Synthpop music

let's go way back, back into time.

let's educate one another with some 1980's synthpop / new wave / electropop / minimal wave / cyberpunk / flexipop, or whatever you want to call it.

i'll start.

this is a swedish band called Tre. only one 7" released, but they got the sound right alright.

80's French synth music is great. i'd like to thank the watmmer who posted deux - game & peformance in a thread recently. i'm in love with this band now.

here's a newly released collection of their work, on vinyl non the less:

Paris Orly video. sound quality is terrible, but sounds amazing on the lp. reminds me of autobahn

Good tracks, thanks for the introduction. I will explore the rest of this thread...I only know a couple of the songs posted.

I feel like this would be a good place to post this unreleased Ministry track from 1982, "Same Old Madness".

I've had this song stuck in my head for a while now; it sounds amazing either in the normal speed, or played at the wrong speed, like they used to in Italian clubs:

the whole album is great.

Oppenheimer Analysis. only released a rare cassette called 'new mexico' in the early 80's. they've been getting regognition in recent years with minimal wave / clone releasing some of that material properly.

i've heard good stuff about this dude.

Do I have to be obscure, or can I just mention the first four awesome OMD albums?
