This. Thanks to whoever put this on as the test track for the Ear vs. Yggy DAC-off.


And Merv is right, rock died in the 90s. There are some bands who rock some times (Maybe The Raconteurs?) since, but it's hard to find a rock band.

Listening to some XYZ, although not very popular except for their hit song "Inside Out", they actually have some pretty good songs and albums, and in a way, ahead of their time music-wise for that time period (1989).

Talking about Yaz/Yazoo, I've been listening to a lot of Erasure lately

Heaven 17
Compilation album covering their first two records. Holy crap, I didn't even know I had this. Dug it up from my vinyl collection. Early 80s Brit synth-pop stuff. Think Human League. Most of you guys are probably unfamiliar with them. They may have had a slight resurgence from the alternative / modern rock / post-modern rock SF based Live 105 KITS radio station from the mid to the late 80s (that was a good time to live in). Let Me Go is probably their most well known single.



Exsultate Jubilate / Mozart / AAM-Hogwood / Emma Kirkby
Recorded in 1984. I'm often surprised how many people are not familiar with this piece from Mozart. An absolutely beautiful short religious devotional. Emma Kirkby nails it without excessive ornamentation as appropriate to the time period of the piece. I have about a dozen different recordings of Exsultate Jubilate, and this one remains one of my favorites.

Currently in the playlist (I have a slight Italo fetish in general, though not specifically for 1983 which the playlist might suggest):
