One of my favorite instrumentals from my vinyl collection days. Astradyne, from the album Vienna by Ultravox, is pretty much dominated by synthesizers and a fantastic opening to the album.
Karl Wallinger, the force behind World Party, passed away last week. World Party had some great albums in the late 80s and early 90s, and my favorite was Goodbye Jumbo. And my favorite track – Way Down Now – had classic lyrics.
I just discovered the song “Fun Destruction” by Teleman about half a year ago and it quickly became an earworm. I find it very reminiscent of Ultravox, not so much due to the music as the lyrics.
