OMG, you guys are awesome.  I have all three of those albums.  Eric B & Rakim, 10,000 Maniacs and Duran Duran are the shiz!  The first great album of the 80's I heard as a kid was:

Mostly obscure synth, new wave, Hi-NRG Italo stuff lately for myself.

Wang Chung was cool too. He was never an album guy though. A greatest hits comp would be enough. If you have to live and die in LA, Dance Hall Days, Hypnotize, Everybody Have Fun Tonight among the rest then you are pretty much set.

Tears For Fears Songs From The Big Chair super deluxe edition

"Six-disc box set that, which has every commercially issued b-side and remix. Previously unreleased radio sessions and early mixes and a DVD-A  5.1 surround sound mix and stereo mix by Steven Wilson. Both mixes are flat transfers with no additional mastering EQ or compression applied. Vinyl 2014 stereo mix and Blu-ray Audio also available."


This album has always been a favourite of mine. Some of the remixes and versions are quite good. This collection is definitely for fans though.

I have a weak spot for their early work. After King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" only Skinny Puppy gave me a similar listening experience. Yes I am convinced Industrial started with that King Crimson song. Call me weird when you think so, King Crimson's first two albums were too strange even for their own time.

Steve Strange, singer with Visage and former manager of the Blitz club in London, has died of a heart attack in Egypt at the age of 55

(http://i.guim.co.uk/static/w-620/h--/q-95/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2015/2/12/1423777286220/a3117347-48bd-4eb1-a8f2-5d351ba1fac1-1020x612.jpeg)
From the Guardian...

Steve Strange, frontman of 1980s synthpop group Visage, has died of a heart attack, his record label has announced. He was 55. The Welsh pop star died in his sleep in a hospital in Egypt. It is understood he was on holiday at the Sharm-el-Sheikh resort.

Strange, one of those at the forefront of the New Romantic movement, rose to fame with Visage, who were best known for their smash hit Fade to Grey, which peaked at No 8 in the UK charts in 1980. It topped the charts in Germany and Switzerland.

Strange also managed the Blitz club in Soho, central London, which became the pulse of the New Romantic movement. The likes of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Boy George’s Culture Club all got their start there before enjoying international success.

Marc Green, label manager at August Day Recordings, said: “We are extremely saddened to announce that Steve Strange died at 11.15 local time on Thursday 12 February in Sharm el-Sheikh International Hospital, Egypt. Steve died in his sleep of heart failure. Steve’s family, band members and friends are all distraught at this sudden news of his untimely death. Steve’s family request privacy at this extremely difficult time.”

Strange had been hospitalised in December in Bridgend, Wales, suffering from bronchial infection and an intestinal blockage.

Strange’s agent, Pete Bassett, added to the tributes. He said: “He will be remembered as a hardworking, very amusing and lovable individual who always was at the forefront of fashion trends. Up until last year he was putting together a book of fashion styles based on the New Romantic movement, and it comes as a great shock.

https://www.youtube.com/v/UMPC8QJF6sI

“We understood that he had certain health problems, but nothing we knew was life-threatening. His friends and family are totally shocked – we had no idea anything like this was likely to happen.”

Born Steven John Harrington in Newbridge, Monmouthshire in 1959, Strange got involved in music after seeing the Sex Pistols in concert at the Castle Cinema in Caerphilly in 1976. He went on to arrange gigs for punk bands in his home town.
At the age of 15, he went to London to work for Pistols’ manager Malcolm McClaren before setting up Blitz. The club counted among its fans David Bowie, who according to Strange went there “because he had heard how bizarre it was”.
After brief spells in punk and new wave bands, Strange formed Visage in 1978 with fellow Blitz club night host Rusty Egan, and the band released three studio albums before breaking up in 1985. Two further records were released when the band reformed in 2013.
Dubbed the Peacock Prince, Strange said of the New Romantic style he helped create: “It was about showing your creative side, and about showing that you’d taken time and effort in what you had created. It was about classic style and being outrageous, but done with an element of taste.”
Strange was dogged by problems with heroin addiction after first trying the drug while modelling at a Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show in Paris in 1985. He later labelled that night “the worst mistake I ever made in my life”. He also encountered legal problems, such as an arrest and suspended sentence for shoplifting a Teletubbies doll and cosmetics set in Bridgend. At the end of last year, Strange finished recording a classical interpretation of Fade to Grey.

Speaking on Radio 4’s Today programme, Strange’s Visage bandmate Midge Ure paid tribute: “The Blitz, and the subsequent Blitz Kids who used to frequent the place, grew into a massive movement in the UK associated with fashion, and image and photography. You could stand in the Blitz club and look round you and there’d be future journalists and filmmakers and writers and musicians and a young Boy George taking coats at the coat check … There was something really vibrant about it.

“Steve was a magnet for the good and the bad side of the industry, unfortunately. People with any arty leanings sought Steve out. They loved the idea that there was this movement happening in London – they wanted to be part of it. Steve’s door policy was fantastic at the Blitz because he wouldn’t let anyone in he didn’t like the look of. So he famously turned away Mick Jagger because they thought he was too rock’n’roll. But when David Bowie turned up all these cool kids went into turmoil and meltdown, because the king had appeared. It was really interesting place ...

“It was more than just fashion. Every decade, every genre, has its heart, and the Blitz was the beating heart of that whole new electronic dance music movement of the early 80s. In just the same way that the Cavern was in the 60s for the Beatles and the Mersey sound or the Hacienda club in Manchester was for all the Manchester stuff in the 1990s. It was a springboard for a huge variety of talent coming out of that place.”

Somebody got me listening to Michael Penn's No Myth -- but it was a live version through a Dutch radio program that became to be known as "Two Meter Sessions" (or 2 Meter Sessies). It's fantastic, and I'm wanting to listen to other artists that have played on the program.

I'm now trying to track down CDs from the early years. Seems hard to find unless I'm willing to pay $$$ outside of Europe.

\Long long ago, when heavy metal actually sounded like music.

Now you're speakin' my language. Dio... nuf' said.

Oldschool Accept (either "Restless and Wild" or "Balls to the Wall") are my heavy metal reference test albums. Love the way those two albums are recorded. Not my favorite metal band by a longshot, but definitely my favorite metal recordings, although Reign in Blood is right on their ass.

On the opposite end, I was listening to the classic "Rising" by Rainbow and it really feels like they rolled off everything after 8khz or so. There just...isn't anything there. I thought it might be a clogged channel or something, but everything else sounded fine. Would explain why that album always sounded somewhat dry...

I love using the HD800 to listen to crappily recorded music.  headbang

I love stuff with double-tracked vocals and snippets of vocal harmonies everywhere. These old, overproduced Samantha Fox albums are gold on an HD800. Everytime I listen to "Walking on Air", there is some little thing I never noticed before being pumped in there.

MFSL UDCD 697 - GAIN

What a great album. Back then and today. I'm not sure why, but every time I listen to this album, I think about how much I hate the Grateful Dead and Arcade Fire. Oh, BTW, rock is dead in 2015. In fact, rock probably died about 15 years ago or more. Yeah, you young ones keep convincing yourselves that rock is still alive. Everything and anything rock has already been invented. And Arcade Fire fucking sucks.

Marv, rock died in the 1990s...that is the only genre I still listen to and I refuse to update my music...hence will probably be stuck with a collection of 3,000 !! BTW, that is one heck of an album...saw these guys jamming on Youtube and they still sound great..

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).

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.
