TECHNOPOP

I had an iPod shuffle nostalgia moment this weekend when this Buggles tune, “Technopop” came on. This track is a surprisingly forward thinking pop song that I feel stands the tests of time. There is still great energy and vibe that resonates today even though production-wise it is very 80s. Do yourself a favor and give The Age of Plastic a good listen because once you get past “Video Killed The Radio Star” you will find some amazing gems such as “Elstree” and “Astroboy (And The Proles On Parade)”.

Yes : Dancing Through The Light

The 80s provided an interesting time for Prog rock as it began to dip into the world of synths and New Wave. This led to an interesting collaboration between Yes and The Buggles. Trevor Horn of The Buggles stepped in to vocal duties and Geoff Downes on synth/keys. Here is a track off the remastered version of the album that reminds me of Yellow Magic Orchestra. #2manysynths #2manyvocoder
