This channel acts as an excellent prompt to check out forgotten 80s synth pop albums that could be re-bought (to replace old tape and vinyl recordings) or re-download, in a better resolution.

Mange tout Rodney Mange tout...🤣 Seriously a great album and yet another synth duo that produced fantastic singles , and indeed albums at this time. Not the most famous maybe as some of the others , but equally as important. Thanks again guys.😍👍

Blancmange were the most underrated of the 80s synthpop bands, I love their stuff. This album contains the track Murder which is brilliant

Mange Tout is a stand out for synth pop in 1984! A solid follow up for Blancmange

[@electroniccafemusic]

100% spot on. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW

@@electroniccafemusic love the content about these wonderful 80s musicians and their music and always wanted to be able to conduct an interview with Neil, i admire your connection with such a great musician

[@scatton61]

I have to admit that i prefered the production on their 1st LP. Blind vision lost it's 'English edge' for me. I have an audio recording of their Chanel 4 Tube appearance and that is what I played when I was a night club DJ at the time.

Hey, are you planning something for the 50th anniversary of Kraftwerk's Autobahn album later in the year? (sorry for asking here, I don't do any social media, only YT)!

[@martinfarnworth6659]

Half a great album imo.When they were great their in the A league of 80s synth. Infectious singles. Also love Game above my head. A few lumpen tracks on side b let it down slightly.

[@electroniccafemusic]

Thanks for comments. Such a unique band. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW

[@andymcnab5620]

Thanks for the comments and for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy

[@Roudaki677]

Their version of “the day before you came” is far superior to ABBA’s original.

[@electroniccafemusic]

Without doubt, It is such an amazing cover. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW

[@TM-om4tu]

So true 😮👍🏻
