Released today 44 years ago:Kraftwerk "Computer World" – 1981
A visionary blend of electronic minimalism and sharp social commentary, "Computer World" captures the essence of the digital age before it truly began. Iconic, precise, and endlessly influential.
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is a song by British #synthpop duo #Eurythmics. It was released as the fourth and final single from their second album of the same name in January 1983. It was their breakthrough hit, establishing the duo worldwide. It reached number two on the #UKSinglesChart in March 1983, and number one on the US #Billboard Hot 100 six months later.

Crucial Track for May 7, 2025: "Chains of Love" by Erasure
Today's song is a song that I just really like and always have, Chains of Love by Erasure. Erasure is one of my all time favorite groups from back in the 1980's that wasn't considered hair metal.

Another unjustly labeled “one hit wonder” band.
I’ve always found that to be such a dismissive term, as if any artists’ only value is in whatever their one hit was.
The song that this record is known for (“I Ran”) isn’t even the best song on this record. Start to finish, a phenomenal #synthpop album, which for me, is anchored by “Space Age Love Song”.

“80s music saved us once. It can save us again.”
Now that we’re on tour, I believe this statement now more than ever.
Because every night that we get to sing and dance and be together with openhearted people, who are looking for genuine connection, belonging, and refuge — just like we are — in the midst of the noise and chaos of this time ... I’m reminded that there isn’t *anything* we can’t get through when we do it together.

DiscogsDienstag: Gary Numan – Berserker
„Berserker“ war 1984 das sechste Studioalbum von Gary Numan, benannt nach einer Sience-Fiction-Buchreihe des amerikanischen Autors Fred Saberhagen. Es war das erste Album, das Numan auf seinem eigenen Label „Numa Records“ herausgebracht hat. Zuvor war er bei Beggars Banquet unter Vertrag, bei denen z. B. auch Bauhaus waren. Numan hat auf Beserker einen Stilwandel vollzogen, vom bis dahin gewohnten New Wave/Synth-Pop hin zu mehr Electronic-Rock und Funk-Elementen mit Bass-Linien, die an Mick Karn (Japan, Dalis Car) erinnern, der tatsächlich an Numans Album „Dance“ (1981) mitgewirkt hatte. Der neue Sound kam bei vielen Kritikern und Fans nicht gut an. Es war zudem das bis dahin am schlechtesten verkaufte Album Numans.
Nichtsdestotrotz mag ich persönlich den Titeltrack sowie „Cold Warning“, „The Hunter“ und „A Child With The Ghost“, das Numan seinem Freund und Bassisten Paul Gardiner widmete, der am 18.02.1984 mit nur 25 Jahren an einer Überdosis starb.
„Berserker“ wurde am 25.04.2025 als 4-CD-Box wiederveröffentlicht. Diese beinhaltet Bonustracks und das Live-Album „White Noise“, das ich übrigens auch auf Vinyl besitze.
Alles neu macht der Mai? Neh, Freitag ist #GothDiscoInferno!
Ich knüpfe an die letzte Sendung an, viele Bands sind wieder dabei, wie The Cure, Siouxsie And The Banshees, Fields Of The Nephilim, Angels Of Liberty, Rosetta Stone und Paralysed Age.
Dazu gibt es einen kleinen Themenschwerpunkt, 10 von 42 Bands kommen aus Finnland.
Beendet den Brückentag mit mir ab 22 Uhr:
