1987 Flashback Friday Random 10

The year was 1987 — the Twins won their first World Series, I was in my 3^rd year of working for Hughes Aircraft Company, and I was dating Mo.  This Friday’s random 10 were all released in 1987:

1. “Girl in the Moon” – Icehouse, Man of Colours
2. “Oro Blanco (White Gold) – Rubaja & Hernandez, High Plateaux
3. “Curryclub” – Geoff Downes, The Light Program
4. “Distant Village” (Michael Brook) – Various Artists, Angels in the Architecture
5. “Airy Area” – Ozric Tentacles, There is Nothing
6. “Jethro” – Geoff Downes, The Light Program
7. “Spirit of Summer” – Deodato, Prelude
8. “Kleine Blume Irgendwo” (Hans-Joachim Roedelius) – Various Artists, Angels in the Architecture
9. “Too Late” – Alan Parsons Project, Gaudi
10. “Midnight Blue” – Lou Gramm, Ready or Not

Geoff Downes’ The Light Program has to be my favorite instrumental keyboard CD; found it used at a shop on Ventura Boulevard.  I am still noticing new layers of sound on some of the tracks that I hadn’t noticed on previous listenings.
