Released today 46 years ago:
🇬🇧 OMD "Enola Gay" – 1980
An example of how Andy McCluskey could turn a deeply serious subject into something irresistibly melodic. Bright synthesizers, a crisp electronic rhythm and an almost deceptively cheerful vocal sit against lyrics about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
The only single from "Organisation", it reached No. 8 in the UK...#omd #synthpop #electropop #newwave #80smusic #vinyl #music #vinylrecords #nowspinning #nowlistening

Released today 46 years ago:
🇬🇧 Killing Joke "Requiem / Change" – 1980
“Requiem” is all tension and propulsion. “Change” strips the arrangement back to an equally hypnotic groove, while the alternate “Requiem” gives the maxi-single an extra layer of intensity...

#AlternateFridayMusic
Sept 25 2026
The prompt is #bleakComsat Angels, “Restless” from Sleep No More (1981)
After punk music, and specifically UK punk, burned everything down, a stripped down, sometimes dark post-punk sound began moving across the landscape. Certainly Joy Division would be an easy choice here, but I’m going with this somber track from Comsat Angels, a band that I think should have been bigger, with their icy sound that foreshadowed what would become known as New Wave in the States.
