Synthetik FM are back with another wonderful 80 covers album "Undercover 80s - Volume 2".
As
with the first volume of 80s cover versions, this album avoids the
really classic well known songs and concentrates on songs that a rarely
covered, and that is the beauty with these albums, expect the
unexpected! Bobby Clark, has reached out to various, well respected
vocalists from the independent electronic music scene, such as, Gary Flanagan, Cosmicity, Bit Pixel, Halovox, Eloquent, Pacific Deep, to create
fabulous and fresh takes on songs like "That's Entertainment" (The Jam),
"Wonderful Life" (Black), "Touched By The Hand Of God" (New Order),
"Goodbye 70s (Yazoo), "Living By Numbers" (New Musik), "Hit That Perfect Beat" (Bronski Beat) and much more! Once again, as with the first album, Bobby has worked with Michael Kauzlarich (X-Sonic), who has assisted with the arrangement of songs as well as mixing and production duties.
