Carole King - So Far Away
This is what pure talent sounds like.
 
Section 25 - Friendly Fires
Martin Hannett, Ian Curtis...if these were the people who were around Section 25, there must have been a reason.
 
Machinations - My Heart's On Fire
Excellent Australian band in the style of Hunters and Collectors, Midnight Oil...
 
Red Rider - Human Race
The power pop/heartland rock charm of Tom Cochrane’s Red Rider. Their first album, Don't Fight It, remains a gem of the genre, while Neruda is yet another treasure to rediscover (joyfully copied by U2? released in January 1983, a month before War)
 
''Kray Twins'' Renegade Soundwave
Rave on! (the other great tracks are The phantom, Probably a robbery, and Blue eyed boy)
 
Mark Stewart - Learning to Cope with Cowardice
The genres that transformed the experimental landscape were dub and funk. Mark Stewart (Pop Group) and Johnny Rotten (Public Image Limited) pursued a true revolution by contaminating post-punk with funk, dub, and industrial breakbeat...1983!
 
Scritti Politti - Wood Beez
This and Provision remain two outstanding albums of electro funky/sophisti pop (in the style of Hearsay by Alexander O'Neal).
 
Heaven 17 - This Is Mine
How men are and Pleasure one are great too 😉
 
Wang Chung - Hold Back the Tears
Their album closest to wave with Mick Karn-style fretless ✨️
 
Waterboys - Red Army Blues (2002 Remaster)
The first two albums remain my favorites... obviously the next two are great as well.
 
Omega - Suite
A prog blast to (re)discover.
 
Waterboys - Down Through the Dark Streets
this bonus track is a hidden gem 💎

In the comments, also Solar fire and The roaring silence... soon Watch and Nightingales and bombers will arrive 😉
 
Shriekback - All Lined Up
Experimental funk/post-punk gave you bands that had something eternal, futuristic, introspective... for example, who remembers Machinations and Royal Family And The Poor? other stuff posted some time ago.
 
XTC - Cross Wires (2001 Remaster)
Here they seem like a mix between Devo and Wire... just so I don't put on Radios in motion, Making plans, and This world's over again. 😉
