Sunday play list -
Feeling some 80s art school today ...
Eurythmics / Julia - (from their sadly little heard score to the 1984 film "1984") Layers of lush, processed vocals over crisply ticking sequencers. Love the edits after the 4:00 mark as though the protagonist Winston is struggling to hang onto fleeting wisps of memory. And a very cool photo montage by whoever posted this version. What a wild ride they must have had!
Eurythmics / Ministry of Love - Another track from their neglected 1984 score. Swirling synth percussion dotted with bright pulsating melodic lines and a funk bass line, then add chanting and Lennox's layered tribal shrieking on top.
Siouxsie and the Banshees / Dazzle - Punk meets Vaughan-Williams? Features Robert Smith from The Cure sitting in on guitar with drummer Budgie pushing the whole assembly hard while Siouxsie sings of "Skating bullets on angel dust, In the dead sea, of fluid mercury". Gotta love it.
Brand X / Collapsar - A tiny, little gem from Phil Collins hobby jam band Brand X to close things out. Classic Robin Lumley mini-moog.
