Please review the playlists, and I'm looking for similar artists/songs that fit the genre.

I'm not sure which years you like to focus on, but I just came across a mix tape that a dorm-mate made for me circa '85 that I still find very enjoyable. Some of the more interesting tracks:

'Take me to the Fire' - This Island Earth
'Castles in Spain

The Jet Set
