Not wishing to teach you to suck eggs but, if you really don't know the era, Japan, Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, Cabaret Voltaire, The Cure, Echo and The Bunnymen, The The, The Human League, The Specials, Fun Boy Three (amongst many others) are all well worth exploring.
Apologies if you already know this.

LOL, I've got LPs by the first 4 acts mentioned there, I'm an 80s kid, but wasn't into contemporary music back then, I backtracked on it during the 90s and since. Don't like the Cure though or any of that Goth crap. I do like some stuff on 4AD though like Dead can dance et al. The Specials? Yeh they were good, but wouldn't want to listen to them now. 'Ghost train' is one of the most memorable songs of my childhood, along with Bowies 'Ashes to ashes'.
Japan, Gary Numan, Echo and the Bunnymen, and The Specials are the only 80's groups I know, and of them I only really like the last two.
Other 80's groups I like are Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Nine Below Zero, and Elvis Costello.
Generally I regarded most of the 80's groups as being ephemeral: I would buy several, listen to them for a few weeks and then pass them on.

I associate Dury more with the late 70s, but his LP 'New boots and pants' is a stormer.

I have plenty of 80s stuff that I still play regularly, from The The, The Fixx, Eurythmics, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears, Peter Gabriel, Joe Jackson and more. Enough to keep my record player busy :)

Are the 'Psychedelic Furs' '70s or '80s? Whatever, I like them a lot, as I do with 'The Eurythmics' (and later material from Annie Lennox).

The Psychedelic Furs were formed in the late 70's and probably became more well known/prominent in the 80's.

The music of Genesis is pretty much at odds with everything else I listen to, but what can I say, we like what we like :) I'm guessing you like Peter Gabriel though, gotta like PG.
That's remarkably prescient of you Steve - I do actually have a Peter Gabriel CD. I probably bought it cheaply thinking that maybe I should give his solo career an audition.
IMO it's "OK", but not much more. On the contrary it took me a long time to resolve a love-hate attitude to Steely Dan, in the end realised that I do like them to the extent of possessing a copy of all of their recordings. After the death of Walter Becker, I checked out the solo career of Donald Fagin. But sadly like with that of Peter Gabriel, I haven't been impressed.

You probably knew that i would have to look up the meaning, and you were proved to be right - I did :D
I based my assumption on your liking "World Music", and Peter Gabriel has long championed this via his "Real World" records label. I don't know which PG album you have, but my recommendation would be this one:
Peter Gabriel 4 (Security)

Probably best known for their cover of Tommy Roe's "Dizzy" with Vic Reeves. But they were more than just that, and were a pretty talented bunch, especially their drummer Martin Gilks who unfortunately crashed his motorbike and died.

When the announcer at Woodstock warned against it, all he did was ruin the trip for many by putting them in the wrong mindset :(

That's new to me (as is a lot of the music being cited here of late).
What's it like - the 'Pre-Raphaelite' style of the cover suggests it might not be to my taste. But to paraphrase a saying: "You shouldn't judge a record by the cover".

I really don't know whether you would like it Barry, but I'll seek out her best-known song from this album (Moorlough Shore a traditional Irish love song), which is pretty representative.
Caroline Lavelle is an English singer/songwriter and cellist, whose vocals and cello have been used for many over the years by artists as diverse as Peter Gabriel, Massive Attack, Undertones and Thomas Dolby. Maybe sounds a bit like Enya.
I would describe her as "Celtic New Age" (I don't know if that's a genre, but that's what comes to mind). This album was produced by musician/composer/producer William Orbit, whose best-known work is probably producing Madonna's "Ray of Light" album, and it shows. His production methods run through this like "Blackpool" in a stick of rock. He's done a fair bit of what I would describe as "electronic classical", he had a fairly big hit in the 90s with his take on Barber's Adagio for Strings, and did an album called "Pieces in a Modern Style" which I'll be putting on next.
Here you go Barry, see what you think.

Well, here you are, all you modern day solo female artist fans on here; this is an album VERY influenced by "Ray Of Light" era Madonna, trip hop and modern electronic dance music and strangely track 7 reminds me of Kate Bush mixed with a dance beat.............

Well, here you are, all you modern day solo female artist fans on here; this is an album VERY influenced by "Ray Of Light" era Madonna, trip hop and modern electronic dance music and strangely track 7 reminds me of Kate Bush mixed with a dance beat.............

Well I gave that William Orbit "Pieces in a Modern Style" another go, and I still don't like it.
It sounds like something you get when your insurance company puts you on hold ("We're experiencing an unusually large volume of calls, so here's some pretend classical cack to be going on with") :(
It got good reviews on the Amazon, so maybe it's just me. But I'm glad it only cost me a quid on t'car boot.

I first heard the album 15 years ago when auditioning some PMC DB1i speakers at Audio T in Manchester, which despite their dinky dimensions managed to reach the bass frequencies William Orbit was so fond of. I didn't buy the speakers, but went straight out and bought the album :)

Totally agree ! I saw her play this live (fantastic) and waited (years I think) for it to be released on CD. I think the label dropped it and she had to release it herself.

Yes, I have the original release on CD, but I think not many around, and several years later she re-released it herself. Also saw her live several times, amazing artist and always witty with her chat with the crowds.

I'm sure like most of us on here, I don't pay much attention to the "Top 40" charts these days, but I spotted in a news feed that Lola Young has got to number one with "Messy" - 43 weeks after it was first released. Apparently, she covered "Together in Electric Dreams" for the John Lewis Christmas advert, which I haven't seen. Anyway, so giving it a spin via Tidal. It's pretty good so far, actually.

As long as she can get through the album without resorting to autotune that'll make a nice change from the usual chart cack.
Before Christmas Anita's lad asked me what I'd like for Christmas, and I said "How about that album by Charli XCX?" Then a few days later I heard the album at a mates, and it was awful. I got back to Anita's lad saying don't bother getting me that album, turns out I was too late, he'd already got it. Not only that, instead of getting the CD it was a deluxe edition double album on vinyl, and must have cost a fortune :doh: So now I have to pretend it's grown on me and quite good after all.
I think I'll ask for socks next year.

For some reason I could never get on with Steeleye Span, whereas I was a big fan of Fairport Convention - up to the point where Dave Sawbrick appeared to take over and dominate the group.

I like the ones, like this, which are more traditional folk sounding, not so much the more electric and pop influenced stuff.

Nice bike.
Thanks Mike. Sadly not running at the moment, but will get it sorted and MOT'd at some point.
So I ended up going down a rabbit hole last night - I was looking for a CD single on my server, and couldn't find it. Then it dawned on me that although I ripped all my CD albums to HDD around 15 years ago, that I didn't bother with the singles. I don't have that many (c. 200 I would guess) but suffice to say I am now going through and ripping them all, playing a few along the way. I have some where I have 2 or 3 of the same single, as there were different versions with different extra tracks - a good way to get you to buy more than one copy to help with the charts!
Anyway, that's why I ended up playing the Catatonia album as I have 3 of their singles. And why I am now playing this:

The All Seeing I - Pickled Eggs and Sherbet (1999)
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7b/Pickled_Eggs_and_Sherbet.jpg
With cameos by Tony Christie, Phil Oakey and Jarvis Cocker.
Which leads nicely on to another Dean Honer band:
I Monster - Neveroddoreven (2004)
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/19/Neveroddoreven2003.jpg
Apparently "all the rage" again after something on TikTok? Who knows, probably my daughter!
Tune!
Wide Open Space was another banger.
Thanks Mike. Sadly not running at the moment, but will get it sorted and MOT'd at some point.
So I ended up going down a rabbit hole last night - I was looking for a CD single on my server, and couldn't find it. Then it dawned on me that although I ripped all my CD albums to HDD around 15 years ago, that I didn't bother with the singles. I don't have that many (c. 200 I would guess) but suffice to say I am now going through and ripping them all, playing a few along the way. I have some where I have 2 or 3 of the same single, as there were different versions with different extra tracks - a good way to get you to buy more than one copy to help with the charts!
Anyway, that's why I ended up playing the Catatonia album as I have 3 of their singles. And why I am now playing this:

Gaudi - Magnetic
Catatonia - International Velvet (1998)
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8c/International_Velvet.jpg
Another one I've not played in years, decades probably. Forgotten how good they were.
I bought my Kawasaki ZX6-R brand new in 1998, when this came out. I named the bike "Cerys" after the lead singer because she looked gorgeous from certain angles and had a nice rasp to her voice...
I used to love the way she rolled her Rs in the line "Road rage".
However I wouldn't describe her as gorgeous: to my eyes her chin is too large. Still beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Indeed - that's why I said "from certain angles" - the same as my bike! Agree on her Rs though! ;-)

One of those rare “I’ve really enjoyed tonights listening session” evenings that makes it all worthwhile. The stereo is totally on song and I really should do more dub sessions.
Is Gaudi a dub legend or what ?

To be fair, Cerys Matthews has a good knowledge of music. Have you ever heard her in the series "Add to playlist" on BBC Radio 4. It's very much like the thread 'Degrees of separation' you started here on AoS, many years ago, which ran to over 800 posts!

Gosh, I had forgotten about that thread, was good whilst it lasted! I shall have to seek her out on BBC R4 - have heard her on 6 Music in the past, and she is a good presenter and as you say, very knowledgeable.

Is it his music generally or this particular album? i have another (Liquid Spirit) which I much prefer. But I was giving this its second play since I got it 3 years ago, thinking I should give it a chance.

It must be that particular album. I was impressed by his performance when I saw him on 'Later with Jools Holland' and so bought the album in question, but was disappointed with it. I still have it, so maybe I should give it another listen.

This has happened to me several times over the years. I have seen many great performances on Jools Holland, sometimes buying albums on the strength of those performances. And then been disappointed.

One of my all-time favourite bands, I don't have that set though.
At over £600 for the set of 6 discs, it can stay rare as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't even pay that for the even rarer 7 disc set.
Wow, crazy price! I love Love but I think that's the only album of theirs I have on vinyl, just streamed a couple of tracks but a bit late to be playing them - they need to be played LOUD!
This is a bit more "10.45pm on a a school night"

1969, SHVL 759. Probably my favourite Purple album if I had to pick one.
