Song of the day: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark- Locomotion

In 1984, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) released their new album Junk Culture. The first single of the album was this song, which combines an uptempo rhythm with some more ‘negative’ lyrics. It was recorded in the last week of recording, with a steel drum and the manager of the group playing bass and piano. In the Netherlands, in the Wisseloord Studio’s, the song was mixed. The song made it to number 5 in the UK and the Netherlands. Enjoy

Song of the day: Kylie Minogue- The Locomotion

In the end of the eighties, Kylie Minogue recorded her first and debute hit, which is song of the day today. After that, she had several other hits, but halfway the nineties, she sort of disappeared from the hit charts… returning in 2002 with her biggest hit, I Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, which sticks in my head if I hear it. Therefore, the song of the day is this song, which doesn’t stay in my head for the rest of the day! Enjoy:
