The BEST of times.

GTA Vice City on the PS2 was the greatest video/computer game ever and also about when I drifted away and stopped playing them. I got into Wang Chung as a result of the game, I have a greatest hits CD. Driving a car at 100 MPH to 'Don't bring me down' by E.L.O though - I think only Daley Thompsons Decathlon on the ZX Spectrum was better.
The Vice City soundtrack is probably the most impactful this millennium. Millions and millions from a new generation getting hooked on 80s music. Certainly wasn't a bad move for the artists featured however little they made on the initial deal...

Absolutely. And to my eternal delight, you can still listen to all the radio stations on YouTube. What an absolute TREAT

I bought the CD box set of the radio stations from Virgin Megastores in Churchill Square. It was quite expensive but worth every penny, still gets a listen from time to time!

Stealing a Ferrari, to drive to fly a helicopter whilst listening to 'Two Tribes' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood - it was so good. I remember that mission/level you had to do where Tommy gets pissed with a Vietnam veteran who blows himself up on his homemade Moonshine and you have to drive him to the hospital drunk - I did that one first time, no problem.

They offered him a paltry amount. He is well-off enough to walk away. Good for him.

Welcome back to Vice City. Welcome back to the 1980s.

Not forgetting Ware was in the Human League. Seems that he’s opened his heart on this occasion.
If he’s refuse then they need to make sure it’s completely removed from the game. Leave no trace.
I used to enjoy going to a phone box and then calling either an ambulance or the fire brigade, and then when the paramedics / firemen turned up, I’d beat the living shit out of them with my fists. Sometimes I would start to get overpowered by them, and then once they’d almost killed me I’d bring out my Uzi and mow the fuckers down.
Can’t think why there are such high levels of violence in society today, it’s a completely mystery
Penthouse and Pavement is a brilliant debut album.

Good on him. 7500 is a joke.
I will tell you who this is.
Someone who was part of two bands who were innovative in the late 70s and early 80s. The Human League and Heaven 17.
Someone who is now in his early 60s, and making good money doing nostalgia tours.
Someone with no interest in developing a career, being asked to support Dua Lipa, write the theme for the next Mission Impossible film, etc..
Someone who doesn't think it is cool to be supplying muzak for your game toy.
The Luxury Gap is a brilliant follow up.
Sounds to me like he was quite interested but not happy with the moneyI will tell you who this is.

This is a guy who doesn't want 150 million new people to hear his music because he's not getting quick money for it.
Barely a musician, more of a shite capitalist.
