ABC - lexicon of love

Hello and welcome back... This album has a lot of meaning for me, do you ever hear a song and instantly you are taken to a place or time in your life.. this is one of those albums. When i was 13 i was lucky enough to go to my nans place and stay the weekend, mainly to give me a break from my siblings and also give my mother a break. I often never went to sleep at my nans ... I was too excited and often lay awake and listen to the radio under my pillow, often hearing the song "all of my heart" as i would look out the window and see the twinkle of lights of the city of Campbelltown at 2am ( my nan lived on top of a hill ). And now when i hear this song "all of my heart" it often brings a tear to my eye as i remember my nan and of happier times... Miss you nan.
Track listing is =
1 = show me


2 = poison arrow



3 = many happy returns


4 = tears are not enough



5 = valentines day


6 = look of love


7 = date stamp


8 = all of my heart


9 = 4 ever 2 gether


10 = look of love ( part 4 )

An excellent and heartfelt album..... CLICK HERE to Download "ABC" and more from my Mixtape series...... Enjoy

ARNEE AND THE TERMINATERS - i'll be back

Hello , welcome back... How do i introduce this next song ?? First time i heard this song i thought "what the hell is this?".. Did Arnold Schwarzenegger join a band? .. no.. this was done by a chap called Steve Wright who was/is a broadcaster for BBC radio 1. This song was written
in two hours, start to finish, lyrics , music and all over an evening..Not bad for a catchy song.. love it.

GENERAL PUBLIC - tenderness ( lost hit )

Hi, welcome back ... So... What would you little maniacs like to do first? Those are the words first spoken by the luscious Kelly Lebrock in the hit movie "weird science". This movie has to be one of my favourite 80s movies and often the music that came with the movie was what made a movie huge.The one song that got my attention was at the end when Gary and Wyatt drop off their girlfriends next morning after the party and the song tenderness plays in the background... It makes me go fuzzy all over.. love it.

THE FIXX - stand or fall ( lost hit )

Hi again ... This is one song that i cant get out of my head, "stand or fall" was off the album "shuttered room" and came out in 1982. Triple m in Sydney used to play "stand or fall" often but you don't hear it now ( shame ).. The guitar riffs are brilliant and the smooth sounding synths make it a great song ... also of this album is another hit called "red skies at night".. both videos are below..cheers

PET SHOP BOYS - disco

Hello again.. I have always been a big fan of the Pet Shop Boys, I think their sound is very unique which shows on this album.
This album follows a series of 12" dance remix songs of various albums, this one comes from the album "Please" and is similar to Introspective, although this album was released before introspective in 1986.
My favorite track would be "In the Night" with its pumping synths and meaty beats. As with Introspective, this album only has 6 tracks but is long enough so it doesn't become boring as the songs go for 6-9 minutes.. Great album ..




 Track listings are =





1 = In the Night ( extended remix )


2 = Suburbia ( the full horror remix )


3 = Opportunities ( version latina )


4 = Paninaro ( italian remix )


5 = Love come Quickly ( shep pettibone remix )


6 = West end Girls ( shep pettibone disco mix )


Love their work...CLICK HERE to Download "Pet Shop Boys" and more from my Mixtape series.....Enjoy

JOHN PAUL YOUNG - SOLDIER OF FORTUNE

Hi again... I was never a big fan of John Paul Young (not my taste in music ).
This is about the only song i liked which i heard on a compilation tape called "1983 - Summer Breaks".
 I loved these tapes , I wish record company's would release these on CD.. I would buy them in a instant.

The video for this song looks like it cost about $5 to make and makes heavy use of a laser light display with a few "Aussie" animals thrown in, for added depth. Love it.

FREUR - doot doot ( lost hit )

Hello again... Before they were "Underworld" they were known as "Freur" and came out with this one hit wonder in 1983. The band originally had only a graphic 'squiggle' for a name then when the band got a recording contract,the label insisted on a pronounceable name,and the band made the compromise that the squiggle was pronounced Freur. The squiggle is below ( you can see where prince thought of the idea ) aka the symbol.

This song was also used briefly in the movie "vanilla sky"... CLICK HERE  to download full album... cheers
