Body Electric - "Magic Electronic"

body electric - "magic electronic" (download)

This little gem of a 7" from 1984 has been recently re-issued as a 12" by Moustache Records out of the Netherlands. Extremely catchy, heavily-Vocoded electro. The new 12" reissue has some alternate edits, as well as the equally as good "5595." To the best of my knowledge, the 12" is currently available via Clone Records, which means it's going to cost you about $40 US to purchase it on vinyl, but if you're just in the mood to own the MP3's, you can pick it up digitally for significantly less over at the Boomkat store. I might have to start saving my pennies.

Sexual Harassment - "I Need A Freak"

Released in 1983 on Heat Records. Classic early 80's, somewhat silly electro. This track inspired a pretty big hit from a few years ago. See if you can guess what it was.

Mirage - "Lake of Dreams"

Another group I don't know a whole lot about, and can't seem to find much info on. They're from Italy, and they had three songs on the Italians Do It Better compilation After Dark (alongside The Chromatics, Glass Candy, Professor Genius and others). This is a nice, 9-minute track (although I wish there were a shorter version out there) to take you into the weekend. Throw some shades on, put the top down, and drive into the sunset.
