Yazoo - Upstairs at Eric’s (1982) [Bootleg]

This was a pirate cassette that I bought and fell in love with immediately.
I thought Alison Moyet was a guy too. 😅
That voice, I had never heard before in the world of Synthpop, ever since.
Unfortunately, this tape can’t be played at the moment because the ribbon snapped a long time ago. I could unscrew the case and put the ribbon back in place but too cumbersome to do so.
But I shall keep this because of the bliss-out feeling when I first heard this album !

Songs with this specific 80s synth-pop sound

Looking for songs that have a similar sound to:

Phil Collins — Sussudio
a-ha — Cry Wolf

Especially that glossy, melodic 80s synth keyboard sound and that 80s/early-90s MTV / neon-at-night feeling.

Any recommendations, tho lesser-known & underrated ones would be greatly appreciated 🫶

Helen Marnie's solo efforts

I don't see her solo stuff posted on here, but I really like them - I love this track as much as anything Ladytron has ever put out.

What’s better: a big song from a niche artist or a niche song from a big artist

I’ve been pondering about it. Niche as in relatively obscure, big as in a well-known.

You may say: The biggest songs from big artists can obscure their other hits, but how can a niche artist have a well-known song? They probably a one-hit wonder or the claim to fame really carries their name just that much.

Asking for a nerds music enjoyers perspective on the matter. Being known doesn’t really affect the quality of a song, but what sounds more appealing to you?
