As one of the longest tenured member of the British supergroup Fleetwood Mac, keyboardist Christine McVie was also the creative force behind many of that act's most popular songs. Joining the band in 1970 following her marriage to Fleetwood Mac bassist (and one-half namesake) John McVie, Christine penned and sang lead on hits including Over My Head , Say You Love Me , You Make Lovin' Fun , Don't Stop , and Hold Me - the latter supposedly having been inspired by Beach Boys' drummer Dennis Wilson. Following the successful tour for [...]

Шведский электро фанк в американском переиздании лейбла Blackmarket . Очень жесткий и минималистичный бит, слэп бас, экзотические синтезаторы и рэп Grandmaster Funk (не путать с Jackmaster Funk и Grandmaster Flash) создают неповторимое урбанистическое звучание этой маленькой пластинки с оформлением очень соответствующим названию лейбла.. Grandmaster Funk & Percussion All Stars - Don't Stop Grandmaster Funk & Percussion All Stars - Funk Off!

Отличный электро хип-хоп jam на лейбле Profile . Супер жирный бит от Donald Robinson и мягкий рэп Dr. Perri Johnson в сочетании с мега качественной арранжировкой создают неповторимое настроение и заставляют напевать припев много дней подряд! Dr. Perri Johnson - Kick It Out (Vocal)
Robert Görl is best known for being a member of DAF , but these tracks are from his excellent 1984 solo album 'Night Full of Tension'. That's Annie Lennox singing on these by the way (I think Görl used to play keyboards for the Eurythmics when they first started). Robert Görl - Darling Don't Leave Me (Extended Mix) Robert Görl - Playtime
In George Orwell's classic novel "1984," our tragic hero Winston Smith works for the totalitarian government in the records department of the Ministry of Truth. Smith spends his days at work rewriting newspaper articles and books for the government, to better fit their message to the masses. The image Orwell invokes is of a massive overreaching government that retains it's power by owning and controlling the media, the banks, and stores, along with always trying to keep the populace united with some dubious foreign war. Americans often site "1984" when they see government overreaching beyond its role and [...]
With Eddie Van Halen redefining the electric guitar and led by the showman prowess of lead singer David Lee Roth, the band Van Halen captured the imagination of rock fans with their 1978 self-titled debut. Five albums in five years solidified the band's position as arguably the most popular and dynamic hard rock band of the time. As the band accumulated a slew of Top Ten, platinum-selling albums and sold-out world tours, Van Halen also managed to notch success at rock radio where their songs were staples. They also crossed over to pop outlets and managed to [...]

One of the brightest new acts to emerge in 1980 was the quartet The Pretenders. Fronted by ex-music journalist Chrissie Hynde, the group's debut caught the imagination of music fans and the single Brass In Pocket (I'm Special) became a major hit. Over the next several years the band issued a less well-received follow-up and endured the deaths of the original members, bassist Pete Farndon and guitarist James Honeyman-Scott. In January 1984, The Pretenders returned after a near three year absence - although they had hit #5 with the song Back On The Chain Gang [...]
E verywhere I look, dead Christmas trees. A unique thing I had never seen before moving to Germany is that people just dump the used tress anywhere on the street. No designated pile, no obligations to get it to a dump... Severed stumps everywhere! So we find it quite fitting to share with you Joakim 's edit of one of our favorites, "Dead Eyes Opened" by the Severed Heads . When you hear this song (1984), [...]

Первый сингл рэппера Fabulous Freddie Starr , более известного по треку " The Oak Tree Rap ". Основательный бит перво-цифрового ритм-бокса, мощный аналоговый бас, фанки гитары, синтезаторы, и общее непринужденное настроение черной фанк тусовки Лос Анджелеса середины 80-х... Freddie Starr - Skid Row (Instrumental)

Rebels - проэкт одного трека в лицах американских музыкантов Bernard Fowler (Peech Boys) и Steven Brown .. Сведенный одним из лучших продюсеров электро хип-хопа Dave Ogrin , мажорный oldschool трек "You Can Make It" - продолжение хита 1982 года проекта Smurfs , также написанного Fowler & Brown. Rebels - You Can Make It (Dub)
For better or worse, the band Foreigner is often cited (or blamed) for the rise of "corporate" rock acts of the '80s. Critical disregard aside, there is no arguing that their brand of driving, straight-ahead rock powered by the vocals of lead singer Lou Gramm made them one of the most commercial viable acts of the late '70s with a string of successful albums including Double Vision and a slew of major hit singles like Hot Blooded , Cold As Ice , and Feels Like The First Time . Their success carried over [...]

Sparque - первый проект Larry Joseph - продюсера многих електро, диско, хип хоп, и хаус релизов восьмидесятых... Сингл "Таке Some Time", выпущенный супер лейблом West End Records в 1984 году, представляет собой отличный пример его творчества.. Абсолютно минималистичный , живой электро фанк трек "Islam Island" и разряженный электро хип хоп "Take Some Time" на второй стороне (в основном играет только бит - зато какой!) Sparque - Islam Island (Breakdance) Sparque - Take [...]

Заводной электро диско сингл с лейбла Next Plateau Bruce Nazarian и Duane Bradley , сводившие трек, ответственны за многие релизы того времени (в основном в стиле Hi NRG) Интересно что в 84 году помимо этой вышли целых три пластинки с названием "Where's the Beef": Eddie B. & Oscar T. - Where 's The Beef ? The Chiefs - Where 's The Beef ? General Caine - Where [...]
