DREAM SEQUENCE - I AM A CYLON (XTimelord Dance Edit) (Sounds like the 80s)

Hello and welcome back.... I'm a huge fan of the 80s series of 'Battlestar Galactica' and a particular Cylon called 'CYE'...

For those that don't know, Cye sacrificed himself for Starbuck in the episode 'Return of Starbuck' (S01Ep10)

So Australian Music Producer 'Dream Sequence' with help from 'XTimelord' wrote this track.

See if you can hear a particular sound used by 'Michael Jackson' that was made by Dream Sequence on the 'Fairlight Synthesizer' for this track..
Enjoy

M - POP MUZIK (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back... Smashing into the music charts in 1979, U.K outfit 'M' made it to No 2 in the U.K and a slather of No 1 spots including Australia, Germany, Canada, Sweden and the U.S

'M' was fronted by singer,/ producer 'Robin Scott'.
Other musicians who played on the track were his brother Julian Scott (on bass), then unknown keyboardist Wally Badarou (Level 42), Canadian synth programmer John Lewis (who died of AIDS in 1985) and Brigit Novik, (backing vocals).

The single 'Pop Muszik' was from the album "New York • London • Paris • Munich"
Other musicians to play on this album include Phil Gould (Drums - later of Level 42), Gary Barnacle (Saxophone) and ... wait for it... David Bowie with occasional Handclaps, YES..David Bowie (He lives close to where they were recording the album and popped in for a cuppa*)




For me, I love this song... Its early 80s Disco meets New Wave and with the catchy phrase 'New York, London, Paris, Munich, everybody's talkin' `bout Pop Musik'.. Its hard to beat.

TOMMY TUTONE - 8675309 / JENNY (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back..... One hit wonder back in 1982 for U.S band "Tommy Tutone"

The song became so popular that people in the United States to this day dial this telephone number and ask for Jenny as a prank. Regarding the famous number, "We had people threatening to sue us. It was the Buffalo Chief of Police's daughter's number in New York," said frontman Tommy Heath. (thanks to Wikipedia for the info)

Such an awesome song, one that I never get sick of hearing... enjoy

TOMMY TUTONE - 8675309 / JENNY



OK, MY GRIPE
Here in Australia, we have to put up with alot of things, being ripped off from Apple (products / Itunes prices are like double the price of America regardless if our dollar is strong) amongst other things, and it seems were not good enough to watch videos.. Seriously??
I was going to put the original video of this song on this post, but no.. Its blocked
Absolutely pathetic. @VEVO

Gripe over

PSYCHEDELIC FURS

Hello and welcome back... U.K band "Psychedelic Furs" have always been a favorite of mine, hearing the song 'Love My Way' played thru the 80s on Sydney radio '2SM - Rock of the 80s'.

Their music was classed as 'Post-Punk' or 'New Wave', or 'Rock'

 The Psychedelic Furs (sometimes known as 'The Furs') consisted of brothers 'Richard (lead vocals) and Tim Butler' (Bass Guitar)









Other members included Duncan Kilburn (left 1982) (Sax), Vince Ely (replacing Paul Wilson in 1980)-(Drums), Roger Morris (left 1982) (Guitars) and John Ashton (Guitars)

The Furs released 7 studio albums to date and a slather of singles... Possibly their biggest break was the song 'Pretty in Pink', used in the movie with the same name ( movie director / producer John Hughes), this pushed a re-recorded version to No18 on the U.K music charts.

Songs I like from the Psychedelic Furs are 'Heartbreak Beat'(1987), 'Heaven'(1984), 'Pretty in Pink'(1981-86) and my biggest fav 'Love My Way'(1982)... Its pure 80s, Sound and vision.... So Good..









LOVE MY WAY




HEARTBREAK BEAT




HEAVEN




PRETTY IN PINK          (Thanks to Ignazio Deddu for the video)
