Arcadia / Talk Talk - Election Day / Life's What You Make It flac album

Arcadia were a new wave British group formed in 1985 by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor of Duran Duran as a side project during a break in that band's schedule. The project was only active during 1985 and 1986 for just one album, So Red the Rose, which was certified Platinum in the United States and included the singles "Election Day", "Goodbye Is Forever", "The Flame" and "The Promise (ft. David Gilmour and Sting)".

It's My Life is the second studio album by English band Talk Talk, released in 1984.

Talk Talk was an English pop and rock band formed in 1981, led by Mark Hollis (vocals, guitar, piano), Lee Harris (drums), and Paul Webb (bass). The group achieved early chart success with the synth-pop singles "Talk Talk" (1982), "It's My Life", and "Such a Shame" (both 1984) before moving towards more experimental music in the mid-1980s, pioneering what became known as post-rock.

One Hit Wonders: Election Day – Arcadia. It’s amazing to think that Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes, stalwarts – architects, even – of classic pop could ever have been responsible for a one-hit wonder. Election Day is important because it allows us to see what happens when top performers at the peak of their game get to tear up the rulebook and use up all the budget and publicity they have at their disposal to make music that excites them, as opposed to anyone else. To say nothing of its delicious spoken-word cameo from none other than Grace Jones, then at the peak of her powers.
