Dutch pianist Jasper van 't Hof with this 1984 hit, Pili Pili.

#1980s

A nice song, which begins and builds up in phases - Nowhere Girl by B-Movie.

#1980s #electronic

A little-known track by Depeche Mode, But Not Tonight, found at the end of the reissue of their excellent Black Celebration album (1986).

I don't know Idlewild at all, but I do love this song of theirs, especially the bit where half of the instruments disappear and it builds back up again!

#rock #1990s #indie

A literally-unknown band called Frisby had this song on a magazine (possibly VOX Magazine) compilation CD at some time in the 1990s. I cannot find a single mention of this band on the Internet. How about that?!

#2000s #pop #electroclash

One-time girl band Discoblaster with their 2005 song Fading. Quite fun!

The original 1978 cult song Warm Leatherette, which launched the Mute Records label.
Then, a 2004 remix/cover by electroclash artist Glomag.

#chipmusic #2000s

Depeche Mode vs. Gameboys, in this medley from chipmusic artist Nullsleep. Depeche-fanciers will recognise many tunes in here!

A very strange choice, here, but if you make it to the 2-minute mark it suddenly becomes joyful.

Obscure Britpop/boyband Catch had this tepid hit in the halcyon days of 1997. I liked it.

#2010s #drumnbass

A drum&bass version of the theme tune to the TV show Utopia:

#2000s #electroclash

A cool version of the Pink Panther theme, by Fischerspooner.

#1990s #femme #rock #country

Just one from my childhood. Mary Chapin Carpenter with Shut Up and Kiss Me, from 1994.

#chipmusic #2000s

A cool, uberly Delorean-evoking chip music track from one-album group Mars Wind, called 80s Style.

#chipmusic

One more from Mars Wind, ASCII Gangster. Tres melodic!

An unorthodox one now. The Victoria Police Pipe Band play Waltzing Matilda.

#1990s #pop #Britain

John Prescott clapping awkwardly while the nightmare of Blair's reign officially begins? Only one song can possibly spring to mind...

#1990s #rock #England #Britain

Vic Reeves & the Wonder Stuff with their bizarre 1991 hit Dizzy. The video for this, which I had recorded off TV on a VHS and therefore saw many times, was something else.
