80's synthesizer tracks...

[GTAaddict]

...Anyone fancy reccomending any 80's synthesizer tracks, preferably ones a bit off the beaten track. I've got most of the big and well-known ones, and I'm on the lookout for some hidden gems, if they exist! I've got this mad thing for the 80's synthesizer sound.

Thanks.

try Never Never by the Assembly

Yazoo - Only You

Erasure - I bet your mad at me (its a 2005 song but its superb)

depeche mode - people are people

bronski beat - smalltown boy

astradyne by ultravox..... its on the vienna album, it`s a 7 minute instrumental track , pure synth classic

[pomsta]

Anything by Jean Michael Jarre (sp?), I particularly love Rendevous 4.

Gary Numan put out a live 45 "On Broadway" which came as a freebee with the "Telekon" album, which has a synth piece in it which is the best.
Billy Currie (Ultravox) played the main part of it (I think)
It is available on the CD version of "The Pleasure Principle"
Don't know if you can get it on iTunes or something, but it's well worth a go if you don't know it.

Wishing I had a Photograph Of You - A Flock Of Seagulls, especially the extended version

[waynepompey]

Axel F - Harold Faltameyer

[wookette]

Release - The Human League. very short piece but good stuff

[electricblue]

omd-enola gay!

[wookette]

try gary numans 'airplane' ......fab!

Anything with Georgio Moroder's name on it. The soundtrack to Midnight Express is ace.
Propaganda has been mentioned but what about ZTT era Art of Noise?
The Sign by the Human League is a gem.
Anything with Arthur Baker's name it will be good, i'm thinking Confusion by New Order or IOU by Freez (or Thieves Like Us by New order aswell)
Kraftwerk?
You can get a bit weirder by looking for bands like Cabaret Voltiare or Front 242 or even bands like Yello or Laibach.
Also look out for Wally Baradou
