GAZEBO - I LIKE CHOPIN (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back..... 1983 saw 'I like Chopin' by Italian musician 'Gazebo' (Paul Mazzolini) shoot to No 1 in the Music charts, mostly in Europe... Even Japan rated a No 9 position.

Produced by Pierluigi Giombini, this single went on to sell 8 million copies...

Prior to popular belief, the Piano part is not a Chopin composition....

Such a stunning sound, a true masterpiece of the 80s.....

SSQ - SYNTHICIDE (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back.....Fronted by Stacey Q (Stacey Swain), SSQ was a 1983 synthpop band formed from the band "Q "....

From SSQ's only album called 'Playback', the song 'Synthicide' was also featured in the 1984 comedy movie 'Hardbodies'.

Stacey Q and Guitarist Jon St James went on to create 'Stacey Q' in 1984 and spawned singles 'Two of Hearts' and 'We Connect'....

Such a stunning sound that is still fresh and vibrant, even in today's standards.....

'Synthicide' Should be the anthem of the 80s...

DROIDS - THE FORCE (Lost Hits)

Hello and welcome back.... Early French space synth...
1977 saw new sounds like no-one before, so futuristic, so electronic... what was this new sound?

The Force was from the 1978 album 'Star Peace'

Kinda reminds me of an early version of 'Daft Punk', awesome sounds......

"These ARE the Droids you are looking for"
