LYRICS

Saw you flying by
Flash of Turquoise Blue
I just had to try
To keep your life in view

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise

Wish that I could fly
I'd be beside you now
But I can only sigh
And watch you circle round

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise

So you fly away
When will you come again
So I can watch you play
In the pouring rain

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise

HIT LIST - INTO THE FIRE

From the U.K came this wicked track...

Decent beat with slathering of guitar twangs leave you wanting more. From 1986.

Rumor has it, Into the Fire was released in 1985 but Virgin records pulled it from airplay because of a nasty fire broke out in Bradford City football stadium, U.K killing 56 people.
Record execs deemed it insensitive and pulled the track.

A year later it was re-released.

A rare hit...

These songs kick ass with driving beats, lush guitars and melodic synths.

Have a listen, see what you think...

This video was filmed in 1991 at the Phoenician Club in Sydney, NSW (Australia)

Pump up the volume :)

FUTURE WORLD ORCHESTRA - I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE FUTURE

Hello and welcome back....

Who's afraid of the future?.... Not these guys, well, that was back in 1982.

From the dutch Synth group 'Future World Orchestra' came this trippy little number called 'I'm not afraid of the Future' which was released in 1982...  It made it to No 26 in the top 40 music charts.
I'm not afraid of the Future was from the album 'Mission Completed' by Dureco Benelux records.

Future World Orchestra used a number of Synthesizers in their music including the Arp2600, Korg-3100, Korg-MS20, Polymoog & the Arp Sequencer.
They were inspired by bands like Genesis, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Yes.

Enjoy some rare early Synth from Future World Orchestra...

DAVID BOWIE - DEAD AT 69

Hello and welcome back for another year...

Starts with a sad note with the death of music icon 'David Bowie' who passed away on 10th January 2016 from liver cancer

The master of re-invention was diagnosed 18 months ago but managed to keep it a secret from fans which shocked many (including me) with the news of his death.

The impact of what David Bowie had on the music industry was huge, actually, that's a understatement.

The influence on many guitarists, synth players, or any musician of the 70/80s nearly all stated they were influenced by non other than David Bowie.

The early 80s New Romantic / New Wave movement was one of the most influenced, not just by his music but also his fashion sense and the uncanny knack of being able to 'look to the future / look like the future'

On a personal note, I was particularly fond of Bowie's 1983 album 'Lets Dance' which spawned the tracks China Girl, Modern Love & Lets Dance.
Summer, 1983, lounging besides the swimming pool at my girlfriends place listening to radio station 2SM (Rock of the 80s) with Bowie's 'Modern Love' pumping from the speakers.... Life was such an amazing feeling back then, something i will never forget.

Such a sad loss...

R.I.P David Bowie (David Robert Jones)
