An appropriately timed thread - Alan Vega of New York synth pioneers Suicide has recently passed. Wonderful wonderful band...

The recording of their concert-riot in Brussels is great

This was on the radio one evening last week, I hadn't heard it for years and had forgotten how good it is.
As soon as I saw this thread title I thought of this song, I'm glad you posted it.

Vince Clark has to be the KING of the synth. Yazoo, Depeche Mode, Erasure.
