Vol.49 - 4 X 4 (TAPES Edition) on #TUNESTALKSG

"4 X 4 on #TUNESTALKSG" is a ongoing serial feature (started in 2025) where I showcased/share 4+ tracks / MVs from 4 Random Albums I have in my eclectic collection ... some might get their own Full Album Listens, most might not ... just ride the memories, cheers.

This is essentially a new "subset" - featuring Cassette Tapes! None of the following are for sale tho, thanks!

The closest I could trace to "Lupo's O'Beat Party" is this track listed on the "Red Hot & Skin" compilation album, with the track "Unchain My Heart". The tracks in the cassette album (shown) itself remains "lost", although Google describes them as upbeat retro style tracks and stylized pop covers, including titles like "Five Hundred Miles", "Red River Valley", and "Woolly Bully".

You honestly cannot deny "Silent Lucidity" from the 90s, apart of the album "Empire" by the progressive metal band Queensrÿche, can you?

"Mainstream" by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions was released by Polydor in 1987, with this being the band's 3rd studio album, possessing singles "My Bag" (above) and "Jennifer She Said" (below), and a sound that transcended the generations, IMHO. Album was produced by Ian Stanley (a member of Tears for Fears for most of the 1980s?).
