Subject: Synthesiser Songs eg Summer Madness

Written By: Geggs on 09/04/03 at 03:04 p.m.

Ciao

Can you please reply to this message if you know of any 80s songs which are similar to Kool and The Gangs song 'Summer Madness'? example: instrumental and funky synthesiser sounds.

Also, could anybody recommend any great 80s synthesiser songs? I have the usual suspects ie OMD, A Flock of Seagulls, Depeche Mode etc, in my collection. But, surely there were a few one hit wonders in the 80s. If you could please let me know of any i would be very grateful.

cheers
Geggs
