Any fans of Dudley Simpson's music for Blake's 7 will enjoy this score he did for Doctor Who around the same time, Underworld. It sounds very similar.

It's too soon for spring - I'm enjoying the darkness - but nonetheless I associate this album with the spring. The Brothers Kraft with their 2003 comeback, Tour de France Soundtracks, their first album of new songs since 1986. I remember walking and listening to this for the first time and feeling elated, especially at the climax of track 4. That melody!

A cool version of a Giorgio Moroder track that I like, Utopia.

#robotpop #1970s #electronic #2020s

The Brothers Kraft performing the entire Autobahn album, live in 2024. I should say the title track is only 14 minutes long here, so not by any means a faithful recreation of the original version, but still...

A quirky but catchy song by Howard Devoto of the Buzzcocks, Rainy Season:

Japan with the 12" version of their classic, and eccentric, hit Life in Tokyo:

#2020s #electronic

A rather inventive remix of Japan's Life in Tokyo. (I don't know how people separate the sounds from original recordings, as this guy has. There must be some tool that I'm unaware of.)

The synth sounds of Joy Division, recreated with the same device!

#1970s #electronic #soundtrack

A charming piece of vintage Dudley Simpson, his theme from The Ambassadors of Death:

Lovely pianos in this.

Since it has been taken off YouTube, here is the KLF's masterpiece house classic, America: What Time is Love (the 12" version, naturally).

Be young, be free, the American way!!!!!!

Submitted by a fan. Interesting and fun, and I like the animation!

#hauntology #2000s

One of the founding records of hauntology was Séance at Hobs Lane (2001). My favourite track on that album is this, The Black Drop, reminiscent of 1970s Dudley Simpson music.

#2000s #electronic #femme

A nice track by hipster lesbian duo Telepathe, called Drugged.

#indie #1980s

The Cure with a nice live version of one of their greatest songs, A Forest. This one is from 1987 and lasts over 12 minutes!

Pye Corner Audio with Pathway Six. I imagine this is like being in a British supermarket circa 1980, after hours.
