RE: https://toot.community/@openculture/116371837057028950
A very inventive acoustic (!) version of New Order's song "Blue Monday" from 1986. Love it.

@edwardchampion Does this one fit in? Still quite "punky" in feeling, but quite accomplished and a decently produced sound.
The Sound - I Can't Escape Myself
Released in 1980 on their debut album "Jeopardy"

Talk Talk - Living In Another World
Live in Salamanca, Spain in 1986. Talk Talk had released their album "The Colour of Spring" and went on live tour.
This concert took place on the Plaza Mayor in Salamanca, a beautiful central place in the center of the city from 1724. And I was in the audience on this warm summer night as a young student.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUPDWCLV3g0

Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven (Official video)
From their album "Doolittle" (released in 1989)
You can never have too much Pixies in your timeline. What a powerful mix.

Pixies - Hey
Another great tune by this band from Boston.
Published on their second album "Doolittle" in 1989. Fun fact: Kurt Cobain, singer of Nirvana, was a big fan of the Pixies. -
The Weathermen - Poison!
Not sure if this is classified as EBM (Electronic Body Music).
The available info on this band is very little and sometimes contradictory. They seem to be of Belgian origin, but not sure. This tune was released in 1987, i had this on vinyl. "You can call me poison". -
Grace Jones - Walking in the Rain (Live)
Another fine cover version. The original was written by the Australian band "Flash and the Pan". Grace Jones published this track on her album "Nightclubbing" in 1981. I have no idea where this live performance took place.
-
Laurie Anderson - Sharkey's Day
From her excellent second studio album "Mr. Heartbreak", released in 1984. She had lots of collaborators on this record, among them William S. Borroughs (whose speaking voice can be heard in the last song), Peter Gabriel, Nile Rogers and Bill Laswell. At that time this record (vinyl) was a masterpiece of sound production.
-
Tom Waits - Clap Hands
Released on his album "Rain Dogs" in 1985.
The video is not official, but produced by a fan and I like it.I always regarded his albums "Swordfishtrombones", "Rain Dogs" and "Frank's Wild Years" as some kind of meta music, music that is telling us something about music.

David Sylvian - Orpheus
This tune was released in 1987 on the wonderful solo album "Secrets of the Beehive" by David Sylvian, former singer of Japan. Ryuchi Sakamoto plays the synth and piano in this tune.

The Cure - A Forest (acoustic version)
This tune was published for the first time on the album "Seventeen seconds" in 1980. I actually prefer this version. although the album version is excellent, too.i bought this vinyl record the same day it was available.

Taco - Puttin' on the Ritz
The title was written by jazz composer Irving Berlin in 1927 (He also wrote, among many other jazz standards, "White Christmas", performed by Bing Crosby).
This nice cover version was released in 1982
-
Pere Ubu - 30 Seconds Over Tokyo
I bought this tune on a maxi single but I sold nearly all my vinyl records with a few exceptions. Pere Ubu is weird, but brilliant. They formed in Akron, Ohio, the same city Devo came from. in the U.S. Wikipedia is vague about the year of publication.

Tom Waits - It's more than rain
This song was released on the album 'Franks Wild Years' in 1987.
I really like his music, especially from this period. The band sounds like a vaudeville act that had a beer too much, but that fits perfectly.

Comsat Angels - Independence Day
Originally from their debut album "Waiting for a miracle" from 1980, this version is actually from 1983. I like this version better. -
Einstürzende Neubauten - Z. N. S.
This is a weird but very cool combination of industrial music and Japanese ballet in a music video directed by Sogo Ishii. The tune was released on their album from 1985 "Halber Mensch", from my of view their masterpiece. "Es tanzt das Z. N. S.". Z. N. S. is the acronym for "Zentrales Nerven System" (central nervous system).

Brian Eno & David Byrne - The Jezebel Spirit
Released in 1981 this collaboration between David Byrne (Also singer of The Talking Heads) and Brian Eno was one of the first records to make extensive use of sampling. In this tune they used the voice of an exorcist as the lead voice. The exorcist is trying to expel the spirit of Jezebel.
This tune appeared on the album "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoG2rAkAQvI

Anne Clark - Our Darkness
Published in 1984. I have heard this song so often in clubs.
Fun Fact: The synthesizer theme from this song is referenced in Rammstein's "Deutschland" tune at about 0:58

Talk Talk - Happiness is easy
From their 1986 album "The colour of Spring" remastered.
This British band has always been one of my favourites, although they changed their style of music dramatically over time.
