Anything deemed interesting made it onto this mix and as per usual I cut it back a lot and this is what I was left with.
I seem to be gravitating to the era of the 1980s recently partly due to frustration of always hearing the same songs on rotation on people's 80s Pandora station, As much as I like Men at Work I don't want to hear 'from the land down under' everyday.
I like the focus to be on the synthesizers and the creativity that is required to really make those machines speak, Take 'Tony Banks- Charm' a total synth driven monster with rapid key changes and an almighty intro.
I wanted to include at least a couple of vocal tracks and chose 'Anna Domino - Caught' as I think it's a masterpiece, it builds slowly and adds a few layers before the vocal starts to dominate, simple and very well conceived.
I hope you enjoy the mini mix and discover a few tracks you've never heard before
