Classic single that crossed over to so many genres. Alternative, freestyle, pop, etc.

One day I will have an original 1984 pressing, but thankful to labels like Minimal Wave for reissuing these singles for us.

Oh, I missed it.. hope to get it soon

I would love to check out Flashes, but the app still isn’t coming up for me in the App Store 😡

✨Camouflage✨

Classic, timeless, and just never seems to age. I remember when it came out there was confusion on whether or not it was a new Depeche Mode single. More of a compliment to Camouflage’s musicality than a knock on them.

‘The Great Commandment’ US 12” - 1988 via Atlantic

Nitzer Ebb ‘Hearts And Minds’ UK 12” and Limted Edition 12” - 1989 via Mute (the US pressing on Geffen pokes its head in there for a second at the end 😉)

Hard Corps ‘Lucky Charm’ UK 12” - 1987 via Rhythm King

Hard Corps should have been way bigger, they even toured with The Cure and Depeche Mode. Like Psyche, Parade Ground, or Portion Control they are deeply appreciated by those who know, but criminally under appreciated other wise.

Depeche Mode ‘But Not Tonight’ US 12” - 1986 via Sire @depechemode.com

✨Xymox✨ ‘Imagination’ US 12” - 1989 via Wing

They are the robots… 🤖 #kraftwerk

“Let’s get happy” The Cure playing “Doing The Unstuck” live in Detroit on The Wish Tour back in 1992.

This was recorded and released on the “Show” live album and video in 1993 ❤️

✨Red Flag✨ Classic single from one of the better late 80’s synth pop bands. Up there in quality with bands like Anything Box, Camouflage, Cause & Effect, and Boxcar in my book.

Red Flag ‘If I Ever’ US 12” - 1989 via Enigma

#redflag #synthpop #vinyl

Depeche Mode’s epic show at The Crystal Palace in London back in 1993 with Special Guests: The Sisters Of Mercy. There were 2 other support acts: Dub Syndicate & Marxmen.

After The Sisters ended their set, Andrew Eldritch said to the audience “Enjoy the puppet show” referring to #depechemode

✨INXS✨ I saw today was the late Michael Hutchence’s birthday and I thought I would honor it was a INXS classic.

INXS ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ US 12” - 1988 via Atlantic #inxs #vinyl

Martin L. Gore ‘Loverman’ UK 12” - 2003 via Mute

Here’s Mart’s cover of Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds “Loverman” from his ‘Counterfeit 2’ covers album. I absolutely loved the production on this record.
