Vol.51 - 4 X 4 (TAPES Edition)

"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" (this would be the last one for the time being) - featuring Cassette Tapes! None of the following are for sale tho, thanks!

I have a full album listen HERE for ABC's 1987 "Alphabet City", with hit singles "When Smokey Sings" (above) and "The Night You Murdered Love" (below) showcased here today, cheers. HUGE fan of ABC, just so you know :)

This 1990 Polydor release is Lloyd Cole's self-titled solo album, with the tracks like "No Blue Skies" (above) and "Don't Look Back" (below). I was here because of "Lloyd Cole & The Commotions", and while the voice is recognisable, the soundscape shifted beyond my expectations, alas. Decent album, if memories didn't lie.

Released in 1981 by Atlantic Records, "The Best of The Manhattan Transfer", with their track "Boy From New York City" most memorable. How about a listen to the original performers The Ad Libs? Then scroll down for "Birdland" (Audio only).

"Nite Songs In Day-Glo" by the late great Chris Ho was released in Singapore circa 1990 by WEA. The soundscape was a cocktail of indie new wave and synth-pop. It includes tracks such as "Sunburn" (audio above) and "Long Long Summer" (below). This album is "legendary" bengalicious locally for a reason... just hope this doesn't fade away too much tho, IMHO.
