It was a pleasure to speak to the renowned engineer/producer and Art of Noiser, GaryLangan. Consider part one the Trevor Horn era of his career where he was involved with some massive hits and some of the most perfect pop of the decade. Much to enjoy here (with even more in pat 2); Pre-1980/1980 (2:52) Meeting Trevor Horn Boogatti - Come Back Maria…

Another gem of a AOOS with songwriter/musician Martin Page and is there anything more iconic and anthemic than the equally loved and (wrongly) derided 80s classic, We Built This City. Loads to enjoy here - Martin's enthusiasm is infectious. And does Marconi play the Mamba? Check out Martin here; twitter: @martinpagemusic facebook: martin page websi…

It was an absolute thrill to be able to chat to the female Thompson Twin, the iconic Alannah Currie under the pretence of an Anatomy of a Song episode. Although we discussed the fantastic Sister of Mercy it was an excuse to discuss much more about her time with Tom & Joe in the 80s; the highs and lows, the music, the fame, the pressures, the writin…

Very excited about this one - I've been looking to do another audio commentary for a while and what better place to continue with than one of the best-selling LPs of the decade. We join Producer, the great Hugh Padgham, and go through each song track-by-track, with additional chat further on, and, of course, a quickfire round on the album at the en…

Part 2 of the interview with the 'godlike' producer, Stephen Hague, with some great LP work in '86 followed by talk on 75% of the massive hits he produced in '87. Which one didn't he like? Couldn't cram it all into one second part so part 3 to come to conclude the decade. Don't tell me that you think it's green - me? I know it's red (YNWA) 1986 (4:…
