The history of synthpop:
In 1968 the first synthesizer only record was released, “Switched On Bach” with Wendy Carlos. It was music of Bach played on a Moog synthesizer.
In Germany the experimental band Organisation was formed in 1968. They changed their name to Kraftwerk in 1970. At this time they played a disharmonious, but innovative music based upon synthesizers. They released three albums in Germany in the first years of the 1970s. Their music was getting more rhythmical and easier to understand. In 1974 they released their international debut “Autobahn”, which was kind of a breakthrough. It’s a twenty minutes long car drive accompanied by synthesizers and sound effects. They continued to make this kind of music and they have released seven albums since then.

Starting with his best first..it’s..
I went with a friend to see this band in Glasgow way back when.
I kept nipping out to the bar for rum and coke then out at the back of the concert halls for a toke..and was found slumped fast asleep in my seat after the concert ended..ha ha.
The fault was probably on my part and not The Tange’s but they were incredibly hypnotic. :oops:Greek synth-maestro VANGELIS is responsible for one of the greatest soundtracks to one of the greatest movies ever made.. BLADE RUNNER

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That’s how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return itThere’ll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life liveable
But when you think I’ve had enough
From your sea of love
I’ll take more than another riverful
Yes and I’ll make it all worthwhile
I’ll make your heart smileStrangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That’s how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return itThere’ll be days
When I’ll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I’m not trying to say
I’ll have it all my way
I’m always willing to learn
When you’ve got something to teach
O and I’ll make it all worthwhile
I’ll make your heart smilePain
Will you return it
I’ll say it again
PainPain
Will you return it
I’ll say it again
PainPain
Will you return it
I’ll say it again

Will you return it
I won’t say it againStrangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That’s how my love goes

Will you give it to me

Will you give it to me …@pete wrote:
