It was during my last year of high school that I had a habit of collecting cassettes. There were two of them that I played over and over again around this time. One was Real Life's Lifetime and the other was Red Flag's Naive Dance. The latter was a collection of remixes of tracks from their Naive Art album which includes their biggest hit, "Russian Radio." I think that the only reason I picked it up was that I couldn't find Naive Art and it had many of the same song titles. Both are great and well worth picking up.
I mention the album and post the video because I'll be lucky enough to interview Chris Reynolds from the band on Saturday. He was a pleasure to talk to already. Again, I'm lucky enough to talk to an artist that really had an impact on my musical tastes. Now, I just need to talk him into releasing a type of hits collection. I can't say enough about their music and wish that I could post more of their songs or videos but do yourself a favor and search for them.
Hmm, never heard of this song or band! The singer looks like that one dude from Depeche Mode.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall hearing this group before but their sound is unmistakably 80's.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing Beckeye said - about Depeche Mode.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this band either... this was a good song. Thanks for sharing!
Russian Radio rocks! I loved this song when I was in high school. It is totally 80's synth pop.
