Only recently discovering how badass Lisa Dal Bello is. Everyone knows how the 'Ryche rocked "Gonna Get Close to You" into a new stratosphere but the album her original is from some of the best, weirdly unheralded it seems 80's weird pop for lack of a better term. It was sort of her Kate Bush Dreaming moment where she more or less took over everything. Maybe she's more of a cult figure in Canada?

All that 1980s shit is over.
Brothers and sisters - we'll turn the volume down.
Brothers and sisters - we're gonna shut down this mechanical stuff,
That makes us feel like victims.
Take those machine guns, and turn 'em down.
Yeah. Turn off those cop shows.
Listen to those helicopters, listen to the sirens.
Makin' ya feel nervous, and anguish.
1980s shit - turn it down.

'60s singles dump. @Slayed Necros would prob dig most of these.


i recall i slapped 5 stars on this before my first spin even finished, which basically never happens. still gives me shivers.


familiar to anyone who's delved into a few nuggets comps but still underheard.


basically 'bad girl' on downers. amazing.


best seeds tune.


intro riff is pure dead moon.


stalker pop canon. creepiest shit.


known to fans of blue velvet but an amazing song in its own right.


my favourite doo-wop song. god tier chorus.


absolutely ridiculous voice. so much talent in that era of soul.



and a couple of awesome rocksteady tunes.

 

[CiG]

best seeds tune.

Back in the day I would have agreed, but these days...

Been obsessively listening to these tracks lately. Puts me in a good mood instantly, 80's Madonna was so killer.

Also here are some more recent non-metal tunes I've been playing a lot:



Personally I felt the new LDR album was a bit top heavy, but still contains a few gems, especially the title track.



Such a good song, haven't dipped into her album yet, but once I've worn this one out I probably will take the dive. Anybody who enjoys ABBA check this one out.

(There's about 1 minute of silence after the 5:02-mark.)

this is really nice retro synthwave

 

[CiG]

The Scientists out of nowhere with a new album.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

New Armenian electronic artist. Not totally sold on the other song on YT but this is great.
