Any old school "Freestyle" fans out there?

Hello. I love my Psychodelic Furs and Sisters of Mercy cds but I also used to love to dance to some great Freestyle music of the mid to late eighties. It seems so gauche these days but it was so fun out at clubs. I suppose I don't half to be embarassed to say I used to love Noel's "Silent Morning", Nancy Martinez's "For Tonight", Company B's "Fascination" or "Full Circle", or how about The Cover Girls' song "Show Me". Hey, it was some fun music! Expose was pretty hard to forget too. "Point of No Return" is still one of my favorite dance tunes from the eighties. Just curious...any one else out there enjoy Freestyle music as much as I did (DO, actually)?

Oh indeed I do! There is a very fine line sometimes between what constitutes "New Wave" and what you're calling "Freestyle". In my music database, I refer to much of this synth-driven dance music as "Disco Pop". Whether it's Company B, The Twins, Ultra

I guess what you call freestyle is something that just doesn't fit in the the given guidlines.I always liked Noels "I need a Man" and Gina X or how about Helen and the horns and Wall of Voodoo.Alice Coopers "Flush the Fashion with "Clones (We're all) This
