Great lost lps...the 80s....synth pop and others..


the Church-Blurred crusade-A great lp by one of the most criminally underated band of the 80s...they flirted with the bigtime years later on "starfish"...nice clean production as well...

Real Life-Heartland-a lost synth pop classic from another Aussie band....

Thomas Dolby...first two lps....

The Woodentops....any lp...

Close Lobsters...Foxtails....

I loved the Church as well.....

My guilty 80's pleasure has always been The Producers, You Make the Heat is still a great album.
Don't forget Gary Numan's 'Telekon'! -The live version on vinyl is quite good!

Kraftwerk (the creators of Synthpop), with 'Computerworld'
80s synth is the music I grew up with---my LP collection is about 75% 80s---have a huge collection of Numan, Kraftwerk, Dmode, Human League, mostly rare and Japanese releases---I now keep the US/UK releases in the garage.

Armstrod---I am a big fan of Propaganda as well---there were also solo projects called ACT and the singer Claudia Bruuken released a great solo LP.

Macdadtexas-when I turned 16, we used to go to all the Producers shows when they hit SF--(3 times I think)---my tastes became a bit more refined, but they remained a quilty pleasure as well for a couple years.

Also have some Section 25, Cabaret Voltaire,
Til Tuesday's "Welcome Home" is an incredible album both from a sonic and performance perspective.

Also check out That Petrol Emotion's "Chemicrazy"!
