It's that kind of style but it's not Soft Cell or Ultravox.

The vocals are very '80s and there ae at least a keyboard and a sequencer. I would check some British electronics of that age, like Soft Cell or even Ultravox. I'm not expert in that genre but this is what comes to my mind.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Wild stab in the dark but Kayak were still (just) going in 1983 and that is the kind of cheesy lyric that featured on some of the songs on the Merlin album (Seagull maybe).

Around 1983 I recorded part of a semi instrumental song played on 'The LP show' broadcast by Tros Radio Hilversum 3 on Thursday evenings. If reception was good I would pick it up on medium wave in the UK. The show played prog rock and new age and synthesiser music.
No amount of internet searching has shed any light on who it was by. Is there any way I can upload the recording so someone can listen to it. The lyrics I can make out are: 'love is falling away from you...., runaway from your heart for nothing is real' Guessing from the accent of the singer it may be a dutch band. Thanks |
