Various - In A Field Of Their Own... Highlights Of The 80's flac album

If anyone still gets sentimental about the Lower East Side of the ’80s, a fantasy land where Madonna and Fab Five Freddy partied with the graffiti artists Futura and Keith Haring, we probably have perfect records like Tom Tom Club to blame. As the bassist and drummer of the Talking Heads, respectively, Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz were in love with rubbery grooves and polyrthythms.

Yet their omission proves the strength of the final list as each album had to be incredibly strong to end up passing muster. So break out the jelly bracelets, the Members Only jackets, Rubik’s Cubes, Pac-Man video games and Cabbage Patch Dolls, it’s time for a fun-filled flux capacitor fueled trip to the ‘me’ decade. At its worst, Crocodiles is the first bold step in a long series of bold steps for a band just finding its footing. Rather than stumble, however, Echo plant their feet firmly, finding their own sound that’s heavily influenced, yet never derivative. Over the next few years, Ian’s voice will only become more seasoned, and the band as one will explore new territories of pop and post-punk. But for that raw psychedelic sound, you simply can’t beat Crocodiles, a stellar debut by any measurement.

Sure, '80s movies are awesome but this list goes deeper. Ranked here are the best movies about the '80s. John Hughes made plenty of movies set in the '80s, but many great films about the 80s were released in the 1990s and 2000s as well. The unique culture and setting of the eighties, makes for a great movie backdrop, and some of the best stories told on film are tales of the 1980s. Led by their fellow preppie friend Joe Hunt (Ansel Elgort), a group of wealthy boys in 1980s Los Angeles.

In addition to the jazz number and the "Sun City" single, Davis also appeared on several other of the album's tracks, including the galvanizing rap collage "Let Me See Your .

Based around her flowery Satie-influenced piano compositions, it’s the album’s production that puts it in a league of its own. Rather than simply taking the obvious route, Astley bundles her short, minimal arrangements up in a blanket of field recordings, taking us from dawn to dusk with the actual sounds of the summer. The simplicity is deceptive; few artists have ever managed to capture this distinct trait of Britishness so succinctly and so perfectly with so little filler. Nowhere is this attack more pronounced than on highlights (and two utter classics of the 80s) ‘Holiday in Cambodia’ and ‘California Uber Alles’. Those two songs also epitomise Biafra’s scathing lyrics. Plenty of iconic Western records in the 1980s turned their gaze towards the Plateau Continent (Graceland, My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts) but Noir Et Blanc is the decade’s most spirited culture clash.

Their first effort for Capricorn, Free Fall, established Morse as an important newcomer to the fusion genre, and he was recognised for both his compositional skills (having written all 11 tracks) and his musicianship. Production control was handed to Morse, and Dregs of the Earth was released in May 1980. All eight tracks were written by Morse, and the album peaked at number 27 on Billboard's Jazz Album Chart. Arista became increasingly concerned about Dixie Dregs' album sales and pressured the band to change their name to simply the Dregs in an attempt to increase the band's visibility in the public eye. Unsung Heroes included eight new Morse compositions in early 1981, but the name change did little to address Arista's worries.

Listeners were blown away by the simple melodies, minimalist beats and soulful vocals. The bubblegum earnestness of Only You yearns for a love that seems distant and dance hit Don’t Go demands a lover stay. Moyet burns the poseurs in Goodbye 70’s and her blues roots go dark on Winter Kills. Guitars and Peter Hook’s signature bass lines remain but the tone is anchored by atmospheric synths that fit the darker emotions of the album. A bright harmonica opens Love Vigilantes about a homesick soldier but it turns to horror as he realizes he’s dead. Anger is laid bare on Sunrise which starts with an ominous synth line before Hooky breaks in on bass, Bernard Sumner barely sings on key, and a trashing guitar overtakes it in a duel of strings.
