UTAH SAINTS - utah saints

Hello and welcome back... Drifting slightly outside the 80s, I thought i would share with you one of my most loved albums.The "Utah Saints" were famous for using snippets of other people's songs in their music ( sampling ) and were very good at it. I remember my clubbing days ( kinda hazy ) and hearing this song being pumped out across the dance floor... that song was "something good" with the backing track being "Kate Bush - cloudbusting". In 2008 this song was re-released with one of the best video clips I've seen ( ft the running man ).. Other songs on this album are "what can you do for me", "i want you", "something good" and "new gold dream" which is my pick of the album with the backing track from "simple minds"... being a huge "simple minds" fan, couldn't go past it... deserves to be played loud..

TOM TOM CLUB - wordy rappinghood ( lost hit )

Hello and welcome back... Taking their name from a dance-hall in the Bahamas, the "Tom Tom Club" were a compilation of 2 members of the "talking heads" and other various musician and sound engineers. For me personally its a great song to listen to with headphones as the funky synths seem to dance around your head. Wordy Rappinghood came of the album with the same name ( Tom Tom Club ) and also had the hit "Genius of love" .... the rest of the album doesn't seem to make sense to me, but other people may like it.. Love the album artwork, something that is lacking with today's artists.. Enjoy

REAL LIFE - heartland

Hello and welcome back... Known as the haircut bands ( kids in the kitchen, pseudo echo, dear enemy ) "Real Life" burst onto the music scene with big hair and a huge hit called "Send me an Angel". It was a snappy new wave/ synthpop song that launched them into the spotlight. For me I was in heaven ... I loved this type of music and it put many aussie bands on the map.. The pub/ club scene was massive and often sorted the boys from the men, and these new haircut bands could really show what they were made of ( haircut bands because many of them were hairdressers by day, musicians by night ).
Heartland was released in 1983 and had the hits "Send me an Angel", "Always" , "Openhearted" and my pick of the album "Catch me i'm falling" with its punchy electric drums and sweeping synths.. this is one brilliant album.
Track listings are =

1= Send me an Angel


2 = Catch me i'm Falling

3 = under the hammer


4 = heartland


5 = breaking point


6 = broken again


7 = always ( live ) not on album


8 = openhearted


9 = exploding bullets ( from "savage streets" soundtrack )


10 = burning blue

THE ADVENTURES - theodore and friends

Hello and welcome back... Irish band "the adventures" have been a personal favorite of mine since i brought this album back in 1987 ( when i had money )... They are not that well know in Australia but deserve excellent recognition for this album. Set free in 1985,"theodore and friends" had a slathering of excellent songs including "always", "feel the raindrops", "don't tell me", "another silent day", "love in chains", and my pick of the album.. "send my heart", with it's melodic synths and twangy guitars, its a feel good song. The whole album is like folk meets rock meets electronic... a bit of everything. Enjoy.
Track listing =

1 = always


2 = feel the raindrops


3 = send my heart


4 = two rivers

PATRICK HERNANDEZ - born to be alive ( lost hit )

Hello and welcome back... This song has to be one of the best party starters I know, Have a few drinks and this is a catchy song that you can sing to, will have you up and dancing in no time.
French singer "Patrick Hernandez" set the dance floors on fire with this classic track then kinda disappeared of the radar.. Great song, crappy video. Enjoy

FREEEZ - iou ( lost hit )

Hello and welcome back... Listening to a music special on triple j Sydney around 1987 , the subject was about synthesizers and emulators and the band "freeez" was featured heavily ... mainly this song. IOU was also used in the breakdance move "beatstreet" and went to no 2 in the UK in 1983... Love the use of the Roland SH101 synth ( i had one but sold it.. kicking myself ).. This song was kinda ahead of its time, getting a synth to sound like a human singing was cutting edge stuff in 1983 and is one of my favorites.
