SHARE: Drums & Synthesizers (Volume 4)

[Passing_Stranger]

Thanks Passing Stranger ... I always think of that Jane Siberry song (Vladimir Vladimir) when I hear your name.

Thank you! Yes, I heard that song, like it quite a bit The name's quite common in a place where I come from, though it's always surprising to find foreign songs with such titles! A nice surprise, of course

So, a further installment in the series. Some names you're sure to recognise, while others may be obscure (though those who frequent NWO are expected to be familiar with them). Makaton Chat are my personal favourites, such a pity the reissue wave of the last 20 years bypassed them somehow. Johnny Warman did a stellar LP called "Walking into mirrors" - heartily recommended, up there with the best of 1981's bunch. Dutch guys Future World Orchestra did two things - cheesy love songs (quite endearing at the same time) and great cosmic synth instrumentals. Their selection here is a rare combination. Will Clipman from the USA did some lyrically ominous songs, great synth-punk (if it can be termed that... I think the description fits). His compatriots Onyx were more dancey but just as good, with a delicious dystopian edge (and the song is a bit too topical, I find). Local Boy Makes Good is Jeff Allen, brother of the late, lamented Chris Cross of Ultravox, while John Foxx... well, you know. Overall, a varying but not boring volume, hope you people will be satisfied
