CROCS NOT CROCS

RETRO FUTURIST? – IT’S 1980-  NO IT’S SOMETIME LATER……THE BRIEF WAS TO PUT TOGETHER A MORE CONTEMPORARY PLAYLIST OF TUNES THAT HAVE A SIMILAR ‘FEEL’ TO THOSE HEADY TIMES? IT’S INTERESTING COMPARING THE TWO, THE OLD WITH THE NEW. THE SIMILARITIES/INFLUENCES, BOTH MUSICALLY & LYRICALLY? HERE YOU MAY DETECT THE ODD NOD TO BANDS LIKE TG, VISAGE, THE CABS, DM, OMD, THE HUMAN LEAGUE, JAPAN, JOY DIVISION, OR THE CURE ….
