Dexy's Midnight Runners; Don't Stand Me Down

Sleepwalkers by David Sylvian and friends was on heavy rotation this weekend.

Magazine - 'Play'

Simple Minds -Empires & Dance
Depeché Modé - Construction Time Again

Still on Sleepwalkers and a playlist based on the Victim of Stars compilation.

I've not heard Construction Time Again by Depeché and their Modé in years - I can vaguely remember they were working on a pipeline or summat - did they ever finish it?

Actually in retrospect Pipeline is a pretty amazing track .. i found it a bit dull at the time, but there's so much going on - clings and clangs and sampled ping-pong balls! Plus Gore's vocals are ace.

Construction Time Again is the one recorded at The Garden (...I think) - the timeline of both albums, Construction Time Again and The Golden Section(summer '83) - I wonder if they were using the same sampler?

..didn't notice any ping-pong balls on Section, or clanging metallic sounds ... but I might be wrong.
Will check LP sleevenotes, I think they might have mixed it at Hansa or summat.

Ian McNabb - Little Episodes (Great new album)
Communards - Red (Forgot how good "For A Friend" is)
Simple Minds - Life In A Day

Ian McNabb ...Icicle Works, right? I really used to like their first album.
