A classic. I always preferred Everything Counts though. |

Vince Clarke has said, that composing was never much work for him. |

Contains Sony, so it's not visible in Germany What is it, Erasure, Yazoo? |

Yazoo - Only You |

Too much dry and synthpopish in 1980's style, I prefer more "wet" (not the best term maybe ) sounds of the earlier synthesizers - to ca 1982. period. -- Last edit: 2011-02-23 00:12:42 |

I couldn't stand Yazoo. There was a theory that Alison Moyet was really a relaunch stage name for Demis Roussos, minus the beard, but still in the same kaftan... -- Last edit: 2011-02-23 00:58:04 |

But this song about dwarfs (?) wasn't sung by her... How it was? We are happy, happy people. Or am I wrong? |
◊ 2011-02-23 00:26 |
I never liked Yazoo either, though it's much better than all the crap they play nowadays (Rihanna, Bieber, GaGa, Perry etc). Among my favourite 80s synthpop bands are Talk Talk, a-Ha and Tears for Fears. It's not my favourite genre though, I prefer late 80s-ca. 1992 house music. |
◊ 2011-02-23 00:28 |
Anything is better than that stuff! Last night I had a nice time listening to a-Ha and Tears for Fears. My neighbours however, did not like that I forgot to put the headphones in at 1AM. |

Oh, now you have said something - it was a reason for a little displeasure between me and my wife While I've enjoyed (slightly drunk, the stomach full with delicious food) premium-class classics like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1_bmDBos3Q&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmyR4wPI1o0 (yes, he also sung in German) in a nonstop-70ies-music-clip-show, she became a red face, jittery hands and other evidences of an aggression-attack She couldn't suffer it, she said. Strange. It seems, my wife has a weird taste |

@ingo Demis Roussos?!? You must be half-deaf. Sorry. |
◊ 2011-02-23 00:58 |
And as far as Vince Clarke is concerned: You must be right. It really seems like he didn't put too much effort into his "works". |
◊ 2011-02-23 01:08 |
Hmm... you mean something like this, or is it too new to be categorised as such?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdebwOdLzsY Or perhaps even something from an entire different genre?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z3AiAvK05o or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGLJoXpKo4U ... meh, I'm probably the only one here who has heard of these two, neither of these were even released in Europe I think. |
◊ 2011-02-23 01:10 |
The last one was on a computer game I had. Can't remember which one. Might have been a Driver game or something like that. |
◊ 2011-02-23 01:13 |
You got that right, Driver: Parallel Lines I also heard it the first time there - it's sad, but true, I've developed too much of my music taste out of what I've heard in video games |
◊ 2011-02-23 01:17 |
If you sift carefully, there is some good Demis Roussos stuff to be found. But for the hardcore Demis, you need to go back to his Aphrodite's Child days alongside the then unknown Vangelis. The album 666 is ... um ... ambitious. I always liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiS4arlBI9U and the slightly strange http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFChrJpCYrA but it then gets seriously weird - any of the other tracks from 666 on youtube.... For cl82, Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias recorded "Happy To Be On (An Island Away From) Demis Roussos" but no youtube match found so try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t95BrIoJkE as a consolation. -- Last edit: 2015-01-27 19:06:39 |

No - I'm guilty too. Never rated YMO, but Suicide were excellent. If Suicide had been English they might have sounded like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2_KIWejJyY . |

@Lateef, @Sandie: if you talk about electro-synthy-music, the founders musn't be ignored: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jean+michel+jarre&aq=f and http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kraftwerk&aq=f For coming halfly back to topic (we don't want to provoke anyone here ) thst clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK5_BrTUXjE Yes, it's not original, but it includes cars. Even cars, you can spot (an Opel Commodore B at 0:10). And with the important information, that te location is just a few hundred meters away from my brithplace |
◊ 2011-02-23 01:32 |
@Ingo: Me too, believe me, but Demis Roussos' solo-work is just too much, at least for me. @dsl: Nothing against Aphrodite's child. Not my cup of tea actually, but at least it was "different" or as you said ambitious. There were better Prog-Rock bands, but at least they tried, and "666" was a bold move. Thanks a lot for the 3rd link, too. |

LOL! Alphaville, initiated lawsuits to an insurance company here in Argentina (Consolidar SA), for the misuse of the song "Forever Young" for over a decade. Came to nothing. In Spanish the info: Link to "desiertodeideas.blogspot.com" |

@Sandie: but you are right. I've just found that nice clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu38yi207VI&feature=fvsr -yes about cars!- while I was searching for some more actual German synthi-pop, involved in the 70ies-revival-style.

Talking about suicide... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meKU6MrXZdg No doubt one of ingo's personal favorites. |

2 of my favourite synth obscurities http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18sGc89mYuA and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il1T8Qb986U . For ingo and cl82 - 60s kitsch meets prog-rock and I love it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u7BW8fe2ys . Beggars Opera's version of Classical Gas is even better, but not youtubed yet... |
◊ 2011-02-23 02:07 |
Reminds me of this completely serious and classic tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg Might be a bit dodgy for non-UK linking so search for My Lovely Horse if you don't get it. |

I prefer that to Johnny Logan. We're not going to spend the night posting eurovision songs I hope... Well there's time until antp wakes up. |

@chicomarx: I knew that someone would post the inevitable Nana Mouskouri sooner or later. Thanks a bunch. @dsl: Cool suggestions, thank you. Funnily, all Beggar's Opera-songs sound like "Time Machine". As far as electronic music is concerned: As Ingo already said, you shouldn't forget the pioneers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoTNewnCVGo (never mind the corresponding video please; I was just glad to find the original 1981 version) The "Tatort"-episode in which this tune was heavily featured is already listed on IMCDb: /movie_84767-Tatort-Das-Madchen-auf-der-Treppe.html |

Antoine will surely be mollified, when he knows, that some Belgian music belongs to my favourites. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=andre+brasseur&aq=f It was not really easy to find the "best of"-CD, no remake of it since 1988. For the neighbours in a traffic jam nearly surprising as a tuned up original Scottish Pipes-and-Drums-CD Yes, I have them, too. |
◊ 2011-02-23 19:31 |
@Lateef this Japanese(?) band was closer. Although in my case, I can find old "electronic sounds" nice in most of genres - funk, even disco also mixed with classic instruments. So it can be typical el. music, like the one mentioned by Gomselmash, or similar. Well used moog also gave excellent atmosphere. Also new wave songs with synthesizer parts are usually interesting. But then, around 1983 much has changed IMO. Classic "electronic" still had the old spirit, but started to play less important role and mainstream synthpop became more heavy and its sound was somehow less "innocent". In case of arrangement there is quite big difference even between early British new romantics (1980/81), and such Tears for fears (Shout!) from 1983 (for me, difference in minus). Yazoo on the other hand was too primitive. Ah and BTW, it is also not my most favorite genre. xD I said to ca 1982! BTW this Sabrina's videoclip was played a lot in the late 1980's Polish TV wish gig (where people send to each other wishes via TV). It was broadcast on saturday afternoon IIRC. Generally very stiff show, although what song will be added by TV to wishes was usually a kind of lottery. "To celebrate the 80th birthday of Mr. Jan from Włodawa and the upcoming 50th anniversary of the wedding, all the best wish wife - Anna together with children and 3 grandchildren. We (TV) of course joins those wishes and dedicates Mr. Jan a song "Boys, boys...". -- Last edit: 2017-05-21 13:44:08 |

These wish-gigs were popular here, too, called familary "Erbschleicherkonzert" - "legacy hunter concert" As they were mainly popular for older people, the most played titles were: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO0lUXnAs-U&feature=fvw and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqvr6igV3Wc&feature=related And for coming back to topic again (look at antp's last comment ), here the clip, which made the last song popular again after decades: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrcAuoMNAHY |
