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.

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.

^ 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.

I've seen the movie and bought the soundtrack too, but I didn't realise Cat People was a remake, until now. Embarrassed

Let's Dance is the first Bowie album I ever bought on vinyl and it still remains one of my favourites. Thumbs Up

The Cure - Japanese Whispers. More of a compilation than a proper album, brilliant document of a chaotic phase of the band.

Lots of great albums listed but Duran Duran's Seven And The Ragged Tiger is probably one of the few new wave albums i would actually give five stars.

Listened to it on a road trip in December and it blows me away everytime

With all these highly questionable New Wave-albums included, I would have liked to see one of my favorite... eh Post-Punk-albums here: The Chameleons Script Of The Bridge for 1983. Brilliant songwriting, and simply beautiful from start to finish.

I have that album. To me the Chameleons sounded a bit too much like The Cure for my liking.

Because you don't like The Cure, or simply because you find them too similar? Not a problem for me either way, but I don't really think they are all that similar. It has never crossed my mind actually.

4 stars 1983: China Crisis - Working with Fire and Steel - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lnegkMOcmRO_LlP8_QPhKB1WFH8JJDtc0

Wishful Thinking - My favourite song from my all-time favourite China Crisis album, but it's a Tragedy and Mystery why I've never got around to buying it on CD. Confused

I voted for Dazzle Ships from OMD.

Comsat Angels released this album in 1983. A great band.

Indeed. Land is a fine New Wave album, some of their post punk work is even better.

I must remember to include Comsat Angels in my upcoming series of Post-Punk polls. Wink

For nearly forty years I wrongly assumed this was the first Eurythmics album, until recently unearthing a CD In the Garden. Embarrassed
