Classic Albums of 80's Synthpop

Relates to Music

The 80's were great! Of course they were - I was a kid. But it seems to be only now I am starting to realise how great the 80's really were. At least musically speaking…

Many noughties Band's are re-inventing themselves with strong 80's undertones and the synthpop revival is paving the way this year. We will even see the return of one of the forefathers of 80's synthpop - check Depeche Mode's new album Sounds of the Universe out on 20th April.

Why not take a little trip down memory lane or discover some of the masters of synth for the first time. Hearing Nik Kershaw's Human Racing and Erasure's The Innocents brings back nostalgia of hours spent wired to my C64 collecting droplets with my Catellite. My personal attraction to Depeche Mode's Somebody, the Human League's Darkness and The The's epic GIANT no doubt paved my unwitting demise into Gothic Rock by the end of the decade.
