Included on the 1990 album Violator.

A three-piece synth-pop band from the UK formed in 1980.

Evolving from their early technopop style, by this period their sound had shifted into a lush, almost gothic aesthetic, and the melody of this song exudes a decadent atmosphere.

Included on the 1985 album “Brothers in Arms.” A five-piece rock band from London formed in 1977 around the Knopfler brothers.

Set to a mid-tempo rhythm that evokes a sense of desolation and a weeping guitar sound, the murmured vocals ride a melody that deeply moves the heart.

Dream Academy – “Life In A Northern Town” (Official Music Video)

Included on the 1985 album “The Dream Academy.” A three-piece music band from London formed in 1983.

The song generally unfolds at a mid-tempo pace, guided by a lyrical and quiet melody line, but in the chorus it suddenly breaks the calm and surges with energy.

I think it’s turned out to be a really nice number.
