MODERN TALKING

Hello and welcome back.... German band "Modern Talking" formed in 1984, and was fronted by Thomas Anders (lead vocals, piano) & Dieter Bohlen (lead guitar, producer).
Their music often went under the banner of Europop.

In 1987 the band split up, but reformed in the late 90s
During the split Dieter Bohlen formed the band "Blue System"










Modern Talking brought out a slather of albums through their career, during the 80s the band brought out 6 albums (2 each year).
In 1985, The albums were = The First Album & Lets Talk about Love.
In 1986, These albums graced our ears = Ready for Romance & In the Middle of Nowhere.
In 1987, These albums were set free = Romantic Warriors & In the Garden of Venus








For me the song "Your my Heart, Your my Soul" caught my attention, swooning lyrics with melodic guitars and synths..... And the Hair, then again, It was the 80s
Sadly, Modern Talking wasn't that big here in Australia but I do remember hearing the song "Brother Louie" now and then.
Other songs that were popular in the 80s were "You can Win if you Want", "Cheri, Cheri Lady", "Atlantis is calling (S.O.S. For Love)", & "Geronimo's Cadillac".

A classic example of the best 80s Europop.... Enjoy.

BLACK - EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ROSES (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back.... The band "Black" was the creation from one man.... British singer-songwriter "Colin Vearncombe". Black had a huge hit in 1987 with the song "Wonderful Life", a moody ballad that reached No8 in the UK music charts.
The 1986 song "Everything's Coming Up Roses" which I think is a awesome song flopped on the music charts.

But we, at Electronic 80s don't care if it didn't chart well, we just like to remember so enjoy... Black









EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ROSES



WONDERFUL LIFE
