57: Silicon 39 - Killer In The Crowd (1998)

We go back to Africa. South Africa, this time. A country where synthetizers are not very widely used. Among the few synthpop bands we find Silicon 39, a one-member group (Ian Wilson) with a peculiar futuristic name. Happy tune for a sad, intense song, the title and lyrics refering to the devastating period (murders, anarchy, bombing,...) suffered in South Africa from 1988 till the elections of 1994. Since the past is over, let's just enjoy the wonderful synths and voice of this superb song, highly inspired in the 80's.

  1. Very good song with classic sounds and a perfect voice. The tune activates a quasi hypnotic state in the brain, great!
