Great singer and another person I should have included in my list for #InternationalSynthDay

Absolutely love Desireless aka Claudie Fritsch-Mentrop and ‘Voyage Voyage’.

#TOTP

I should have included this on my list for #InternationalSynthDay

Happy belated international synth day

Carry On Synthpop: SYNTHESIZER PATEL - ELECTRICITYCLUB.CO.UK ‘Look Around You’ was a BBC2 comedy series which parodied vintage schools TV programmes and shows such as ‘Tomorrow’s World’ which showcased new advances in science and technology. The first programm...

So it’s #InternationalSynthDay and there really is only one post that ELECTRICITYCLUB.CO.UK can make, it’s an archive 2014 chat with Glaswegian actor Sanjeev Kohli who played the legendary Synthesizer Patel in series 2 of the BBC show ‘Look Around You’ 🎹🙌😉 www.electricityclub.co.uk/carry-on-syn...

My spontaneous thread 🧵 for #InternationalSynthDay

Some great suggestions by people across the world in the replies too.

#SynthPop #SynthMusic
#Synthesizer

And to wrap up my spontaneous ad hoc thread on #InternationalSynthDay I couldn’t choose just one track by Ladytron as they’ve done so many great ones.

So I’m going to cheat…

Here they are on KCRW playing 8 of their songs.

I’m going to have a brew and enjoy this. Bye!

It is? Here's my offering. I have the album! On vinyl, no less, from all those years ago.

Lot of good memories listening to The Pet Shop Boys!

#InternationalSynthDay

youtu.be/wDe60CbIagg?...

Again it’s tough sometimes to choose one, otherwise I’ll be here all day!

So here’s one from Talk Talk.

#InternationalSynthDay

youtu.be/TNm4lM-FBHE?...

If you look carefully the connection should be obvious!

#InternationalSynthDay

And The Associates.

youtu.be/9kZ9a45skvU?...

Again I may be stretching the rules of #InternationalSynthDay but I do have a motive.

Brownie points if you can spot the connection later on.

Here’s Martha and the Muffins.

Next up for #InternationalSynthDay is a band I discovered in a record shop on Shetland. Propaganda.

Gold stars to anyone who can identify the 80s movie that used the opening drum sequence in the opening scene…

youtu.be/bHKm4mLTLs8?...

And as it’s my list (so my rules) I’m going to include some more from The Sound as they deserve more recognition. It annoys me that when BBC4 do Old Grey Whistle Test repeats it’s always for acts everyone has already heard of.

#InternationalSynthDay

Suggestions coming thick and fast but an excellent nomination for #InternationalSynthDay has to be The Sound.

Adrian Borland was absolutely brilliant, just wish he was still around making music.

Here he is with The Sound and Winning.

youtu.be/L_qr5oQ3i3s?...

Good shout in my mentions for A Flock of Seagulls but my personal fave is I Ran. (Partly for the mention of Aurora Borealis and partly for La La Land).

youtu.be/iIpfWORQWhU?...

#InternationalSynthDay

First time I saw Sparks on #TOTP I did wonder what was going on. But later I realised what a great band they are and they’re still making music & touring.

So many to choose from for #InternationalSynthDay but here’s just one.

youtu.be/P6I6yr7WDeg?...

@ianford.bsky.social suggested some New Order, so here’s True Faith for #InternationalSynthDay

youtu.be/mfI1S0PKJR8?...

Tangerine Dream - Betrayal is my go to.

Sorcerer is an underrated gem of a coked-up Director as Auteur perfection from Friedkin remaking a film that didn't need remaking.

Also sampled in the X-Men cartoon series theme.

#InternationalSynthDay h/t @alanallport.bsky.social

youtu.be/phJKQcvZ3sE?...

Oh I’ve spent many minutes/hours dancing & singing to this.

Here’s some Erasure for #InternationalSynthDay

youtu.be/x34icYC8zA0?...

Back to core #SynthPop for #InternationalSynthDay with some Eurythmics.

youtu.be/qeMFqkcPYcg?...

It's #InternationalSynthDay

(I may be doing this wrong)

I’m probably stretching the principle of #InternationalSynthDay with this Tears for Fears track; but I absolutely love Pale Shelter.

youtu.be/BUfcT5OoP-8?...

Next some Yazoo (or Yaz if you’re in the USA).

youtu.be/1qq7jTPkjVg?...

#InternationalSynthDay

#InternationalSynthDay

I have to include some Human League.

youtu.be/uPudE8nDog0?...

#InternationalSynthDay any suggestions @misssavoy.bsky.social ?

youtu.be/vmwMhjbThKg?...

youtu.be/zuWQitNlvf0?...

Next up, some Depeche Mode and See You.

#InternationalSynthDay

Some more for #InternationalSynthDay

This time it’s OMD with Electricity.

youtu.be/Y43XLVqjytQ?...

It’s that time of year again!

23rd May is #InternationalSynthDay #Synthesizer

So here’s a classic from Soft Cell.

And it’s the Extended Version too.

😎
