LOVERBOY - TURN ME LOOSE  (1980)


BRILLIANT

LIMAHL - never ending story (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back.... Christopher Hamill (Limahl) first shot to fame in 1982 with the band "Kajagoogoo".
Limahl decided to go solo in 1984 and sang the main theme for the movie "Neverending Story".
The rest of the music for "Neverending Story" was done by Giorgio Moroder (Electric Dreams).

For me, this song (and movie) was one of my favorites, I could relate to running away and disappearing to another world to save a princess. Sadly this never happened, but the movie made me believe that anything was possible.
I have watched this movie over 30 times and still love it.

DIVINE KNIGHTS - clouds (the sanfernando sound remix) - sounds like the 80s

Hello and welcome back.... After huge success with the song "Storm", Divine Knights are back with a new single "Clouds"
This tasty treat of Lush vocals and heavenly synths has been given a extra dose of sweetness having being remixed, affectionately called "The Sanfernando Sound Remix".

The original song "Clouds" is from the newly released album "Midnight" and is available from ITunes.
CLICK HERE

This remix version has given the song a danceable quality which sounds amazing and the costumes are "Divine"
CLICK HERE  to download "Clouds" remix

For me, this band sounds alot like "Pet Shop Boys" or even "Depeche Mode".
Divine Knights also do a cover of Bronski Beat" - Smalltown Boy" which you can find on their album "Midnight"

A stellar effort from Divine Knights.

MODERN TALKING - brother louie (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back...German synthpop band "Modern Talking" had a huge hit with this song in 1986.
Brother Louie was released on the "Ready for Romance" album and made it to top 5 in the U.K music charts.

For me I couldn't get into their music, maybe too much hair for me or maybe the music was too cheesy for me, I don't know, but they were huge so who am I to argue.
15 million youtube viewers cant be wrong :).. Enjoy.

UPDATE.... check out Modern Talking's new page = CLICK HERE

BELINDA CARLISLE - feel like i feel (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back....2 things make this song special to me, Firstly, it was the first time I got to spend the night with my first "Real" girlfriend (at the time) much to my mothers horror. Nervously driving home the morning after, I turned the stereo on in my car and heard this song and it has stuck in my head ever since. (My mum grounded me for 2 weeks).
The second reason is that the stunning "Belinda Carlisle" has the same birthday as me...August 17th, so Happy Birthday to Belinda and to myself.... 21 again :)
