For I’ve never been a synth man, la di da…
Obviously Mr Buckley recommends other releases alongside David Bowie’s Low for this
The other nine acts include: OMD, The Human League (twice), Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Gary Numan, Soft Cell, John Foxx and Kraftwerk.
I have to say I would have lost two or three of these in favour of records by Iggy Pop (The Idiot), Ultravox (Systems Of Romance), Simple Minds (Reel to Real Cacophony) and even the likes of The Associates and Japan…but perhaps they all rely on too many other instruments in among the synths to fit the synth pop genre…a bit like Low.
