we listen so fast: forgotten/unkown/unloved 80s we are listening to.

oh shit, i'm not gonna post it here but the sleeve of that marquis de sade single is so fucking wrong and very NSFW:

yiiiikes i was not aware of that! the lyrics of that song are pretty vicious too tbh

Masterpiece is not quite my speed of italo.

if you want french new wave for Magazine fans you should go back to 1979 and check out the fantastic Edith Nylon

I mean really, this sounds like a Secondhand Daylight outtake

"Masterpiece is not quite my speed of italo."

i think i like it better as synth-pop and to be honest i really like the instrumental version better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d79oJq5vPQU

honestly, this is the best thing i've listened to in 400 years. sonic youth wish. how much art can you take?

In 1987 I would buy anything that sounded like Sonic Youth or Swans, and these two tracks remain unforgotten by me at least

Nice Strong Arm remains one of the loudest bands I have ever seen

That's the Nice Strong Arm song I played to death, it was the post-punk revival at least a decade too early

never heard of them. not to be confused with the jet black berries. the american Bolshoi?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgmCAAZ_2UE

this is earlier. there is live vid on YT and it kinda looks like they wanted to be The Mission.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCf2xUufpqg

I love Nice Strong Arm so much. Their other two classics are Amnesia and Cloud Machine

cool single. expensive too.

I do not know nice string arm but now must hear more ha, that was cool

strong string

this one:

50s retro 80s prince cover from raincoats members that people have been hiding from me...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4iTnk7orSw

whoa

"Former Raincoats members and Red Crayola collaborators formed Dorothy to release a series of dance influenced 12 inches and record an album worth of material that was never released."

this makes it even more baffling to me that Vicky didn't want to do the reunion

and there were two other singles. and some demo/promo tape only tracks. enough for a CD anyway.

its that hot New Beat group sweeping Rotterdam.

the rutless?

my kid is looking for a new band name. i'm gonna suggest The Rutless Attack.

Dorothy sounds like a digital version of Moving.

this Bernard Edwards AOR band in search of a Kevin Bacon movie is not my thing.

Listening to the World Saxophone Quartet's Plays Duke Ellington this morning. It doesn't sound particularly '80s, but it's from 1986. On Nonesuch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRzdLk0W1is

i had this on tape in 1987. because i was a beatnik. #DolbyHXPro

i dig this mix because the intro is 3 minutes long. they shouldn't have even bothered with vocals. make it all intro. though the vocals are more of a dub effect then they are the original song.

this is that guy who did music with madonna in germany before she hit it big. and he was in liquid sky. i saw liquid sky in the movie theatre in nyc in the 80s. that's how hip i was.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRmHThOkaUY

how many songs can i listen to that sound like this? a LOT apparently. she was the singer in Tapps if you are a Canadian Tapps fan.

Thought I was Mr Know It All of 80s R&B but somehow this gem escaped my attention until recently. Guess I went to the wrong clubs in 1984

Love TAPPS. Have that Barbara Doust on my wantlist. It's not expensive, I just haven't gotten it yet.

TAPPS appeared on this mix I made of very hi-nrg/italo and related sounds. Lots of unloved 80s here.

https://soundcloud.com/the-magic-message/009-magic-message-radio-dan-selzer-womr-921-wfmr-913

lol I have the Barbara Doust on my wantlist too. “my forbidden lover” is all-time ofc

on the hi-NRG tip, this one has been in heavy rotation for me this year. magnificent sleeve art, and produced by Fancy!

some albums require a cassette rip onto Youtube for the right vibe...

where are the hepcat DJ nites for this stuff? other than japan...

i'm keeping this EP. its not easy for me to find 80s goth rock that i like from the u.s. of a. i dig this though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOIllLueNJ4

these are all singles i got in and have been enjoying. not a random skot attack.
