The Unknown Beauty Of The 80's Volume 100

And so we come on the last April Friday of the year 2020 to Volume 100. Never did I expect when I started this project way back in 2005, that I would get to number 100. But well I reached the 100. I am not gonna predict how long I wish to continue, simply because I still like to search for Unknown Beauties and also I am a hugh fan of eighties New Wave, Synthpop etc. and prefer and appreciate to listen to non charting alternative music. Of which I always wonder why did such nice tunes not make it into the charts. The tracks: 01 About 9 Times - There Is No… 3:54 02 Two Mind Crack - Upside Down 4:55 03 Telepathic - We Are Telepathique 4:05 04 Panic - Ticket To The Tropics (extended cub mix) 6:20 05 Ronny - If You Want Me To Stay 5:48 06 The Stage - I See Love 2:56 07 The Klones - Disco Rhythm 3:35 08 50/50 - Memories Linger (7" single) 3:30 09 The Time Dance - Picture 3:43 10 Frozen Ghost - Promises 3:52 11 Villa De Ville - Everything Counts 3:20 12 Future Daze - House On The Hill 2:

The Unknown Beauty Of The 80's Volume 97

For the upcoming days I will present you a new Volume running up to number 100 on Friday. With the Covid-19 virus still being active all over the world, and still working at home, I save at least two hours of commuting traffic, which I use for other things. This finally gave me time to clean up my still to do folders on my harddrives and therefore was able to create four new Volumes with songs that were shelved for quite some time. So here is number 97: 01 Lemon Hearts - Shake Yourself 3:16 02 Paul Hyde & The Payolas - You're The Only Love 4:06 03 Inga & Agneta Humpe - Careless Love (radio version) 4:02 04 Intimate Obsession - Assassin 4:23 05 The Sisterhood - Giving Ground (RSV) 4:51 06 Birch And Hallam - Pray For Me 3:28 07 Opéra de Nuit - Amour Noir 5:53 08 Rainbirds - Blueprint 3:49 09 Future Toys - Perfect Strangers 5:08 10 Sodom - Material Flowers 7:26 11 John Adams - Strip This Heart 4:39 12 Axodry - Save Me 5:56 13 Excellent Accident - Bells Of Tomorrow 4:12 14 Lars
