Cameo - Single Life Propaganda - p;machinery Arcadia - Election Day Colourbox - Official World Cup Anthem There are a BILLION good tracks, but those sprung to mind and I don't think anyone else mentioned them. A good "radio" station for alternative 80s, I found, and I may be wrong, is at http://www.1.fm/ if you pick their nobby namned "Flashback Alternatives" channel. |
