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....

the first Orb LP is dated 1989...
I was a big fan of the 4AD label, with recording done by John Fryer-
That West India Company "Ave Maria" was really cool.
Back in those days I really went for the 12" singles. Talk Talk was usually a lot more interesting in 12" single format.
Simple Minds lost me after about their 4th album.

Nice one, Atmasphere. 4AD really had my heart for awhile. I have a friend who still buys most of what 4AD puts out on lp. I hope to one day hear some of it through your products. :)

I was kicking myself for not mentioning Camouflage, but it was just a matter of time. ;) To keep things alive, anyone else get into Kie the Vez, Dark Voices, Majestic . . . *checking thread* . . . and is there agreement that Arcadia was a better DD side project than Power Station? Or maybe I'm not being fair.
T-Bone Burnett's "Proof Through the Night" is one of my most prized albums. Out in 1983 it is classic IMO. Its not Synth pop. One of the better sounding recordings that I have.

I would call Gary Myrick's "Language" synth pop. Big spacious sound stage with good depth and good bass. I think the material holds up OK too.

I have occasionally seen both at used record stores
