Synthesized

Thanks go to Robert of the Radish, as he pointed out the availability of more Human League on Rhapsody. Once I got a listen, I couldn't resist making a playlist, so here's my list of 80's music, heavy on the use of synthesizers. It was great fun putting together; it brought back memories of my brother and I making pilgrimages to Wax Trax on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago to buy many of these records when they were only imports. We used to listen to Steve Albini on Northwestern's radio station, which barely came in, playing cutting edge music and we just had to have it. Click here to listen.
