First up is Connie with Funky Little Beat from 1985:

Then there’s Cybotron with Clear from 1983:

Next up there’s Strafe with Set It Off from 1984:

Next up Nocera with Summertime, Summertime from 1986:

And finally Freeez with IOU from 1983.

You’ve probably noticed a few things if you listened to all of this. The first is this is all from a period of 1983 to 1986 – that was the true rise of the synthesizer – analog and digital as well as drum machines. Having spun, created and done things with synthesizers I highly approve.

This entire music set was arrived at from wanting to replace the last track. That’s how Nocera, Strafe, Cybotron and Connie were suggested on YouTube.
