Enjoy this Smooth Sailing part in 80s style with some sophisti-pop, retro wave and jazz-funk!
For years I’ve been a huge fan of the New Retro Wave label. It releases new tracks that are heavily inspired by the 1980s. On this cloudcast I chose to play a couple of songs from the label that sounds so fresh as if the 1980s were still there.
In the 1970s singer/songwriter and part-time actor Peter Godwin was one half of Metro, the other half was Duncan Browne, known for his hit single The Wild Places. In 1977 they made a very interesting self-titled album, some kind of missing link between glam rock and new wave. After their split Peter Godwin came up with a few superb electro pop songs, together with producer Georg Kajanus (Sailor). Baby’s In The Mountains is from his only full-length album Correspondence, which is available for download and on streaming services only recently. I was smart enough to buy the vinyl album back in the day 😉
