79: Antilles - Longing For The Spring (2007)

Denmark, our next stop. A cold country with warm bands. As this young Danish duo, Antilles, devoted to classic analog synthesizers. With only one album released -the wonderful Something New (2008)- and a romantic attitude, this band let us enjoy fresh sounds in their nu-disco songs. At this point of the year we are fed up with the winter and the extreme cold of the recent European cold wave, aren't we? We need hot, good weather. We need this cheerful song, at more than 120 BPM, to provide us with energy. Yes, we need the spring. We are longing for it.

99: Experimental Products - Aviation (1985)

We continue our journey flying across the Atlantic, entering the U.S.A and landing directly in Philadelphia, where this awesome group, Experimental Products, started their short career, from 1982 to 1987. They recorded few -but high-quality- songs, most of them focused in minimal wave sounds while others were more dancefloor oriented, such as their hymn Glowing In The Dark or this powerful track, with a style between minimal synth, Hi-NRG and synthpop. Its electronic sounds catches my senses from the very first minute, its frenetic rhythm makes my heart beat at the same BMP of the song and my feet demand dancing. I cannot stop! Can you?
