Digging through my taped radio archives I hear this track

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5RtG...ature=youtu.be

but despite its solid 80's sound I just don't know who it is singing or what it is called. Have you any idea?
I will add that listening to my Capitol FM and Radio 1 archive from that period made me realise how much presentation styles have changed (I had Jeremy Beadle DJ-ing) and also that the music that was on the radio is mostly not what the 80's complialtions would have us believe was popular.

That's really annoying, at times it sounds like Haircut 100, others the vocals have a twang like Bob Geldof. What was playing either side of the track on your tape?

It does sound very familiar......without being familiar if you know what I mean

Sounds a bit like Tears for Fears to me

There's a distinctly Scots tinge to those vocals, I'd say.

Genius! And now you've found that I totally remember listening to these guys as part of the whole Goth movement in and around The Warehouse in Leeds in the 1980s

Thanks for that - I would NEVER had got that one! The tape is just clips from the radio that caught my ear at the time - Boots Ferric C90's - and along with the UK top 40 I recorded Steve Walsh and even some Radio Oxford.
