reminded of this on BBC4 Friday night

I saw that. Loved it then and now.

don't you mean Heaven 17?

No, the New Order song. Which is entirely different from the Heaven17 song, and created a year or two before.

Love it. Reminds of good times with mates in the sixth form.

yeah I checked that out, like it, but oddly don't remember it at all!

New Order didn't get mainstream publicity really until Blue Monday in 1983. I'm not saying that they were obscure, but that they were adored by a large niche fanbase, the music press, but were barely played on Radio 1 in the daytime.

It was the explosion of house music and the rave scene that caught my attention in the latter part of the 80s, although I was too young to go to really get involved until the early 90s.

Love it, beautiful track. One of many 12” repeatedly played loudly on my record deck, to my Dad’s annoyance.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

The eighties truly were the greatest for music

 

[Weststander]

Loved that. It was played all the time on tge brilliant mid-80’s pirate station Lazer558.

[The Clamp]

I’ve been enjoying a lot of Synthwave of late. Perturbator, Chromatics, Kavinsky , Gunship etc. Not 80’s bands themselves but a genre firmly rooted in the 80’s. Can’t get enough of it at the mo.

If you like 80s music (and if reading this thread you probably do) this up coming release may be of interest

For me, it was all about All About Eve in the late 80s.

Saw them 4 times in 6 days on the Scarlet and Other Stories tour in '89.

I'll even confess to getting a kiss from Julianne Regan after the Hammersmith show.

The week after the disaster miming 'Martha's Harbour' on TOTP (as was the norm then), they were given another chance.

They insisted on playing live.

They didn't disappoint.

And, right at the end at 3:02, you can see Julianne's joy as she turns round to Tim as if to say 'we did it!'.

 

[Weststander]

Love this song, this performance with Johnny Marr, 6 years after its release.

I'll concur with that chap, drove my sister mad, plus this little ditty, which I played to death
