THE DREAM ACADEMY     Ironically, The Dream Academy were from the city of London, despite having a worldwide hit with "Life in a Northern Town." Their three studio albums featured a dream-team line-up of producers and players, including David Gilmour, Lindsey Buckingham, Richard Dashut (Fleetwood Mac's producer), Patrick Leonard (Madonna's producer), Paul Carrack, Larry Fast (Synergy) & movie music maestro Hans Zimmer, amongst others. Truly a Dream Academy of Music. Smile

ENO      Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno, better-known to us all simply as Eno - for keeping your whites whiter than white. Oh no, that's Omo, not Eno. Anyway, enough of this airy-Fairy nonsense! If I may be so Bold, why not tune in your Ariel for Brian's three electronica albums listed below, which should hopefully Tide you over whilst you Surf the internet. Smile

as much as I dislike this band (another prime example of the 80's going wrong for me) those 2 songs are absolute classics.

^ Another Green World is my favourite Brian Eno album too, mainly because it includes the theme to BBC 2's Arena arts programme. Smile

Anyway, I've now removed Brian Eno from the Synth-Pop list, so pretend he was never here. That was my biggest blunder since listing The Cure as a Synth-Pop band. Tongue

Synth-Pop Britannia

EURYTHMICS    Who's That Girl? It's Scottish Diva Annie Lennox and Right by Her Side is Dave Stewart (not the Canterbury Scene guy), who were previously known as The Tourists before settling down to life as the Eurythmics (named after a French pedagogical system of dance mime!), after which a string of non-stop hits followed throughout the 1980's. These are the things which Sweet Dreams of pop stardom are made of! The Eurythmics split up in 1990 when Dave became a Thorn in Annie's side, but It's Alright, because they made a comeback album nine years later when they called it Peace between them. We all know the Eurythmics primarily as a Synth-Pop duo, but somewhat bizarrely, they began life briefly as a Krautrock duo for their first album "In the Garden" (now something of a rarity), recorded in Cologne with legendary German producer Conny Plank and ably assisted by Holger Czukay of Can. Would I Lie to You?

Synth-Pop Britannia

FAD GADGET     The stage name of Frank Tovey (1956-2002), an avant-garde Synth-Pop singer whose  darkly humorous lyrics of bleak social commentary covers subjects as diverse as industrialisation, consumerism, human sexuality, mass media, religion, domestic violence and dehumanization, making Gary Numan seem like the life and soul of the party by comparison. Tongue




Thanks to Trevor (Octopus II) for the addition of Fad Gadget. Thumbs Up
