“Video!” — 1984, #85 (download)
After my high school reunion, I found something very 80’s to feature here. It’s the only charting track for Jeff Lynne (ELO) under his own name. This was only released on the Electric Dreams soundtrack. So the movie was about a love triangle between Miles and Edgar the computer and Madeline, his attractive neighbor. The way she meets Edgar is through a duet. If you’d also like to see the video for the movie’s title track, check it out sung by Phil Oakey of The Human League.
Not so much on the movie, but I've always enjoyed the soundtrack.
More vocoder than you can shake a stick at.
Electric Dreams is one of my favorite guilty pleasures from my youth – both the movie and the soundtrack. Thanks for featuring the video!
