Thought I would switch it up for a change and post an 80's synth pop track from the legendary Factory Records stable. This cut from Section 25 was a staple of mine some years back when I incorporated quite a bit of new wave and post punk into my DJ sets. I dusted this record off in anticipation of the upcoming Section 25 show at Mezzanine in SF and it served to remind me that I still love this kind of stuff. The British in particular were damn good at making new wave/synth tracks. They tended to add a more soulful element that their American counterparts were not quite as adept at pulling off. Looking From a Hilltop was released in 1984 as the first single off of the From the Hip LP which was produced by Bernard Sumner of New Order.

If you fancy the old synth stuff & recognise us british were pretty good i could send u a load of the stuff(some u mite not have heard!)? The only problem is i don't have PC,i could only physically send an SD card(as tho can't stand PC's have hard drives that r backed up via memory card readers,mostly from non PC audio ripper). Any address u want me 2 send them 2 let me know. Eclectro(Jason),South England. Gr8 site by the way!
ReplyDeleteI've been listening to this track since its release. I have it on a 12-inch and can never get enough of it.
