Wow! I love the energy of this one. I wish there were extended and instrumental versions.

"Gentlemen Without Weapons" was an Australia-based world music project with plenty of idealism, active in the late 1980s. They never really had any big hits as such, but if we're doing rare 80s music in this thread, then it deserves mention ;)

 

The creators behind the project can also be seen in a short interview on youtube explaining how they used the Fairlight CMI,  among other things to capture and play animal sounds. Apparently, the song "Unconditional Love" came out of a Fairlight in its entirety.

The thumbnail is not a scene from Scarface. :D

When you watch songs like this performed live it feels so strange that this music was once appreciated.

If “DJ” here is referred to as disc jockey mix - I won’t be uploading this as thought it was the “Don Johnson” mix :hippie::cheers::p:dance2:

Pretty addictive song, good bass and the guitar at 2:50 is super nice. ;)

Kind of reminds me of Echo and the Bunnymen.
