P.O.T (The Break)

Let me indulge here with some classic synth pop from the early 90s and 80s with some Depeche Mode of course.  P.O.T The break is taken here from "Policy of Truth" was so hard to resist upon a recent vinyl listen of Violator  which was their breakthrough release that catapulted them into the stratosphere.  I realized  the appeal of the break wasn't just the base but his sort of sedated eastern sounds so I added tome other effects to enhance to the point of a syncopated and meditative sounds. There are two versions here, one is straight out and the other one over indulged by adding some parts Boy George's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" just for kicks. Enjoy!

and here is the Boy George version

 

Noticed Me Missing You Blind

Here is a sort of oldie from the vaults as I was clearing some files to make more space. Enjoy!

I'm Afraid Of Me

Here is rare 12" remix by '80s legendary band Culture Club, "I'm Afraid Of Me" which is featured on the Volume 2 of the Methods Of Dance collection.  "I'm Afraid Of Me" was originally released on their debut 1982 LP titled Kissing To Be Clever.  This was the album that shot them to the top of the charts spanning the classic '80s hits "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" and "Time" to name a few.  Also released in 1982,  Methods of Dance Volume 2 contains a compilation of era defining underground club tracks which marked the point at which Post Punk collided with the dance floor.  There are several hard to find early songs and remixes from amazing bands that defined the music of that era.  Lately, I have been listening to Mark Ronson's brilliant song "Somebody To Love Me" featuring vocals by the legendary Boy George which has made me nostalgic for this sound again.  This is a truly unique gem of a song. Enjoy!
