Another great obscure 80s post! Love it. Thanks a lot Paul 🙂
You’re welcome, Daniel 🙂
Haa.. I’ve just been to check the video for this out, it’s fab! So 80s. 😀 Can’t quite put my finger on who this track reminds me of. I’m surprised it didn’t do better.
BTW Paul, I’ve just discovered another German artist, I’m sure you probably know him – Harry Thumann? He did a few albums of synth and disco in the early 80s, including a track that became the inspiration for the Knight Rider theme tune. I imagine he’s right up your street.
You got me Jermajesty I am not familiar with Harry Thumann but upon a quick Youtube search I found him to be very cool and an artist I would like to seek out for my obscure 80s series. 🙂 Good to see you by the way.
Glad to be able to return the favour with new old artists. I only discovered him this weekend, I am baffled by his obscurity. Check out the track Sphinx, that’s what led me to him. x
Wow! Another rare post from the 80s.
Thanks for all this, Paul!
Do you have this single? A very good “Special Maxi Version” (Mixed by John “Jellybean” Benitez).
Sorry Meadows I don’t have that one but I have added it to my waitlist 🙂
Thank you!! Always excited about some new AOR to these ears… Looking forward to giving it a spin (er listen)!
It really is a pretty solid single. I hope you like it 🙂
