One hour dedicated to the early days of synthesizers in post-punk and new wave (1979–1982). Plenty of synth-pop but also some darker and weirder shit. We balance out bigger names like Fad Gadget, Wall of Voodoo, Yello (pictured), Depeche Mode, The Human League, and Captain Sensible with obscure cuts from Futurisk, Snowy Red, Our Daughter’s Wedding, Linear Movement, and Mekanik Kommando.
