I love 80's synth popTuesday 01 April 2008

One of the best things about getting older is that you are no longer under any pressure to be cool. Whereas a few years ago, everything had to be abstract, moody and minor keys, I'm now a Dad of two with a mortgage and a rediscovered love of 80's synth pop. How things change.

Wonderful things can happen when you ignore your inner critic and my most recent remix is the perfect example of this. My younger self would have thought it far commercial and 'pop' but my older self knows better. Anyway, onto the remix....

The band Lovespirals very kindly made the individual parts of their song 'This Truth' available for a competition on Synthvox. As per usual, I waited until the last day of the contest to start my remix - nothing focuses the mind better than a bit of pressure. Whilst the original version was a sultry, downtempo affair I sprinkled some Scarkord fairy dust on it and turned it into something else entirely.

So why not have a listen to This Truth (ScarKord remix)

Normal service will resume for the next remix... possibly :)
