Tracks...

It's that time again - with everything from Eastern Euro-pop to the ,a-hem, Icelandic "princess of pop", this lot includes several "Blast From The Past" acts, as well some newer ones. Enjoy!

SOTD...

We are still very much in the 80s (why would we ever want to leave?).

This fabulous little number by Italian group Matia Bazar was released in the mid-80s and went number one in Italy and Belgium. I had actually forgotten about this song until I heard it again in 2005. It was featured on the Back To Mine double CD compilation, where Pet Shop Boys selected some their favorite songs (this one was on the disc by Chris Lowe, who is probably one of my musical soulmates!).



The track was covered by Scooter in 2009 and featured the original singer. I much prefer the original version, of course...
