Will Powers - Adventures in Success
(Island, USA, 1983)

I admit I was amazed when I realised that Will Powers was an alias for the female photographer and video maker Lynn Goldsmith, here helped by Tom Bailey. Topnotch New York funky wave sound !

R.D. Burman - Pain Is a Many Splendoured Thing


Rahul Dev Burman - Pain Is a Many Splendoured Thing
(EMI, India, 1983)

This rarity comes from a totally obscure Bollywood flick from the early 80's. It is sung by the Indian diva Usha Uthup, and, you would probably admit, RD Burman has never been that far on the electro tip. Notice that Usha's voice is not high pitched as the other Indian singers', she used to sing jazz & soul in clubs during the last decades.

Jean Yanne - Homosexualis discothecus


Jean Yanne & Raymond Alessandrini - Homosexualis discothecus
(RCA, France, 1982)

It is quite funny to see how, over the years, this track has become a gay (and non-gay) disco anthem. Check the cult scene in the movie by Jean Yanne.
