What's your favourite song of 1983? (Not Goldstone Rap)

Amazing how fresh that sounds, maybe not the vocals of course but the track could easily sit inside a techno set in 2017.

The original poster has done a silly, the link is for a track from the 2003 album 'Tour De France Soundtracks', not the 1983 single.

I did not actually listen to the embedded track but here is the original. I can imagine this being mixed in a James Zabiela set, he plays similar stuff to this day (minus the lyrics as I say which sound a bit dated)

Can I just say this is a terrible thread as it has made me open the 1987 YouTube New Order Glastonbury performance and it is now going to take me and hour and a quarter to watch it, Barney a little bit out of it but very wonderful nevertheless:

This ep is the effing total dogs. Wobble, The Edge, Holger Czukay? What's not to love?

One of the best recordings of all time bar none.

Can't help but smile to myself when I remember scaffolders, mechanics and alike singing joyfully along to Karma chameleon and church of the poison mind having all previously dismissed Boy George as a f**king Woofter.
Good memories ��
