Atomx- Mostly Obscure 80's Mix.All Tracks Played On Vinyl .Lotsa New Wave Goodness!
With so much talk about the 80's in here i thought id share an all 80's radio mix(IE one tracks fades out as one begins)i just did for a party.By mostly obscure i mean a lot of tracks you just dont hear anymore.Not even on satellite or online 80's stations.All tracks are from my personal collection of 80's records.No CD's were used.
I was going to go REALLY obscure but then i just thought id lose people altogether so i didnt fall to far into the 80's music black hole,but several of these songs will probably have some of you scratching your heads.Anyway heres the tracklist(out of respect to big mike ill put the artist name FIRST )
1.Alphaville- Big In Japan
2.Thompson Twins- Hold Me Now
3.What I Am- Edie Brickell & New Bohemians
4.Missing Persons- Destination Unknown
5.Joe Jackson- Is She Really Going Out With Him
6.Japan- Gentlemen Take Polaroids
7.Bronski Beat- Smalltown Boy
8.Visage- Fade To Grey(previously unreleased 12 inch mix)
9.Echo And The Bunnymen- Lips Like Sugar
10.Robey- One Night In Bangkok
11.ATF- Der Kommissar
12.The Romantics- Talking In Your Sleep
13.Real Life- Send Me An Angel
14.Toto- Africa
15.Steve Miller- Abracadabra
16.Information Society- I Want To Know(Pure Energy)
17.OMD- If You Leave
3/4 of these tracks were top-ten records; hardly obscure. it's true that many don't get much airplay these days though, as most '80s radio shows tend to recycle the same tunes.
