Right all you electric dreamers... In this age of virus paranoia and electronic surveillance it seems only right we revisit some of those wonderfully dark, dystopian sounds of early synth/electronic music. Pre-1980 seems only fair. The weirder and more oppressive the better Here's some oddball shit to get the ball rolling. Tinkered with by modern hands I grant you, but still...

OMD's "Electricity" is the greatest track ever.

If you enjoy the decade after, there's a great band on at eleven Tunstall in June called Electro 80s, all the best stuff from omd, human league, gary newman, depeche mode, ultravox, etc. Seen them planty of times - brill every time!

People take the piss out of simple minds these days but they was one of the best early synth bands around.
Loved early synth up till about 84/85 when the pet shop boys came along and totally ruined the scene.

This is pretty much how it all started.

Not all are quite pre-1980 but they're belters all the same...
