Synth-tastic '80s... Part Deux!


Notes

I thought posting an '80s mix to 8tracks was like hauling coal to Newcastle, but I did it anyway and it became my most-listened-to-and-liked mix within a matter of a few days. So here's more where that came from... Wall of Voodoo, Gary Numan, Simple Minds and more!

Sonic Boom Six, Million Dead, Future Of The Left, My Vitriol, Möngöl Hörde, The Pressure Room, Sleeping Souls, John Cooper Clarke, John Shuttleworth… if you tell me that you know of every single one of these - and can prove it - then I'm renouncing my British nationality and going to live in a commune in the middle of the Himalayas, I'm NOT being bested by a Yank, that kinda embarrassment is too much to bear! I shall return, mon ami. I SHALL *NOT* BE BEATEN!
