Interesting note: the distortion guitar sound heard at the beginning (and throughout) comes from the Rockman X100 that Jan Hammer used throughout his run on the series! Even then lyrics to this would've worked well in Vice. I've been YouTubing many 1980s singles that are lesser-known the last couple of days and have been finding some gems like this one.

Jack Gretsky Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 There's a tropical, easy-going, yet haunting flavor to the music; the lyrics could go either way as straight or ironic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My YouTube journey of finding 1980s deep cuts is retrieving some oddball stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViceFanMan Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) I’m not sure if this song could have ever been used as a deep mood-setter, per-say...but I always thought that the 1982 song “Der Kommissar”, by After the Fire, would have been perfect in a dance/club scene in some episode somewhere!

Jack Gretsky Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hey look! It's Laura Gretsky herself, Natasha Shneider. This track would have worked splendidly on a Vice episode in one of its latter seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDragon86 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 If the finale was done differently I think this would have been very touching towards the end of the feature length episode. Released in 1984. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Released in 1984. I love this song! It always makes me think of "Lost Highway." "You'll never have me." That scene is like a knife to the heart with this song playing. Elizabeth Fraser has such a beautiful voice! It's kind of odd to hear her words so clearly compared to her Cocteau Twins songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think David Lynch wanted this wonderful song in Blue Velvet but he didn't have enough money for the license. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think you are right! I also heard when he hired Julee Cruise to sing for Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks, he wanted someone to sing similar to Elizabeth Fraser. I love Julee Cruise’s work too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started playing synths, about 6-7 years ago, I looked on his site and YouTube page a lot to learn about all the classics. As far as shoegaze, I love My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins especially. Cocteau Twins may be labeled more dream pop, but I’d definitely call them shoegaze. Jesus and Mary Chain are another one that are shoegaze at times, but I don’t know… genres are complicated. This is my absolute favorite My Bloody Valentine song, released in August 1988, I guess it might work in Season 5! I love the songs where Bilinda sings, her voice is so shy, innocent and heartbreaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDragon86 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) They should have also included another Fashion track in "The Prodigal Son" Cool, stylish song, which was the core spirit of the 1 and 2 era.
