This week's Friday #80s Flashback focuses on the 40th anniversary of Elton John's TOO LOW FOR ZERO.

However, The Police's SYNCHRONICITY also turns 40 this month. So, here's the June 4, 2021, post I wrote for its 38th anniversary.

// In the Fall of 1993, between contracts with Capitol and RCA, The Smithereens ventured into Crystal Sound Studios NYC to write and record a new album for their own label. The results of those one month marathon recording sessions is this album, unheard by the outside world until now [September 23, 2022], and appropriately titled “Lost Album”. //

Started working my way through Radio 1 Essential Mixes. Discovered mixesdb has them all with setlists and song links.

Last night I listened to Future Sound of London's 2hr Essential Mix from 1993. Wow! 🤯

If you like electronic, psychedelic, ambient music, I most highly recommend you check it out.
