howard jones and peter gabriel always do it for me.. they could write a damn good pop song

paigesauce · 03-12-09, 06:25 PM

love third one... reminds me of when my dad owned glamour shots in florida. i was just a baybee.

J. Fees · 03-12-09, 06:25 PM

as much as they are overplayed in doctors offices and the most uncool places on earth, these songs are greatness. the melodies of howard jones are unreal.

3rd one is the Human League... definitely good stuff

paigesauce · 03-12-09, 06:28 PM

i know the second one too... lol.

J. Fees · 03-12-09, 06:28 PM

analog synth bass is the shiz.

djredeye · 03-12-09, 07:43 PM

Howard Jones- Things can only get better 12" version!! They used to play that shit on K104 even!!

Let us not forget Scritti Poliiti- Perfect Way/Wood Beez/ Boom! There She Was!

Something About You is an amazing peice of pop too...the Shep Pettibone 12 inch was pure bliss. That lead keyboard riff is undeniable.

i used to have a Yamaha DX 7 in jr high. My uncle had an Emulator 2 like on Ferris Bueller...with the big ass floppy disc. When i saw that Depeche Mode used those for the Black Celebration era...he immediatley became the coolest uncle in the world (1986...9th grade)

the album version and the danny tenaglia remixes that came out are favs of mine

I too have a soft spot for Howard Jones, Human League, etc. I have so much 80's stuff it is rediculous.

Roos · 03-13-09, 01:43 PM

My studio is full of this shit.

Howard Jones is one of my faves as well as Scritti Pollitti. I have all of the 12 inches by both. David Gamson is one funky man. Check out Tony LeMans sometime. It's like Prince and Scritti Pollitti fucked or something. Really good shit. Had a club hit called Higher Than High that's great.

Terry played The Breakfast Club last night. Another great one.

Oh, and The Human League put out an all instrumental album of their songs that is fantastic. It's called The League Unlimited Orchestra. I've got it if you guys can't find it. Let me know and I'll post it up. Beautiful stuff.
