I was raised by snakes, I lie all the time

The future is bright, the future is synthetic etc.

Anyway, two more good synthy bits are Raised by Snakes by Belgian synthpoppers Telex and the slightly cheesy but very earnest/infectious You by Axodry. Both were given remixes by the anonymous DJ collective Razormaid. I haven't been able to find the Razormaid remix of Telex on vinyl at all, and even the original version seems to be only available on pricey bootlegs. The Axodry track was originally released on XYZ Records, and is on sale for about £40 on discogs. Thank God for Youtube eh. 

I've also posted a rather lovely video of Telex (they of 'Moskow Disko') from 1980, when they entered the Eurovision song contest. With matching white scarves over pastel coloured Tshirts, they sang an instantly forgettable song about the song contest. The fact they in came last is utterly criminal (nul points).
