BANDS REUNITED - BERLIN

Hello and welcome back.... Love this show...

Often when bands split, it ends badly and 20 years later a show comes along and tries to reunite the band... Does it work? ... Watch and see...
A real good insight into the working of various relationships, loves, dislikes of famous bands.

This episode is 80s Synth band BERLIN

LABAN - LOVE IN SIBERIA (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back....Danish band "Laban" had this brilliant track back in 1986.

'Love in Siberia' is a catchy song that made it to No 88 on the billboard hot 100 music charts. It even has funky guitar riffs throughout ....

'Laban' consists of Lecia Jønsson and Ivan Pedersen and goes under the 'Italodisco' banner.
The band also released a LP called  'Caught By Surprise'

Sadly in 1988 the group split up.

An awesome song.

SQUASH GANG - I WANT AN ILLUSION (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back.... Italo Disco at its best, 1986 saw this awesome song released into the world...

Spanish band "Squash Gang" had a modest hit with "I want an Illusion".
Francisco Quijada was the musician and his brother José Quijada was the singer. The other member was Cristina Manzano.

Love the snappy keyboard work in the video (The synth is a Akai AX80)..

Long live Italo Disco...
