^ I love that, and I actually really love that film.  For me it is a great remake.

I love this intro with Bowie humming, the intro of Blackstar the song gives me the same vibe, and maybe that is poart of why i love it so much:



This is one of my favourite pieces.  I adore this, gives me chills after so many years, but then i really like Giorgio Moroder


^ Those two above rank as perhaps my two very favourite pieces of ":modern" music.  Gives me shivers.

Some who participated in a recent Interactive Poll will remember a Jarboe collab track with tiger growling sounds.   I love Jarboe (she was in Swans) but it is that Cat People music two above that inspired me most to like and choose that Jarboe collab as my nomination.

From Let's Dance, I find Ricochet and Criminal World so great.  I have played that album so many times, and it is one that consider to be underrated by many.

Listened again to Aztec Camera's High Land, Hard Rain and it is indeed a very fine album to listen to. However, my vote still goes to Dazzle Ships.

Edit:

I have just been informed via Pete Frame's Rock Family Trees that Jamie West-Oram's connection with Geoff Downes was in a band called She's French in 1974-75.

In 1976, Geoff joined Tina Charles's backing band where he met Trevor Horn.

As does Rupert Greenall. Rupert is 1/3 of The Fragile Fate, with Eric Taylor and Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel, Tony Levin Band, Security Project, Keaggy-Levin-Marotta).

I voted for the awe-inspiring A Walk Across the Rooftops, with Listen and Synchronicity following closely behind.

The Blue Nile - A Walk Across the Rooftops   One of my favourite albums of all time; it's stunning.

Most of this was just radio fare to me and I haven't listened to many albums in full - neither back in those days, nor recently. I remember Aztec Camera's as a damn fine album though, but I'll have to listen to it again instead of voting blindly for Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's Dazzle Ships... I'll be back!

Right beside him, Rupert Greenall and those awesome sounds he played on his PPG Wave and Prophet-5.

TBH, outside Blue Nile and China Crisis, I know of all the bands.... 
However, looking at the artworks/sleeves of those albums, I realize that I've seen very little of them in the record store bins (or they didn't leave a lasting impression). 
I doubt I ever heard more that whatever Toronto's CFNY (Spirit Of Radio) ever played (which was a fair bit, but I rarely tuned in there)


Mind you at the time, I was starting to spend times i,n the JR/F & Jazz bins

I had rather hoped that Cocteau Twins might qualify for Head Over Heels, not that I would expect it, but I wouldn’t really think of it as New Wave anyway. I have learned from these that New Wave covers more music than I had thought. I would think of Duran Duran first. The only two albums in the list that I have owned that I recall are the Bowie and The Police albums, which I have on official cassettes. I really like the second side of Let’s Dance. That Police album I have not returned to in many years but used to love both Synchronocities. I do like OMD, various Echo and the Bunnymen... I have heard that Talking Heads album in full as one of my brothers would play it, but other than some songs, I never really got into Talking Heads... I like various David Byrne music very much, no vote now.   I might know songs from al, if these, but not the albums well enough with some exceptions. People probably appreciate your full album playlists more, but I liked to make playlists with a favourite track of mine from each album. I thought that make it easier for people to check out the music, but at the same time, others might not appreciate or resonate with my picks. Can be quite time-consuming too to decide, and harder still making such a playlist if you were not already significantly familiar with the album.   I am tempted to do an 80s series myself which covers more alternative music, post-punk, gothic rock, dark wave, ethereal wave. Stuff like Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Pere Ubu, Bauhaus, This Heat.... I won’t be as ambitious as with this series and will just cover albums I already know and care for.   The 80s were awesome.

Oh, for a well-known artist in PA, Peter Hammill’s Patience would have fit well methinks.
