 180 turn, nice and easy maneuvers while watching the altitude and direction is surprising easy. Nice and gentle while watching the horizon is the advice.

Must say, beats the hell out of Flight-Sim on computers..

The tight turns and the feeling of drifting up & down due to turbulence is next level. Has to be experienced to be believed, seriously, if you love using flight sims and want to feel the real thing, give the college a call (ask for Kate) and they will look after you.. Site is here = https://aiacollege.com.au/

Its a 10/10 experience 

So, enjoy the video, I couldn't have done it without the guys / gals at AIAC, Huge Thank You.. I'm still floating.

I SCREWED UP... SORRY

 Hi, just a quick message to let you know that the album 'Timelord17 - We Can Dance (The 'B' Sides) has a new link..

WHY

I'm a perfectionist, it drives my wife nuts.. 

This is also what happens when I rush things and not pay attention. The mastering of the album was flawed in the sound stage that made the song 'watery', well, it did my end, so I spent 3 days re-recording from scratch and after several hair pulling exercises, Then it seems if i have my laptop connected to the internet while recording causes glitches.. I am now happy with the result..

So, to the music lovers who downloaded the album, please accept my apology and download the album again.. Its well worth it.. Take a Listen

 

LINKS =  https://electronic80s.blogspot.com/2026/05/timelord17-we-can-dance-b-sides-cd.html

Album will be available on streaming sites shortly..

Thanks for you patience, back to regular programming shortly..

Kind Regards

Michael
