Because this was recorded in 1988? Or because it sounds awesomely like an OMD out-take? Grab your frilly sleeved shirts and eyeliner, it's the new romantic redux!

i was in the mood for a kind of romantic, nostalgic piece and thought this was the way to go. i was born in 1988, so it represents not only that era of music but also the early years of my life.

Whenever I try to actively write 80's sounding synth music, be it New Romantic like this (a bit more dark, tends to be minor keys) or sheer Techno Pop like Erasure.. whatever I end up with sounds like crap. Or more accurately, like any of the disposable "Electroclash" groups around these days pretending they are doing something new. So kudos, because all this needs is some tenor crooning, and you'd have the panties of a million UK girls thrown at you..

Actually, it sort of reminds me of R.O. Manse, though that is purely a comedy act..

Oh and fully agree with the tenor crooning = million of panties. This is an undiscovered Smiths song. I just need to find the right lyrics.

(downloads, applies eyeliner).

Wow. I feel like I was just broken up with, and I am sitting in my POS Celica crying my eyes out in my high school parking lot.
