One of my 2026 favourites. Wonderful to listen to.

There's a saying: "If this was the first ___ you listened to, you're not going to listen to another one."

A classic example.

Numan's PPG Wave-era music was way, way better than this.

Talk Talk's highest-charting 1980s classic: 'Today'.

Only the 1990 'natural history' re-release of 'It's My Life' surpassed it in the UK to-date.

From New South Wales to Perth, I Believe...

Great vocals.
Compelling piano-synths.
And that wonderful woodwind instrument.

You can't go wrong... if you've got the class...
@smiain182.bsky.social #forgotten80s

PSB & Dubstar have both covered The Passions' 1981 classic.
@rosielebontennant.bsky.social

Their other release, 'More To Lose' featured on the 2006 'Retro:active5' Hi-Bias compilation.

Those were the days...

A brilliant 12" mix too.
#forgotten80s @purlyqueen.bsky.social

All brilliant stuff tonight.
Everyone did well.

Very Alexander O'Neal's 'What's Missing'.

Superb craftmanship from the great @mikestockmusic.bsky.social

Great music on #forgotten80s

Depeche Mode are eligible for airplay again this week. 'Dreaming Of Me' to close out two weeks ago...
@chrisatyeart.co.uk #forgotten80s

'Welcome To The Real World' is worth researching too. Praise to @helenc77.bsky.social for 'Uniform Of Youth' and the title track on #80sTM

Praise to all the tracks tonight so far. Enjoying them all... #forgotten80s

Delivering true class in One2Many.
Beautiful, uplifting music.

And greatness from The Cure too.

100% brilliant BRILLIANT!

I've been trying to use 'Sweet Dreams' synths, layered on to 'Who's That Girl' vocal melodies. With some Fairlight vox pads thrown in too, of course.

Struggling to achieve this though!?!

Wonderful radio! @ginsoaked.bsky.social @helenc77.bsky.social

Just tuned in myself.
Am I listening to Travis's older brothers here..?
Good stuff! #80sTM @geebobuk.bsky.social @ginsoaked.bsky.social @helenc77.bsky.social

I once owned the 12" of 'Let Him Go'. I don't believe the old vinyl player my Mum bought, in replacement of her much better vinyl turntable I scratched and broke, did the track much justice in faithful listening!
@geebobuk.bsky.social #forgotten80s

It's one of the classic Depeche Mode songs that SOUNDS so much better performed live.

Again: 100% music on #forgotten80s

Has the 1 in 5 weeks Depeche Mode broadcast rate for the first 500 programmes still kept pace?

Do you remember 'The Weight Of The Wind', from their second album 'Scoundrel Days'?

Probably the same synth.
@popmusicjimmy.bsky.social #forgotten80s

The live performance I saw a video of on the other platform sounded quite superb.

Par for the course with a-ha though.
100% music.
@ohalicia.bsky.social #forgotten80s

Including the vox pad Fairlight synth. #forgotten80s

The album 'Move 2 Move' was great too.
#forgotten80s @kathie72.bsky.social

#forgotten80s
We've been treated to some wonderful Fairlight vox pad synths tonight. 'Things Can Only Get Better' a classic. 'Appetite' too.

'The Order Of Death';
Miami Vice signature of the highest order.
