  1. 🇬🇧 Morrissey "Everyday Is Like Sunday" – 1988

    One of Morrissey’s most evocative early solo recordings. A deceptively gentle melody, sweeping strings and Vini Reilly’s understated guitar create a beautiful counterpoint to the song’s bleak vision of a deserted seaside town and impending catastrophe.
    It reached No. 9 in the UK Singles Chart...

  3. 🇬🇧 Heaven 17 "Temptation" – 1983

    it reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart and became Heaven 17’s biggest hit. It is Heaven 17 at their most theatrical and soulful. Glenn Gregory’s restrained, almost spoken delivery is set against Carol Kenyon’s powerful vocals, creating a striking tension between cool electronic precision and full-blown emotional intensity...

  4. 🇬🇧 The Human League "Don't You Want Me" – 1981

    The contrast between Philip Oakey’s lead vocal and Susan Ann Sulley’s response gives the song its dramatic, almost cinematic quality, while the sequenced synths and crisp electronic rhythm keep everything firmly rooted in the emerging synth-pop sound of the early 1980s.
    It became the UK Christmas No. 1 of the UK Singles Chart.

    🇩🇪 Alphaville "Forever Young" – 1984

    Few synth-pop songs captured the tension between youth, mortality and the passage of time as elegantly as Alphaville’s “Forever Young”. The track turns a seemingly simple pop melody into something genuinely melancholic and timeless...

  24. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, war es Viva la Vida von Coldplay, was ich als erstes von Chris Martin und seiner Band gehört habe. Die Geschichte vom gescheiterten Herrscher, die das Stück beschreibt, und die orchestrale, hymnische Melodie begeistern mich bis heute. Tatsächlich lasse ich mich seit Jahren von diesem Lied wecken. Was das über mich aussagt, weiß ich allerdings auch nicht…
    Wenn ich dieses Album mit den anderen vergleiche, die von Coldplay noch in meinem Plattenschränkchen stehen, sticht es mit seinem sehr orchestralen und weniger melancholischen Klang doch heraus. Ich mag das Album, und Titel wie
    Viva la Vida und Lost finden mehr oder weniger regelmäßig ihren Weg durch meine Gehörgänge. Die anderen Alben mögen mehr was für die Masse und die Konzertgänger sein, aber Viva la Vida eignet sich meiner Ansicht nach besser, um in den eigenen vier Wänden (und vielleicht auch über Kopfhörer) genossen zu werden, während ich einen historischen Roman lese.

  27. 🇺🇸 Sparks "No. 1 in Heaven" – 1979

    Sparks abandoned the conventional rock-band format and stepped directly into the electronic future. Working with Giorgio Moroder, Sparks built an album around synthesizers, drum machines and relentless disco rhythms that was a radical shift that would prove highly influential on the synth-pop that followed...

  32. Speaking of Lene Lovich:

    🇩🇪 🇺🇸 Nina Hagen & Lene Lovich "Don't Kill the Animals" – 1986

    A wonderfully strange collision of two of new wave’s most distinctive voices. Nina Hagen and Lene Lovich bring their theatrical, eccentric vocal styles together on a sharply produced electronic track that turns an animal-rights message into something unmistakably 1980s...

  37. 🇫🇷 Cerrone "Supernature" – 1977

    The title track of Cerrone’s third album, the original album version stretches beyond ten minutes, giving the arrangement room to build from its hypnotic rhythm into something almost cinematic. The English lyrics were written by Lene Lovich, who was not originally credited on the record...

  42. Speaking of Stephen Hague:

    🇬🇧 New Order "True Faith" – 1987

    Stephen Hague’s production gives the track a polished, expansive feel, while Peter Hook’s bass remains a crucial melodic presence beneath the layers of synthesizers and programmed rhythm.
    Released as one of two new songs recorded for Substance, it became New Order’s first UK Top 5 single, reaching No. 4...
