This isn't Synthipop exactly, but it is early 80s Peely session poptastic:

This one is real 80s synthipop. Peel played this the night after his boys won the European cup . . . in Paris of course. The first track on the programme. Good times. One for [MENTION=459]Bwian[/MENTION]

And this is one of my faves. A 90s band (still going - saw them in London a few years back). There is NOTHING better than hearing people singing in English as a second language. I'll pop some Propaganda up later. For now, feast your ears on German Goodness.

Accompanied by loud commands, a calm but steady flow 
Propaganda!

I came across them recently. Great aren't they
This lot are a blast from the real 80s past - magical:

You never revealed who they were! But I've worked it out, with the title 'Scream, Cry or Fall' scrolling across the keyboard at the start. They are Handful of Snowdrops. I've gone from liking this to loving it! A little bit Killing Joke'ish? Need to hear more from these guys

I'll put some more up . . . . . you can find them on youtube, but that's hardly the point

Well, HoS are very obscure! I'd never heard of them, whatsoever

And another handfull of snowdrops. This sounds lots like mid period Clan of Xymox (the guitar):

Thought I'd share this. Imagine the Chameleons, with Ian Curtis singing . . . . this lot are wonderful. They are called O. Children

OK, this is real early 80s synthipop, with a twist. Kissing the Pink. Popped up on a Peel show in 1980 and I nearly fell over. Stunning:

Vince Clark has to be the KING of the synth. Yazoo, Depeche Mode, Erasure.
Dont forget The Assembly(obv no way near as successful)
but this was a bit of a corker.

This is an even better KTP track. Peel played it at the wrong speed for 30 seconds. I still have the recording

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like, er, a ****.
You didn't sound like a ****, it's ok mate
I'll check the other vids 2moro. That Scream, Cry or Fall is an awesome track. Thanks for sharing..
If we are talking pure synth pop, these guys New Musik are masters imo:

And this track from NASA is one of many great songs from Remembering the Future. Not for everyone, but then again hardly anyone has heard of them!

Maybe, but more new Romantic/Wave..
Whatever, I bloody love this band, & this track! Massive Copey fan, particularly up until early 90s. His old band mate Pete Wylie from Crucial Three is playing in Hove in November! I'll be there

Nice work! You pastes below sound like classic early mid 80s synthipop to my ears. Hard to tell because the bands tended to sing in English accents . . . . I may have some other things you'd like . . . . back in a mo
