I've been steeped in 80's synthpop for a while, working on a project which may or may not come to anything.
I think that I have been absorbing the genre by osmosis. I was working on this track and I felt like I'd stalled, I'd carried it around on my PiePod for a few days, trying to get a feeling for a lyrical style fiddling about with some phrases, the recent eclipse was in my thoughts and I thought I might call the track 'New Suns'.
Still at al loss this weekend, I sent the track to OldMariahRottenhead to see if it sparked any ideas. The initial response was not encouraging.
Then, out of the blue, a missed phone call, a text and an email later, James sent me a vocal addition to the MP3 I had sent to him. Lost a bit in the mix because I have compressed the hell out of the final track, but nontheless an impressive bit of work. I couldn't wait to get home to put the WAV into the track.
So here's the result. Thanks James, I hope you like it and I hope the rest of you do too.

Loved it! Getting a bit of a Giorgio Moroder "sequenced" vibe from the rhythm synth, and digging all the other little synth squiggles et vox en francais.
Tres bien!
QuoteThanks James, I hope you like it
no tres bad!
however i can still hear my scottish accent. ;D ;D ;D
This is much better than the real eclipse, and you can listen without the stupid glasses !
Great effort gents, thanks for sharing

Brilliant synth pop! I'm on the second listening...sweet!! Mariah's French sounds so good :)
Its a Cracker, well done........Alex
I'm not a big fan of synth-pop usually (it stopped me appreciating Genesis all the way from when I first heard them - when Follow You, Follow Me was in the UK charts - until sometime in the mid 90s when my wife at the time forced me to listen to Lamb Lies Down).
But I love this!! :)

WOW the beginning sounds very cool and awoke my brain. I don`t like this type of music much either but it is grooving and well played.
Great playing and production Flash and i think the vocals sit in the mix perfect for this.
Great different performance by you Jim!
Synth pop with an edge. That's right.
