Depeche Mode's music feels quite dated in 1984, when you compare it to the Hi-NRG stuff that was around.
I have absolutely no recollection of that Nick Heyward record. Like, none at all.
His appearance on the CiN 80s show t'other night was a real low light.I was amazed that his solo career went on as long as it did. I remembered it very much as blink and you'd miss it.

Mind you, Annie Lennox inventing quite a few boyband members looks in that 1984 video...That Eurythmics record, however, is utter tripe.
Does that not coincide with the show being cut to a regular 30 minutes?Looking ahead to 1985 I see the BREAKERS section is born. This is really getting to my era.
My sister had a picture disc of The Frog Chorus. In fairness, she was 7. And it was a shaped picture disc too.
...and of course, it means the record has become a Xmas perennial without actually having anything to do with Xmas.Going from two sassy club hits to something like The Power of Love was such a brilliant move and really completed the 1-2-3 of classic singles with elegance and style. Giving it a full on Xmas Story make over for the video was a brave and genius move, seeing as two before they were making music and videos about ejaculation.
It really is.Just watching a bit of the Xmas special. Howard Jones' choice of outfit is really something.
If only they'd thought of it sooner, we wouldn't have lost so many episodes...This self presented affair is quite odd.
But John Peel.If only they'd thought of it sooner, we wouldn't have lost so many episodes...
