In a shameless attempt to get listener numbers into triple figures, I have not only managed to throw in an Oasis reference, but also include the demo that was, sadly, the last thing Steve Strange ever recorded before his untimely death. Lyrically, it's not the traditional Visage, even if it is musically. Plus all the usual obscure, hidden gems, how could you possibly resist?

Alan Sharif — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 08:34:29 +0000

Half a century of something that started as a little something to fill the time during lockdown. Well I never. This show can be divided into three distinct parts. Part one, business as usual. Part two, a look back to the first ever Glamtronic with 'the three best records Kraftwerk never made'. Part three, something I am doing with greater frequency, remembering those lost since the last podcast, which means playing a couple of songs you actually know!!!!

Music, old and new, for those whose tastes run to Glam, New Romantic, Futurist and Electronic. BUT, not the usual suspects. No top 40, not even any top 75.
