Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a fan of all things 80's, if my song 1988 Girls with British Synth Wave duo Futurecop! was any indication. I'm an 80's baby and thus am quite keen on this new release by 80s Stallone. Hotline puts you right into the seat of an old school Corvette convertible and takes you for a drive that would make even Ryan Gosling smile in his scorpion short jacket. The albums plays through so effortlessly, with every track being very listenable. It's almost hard to distinguish one song from the next. In this case, that's a very good thing. 80s Stallone has this ability to musically capture the innocence and angst of youth as would a John Hughes film. Sharing a striking similarity to the likes of Anoraak, Futurecop!, Keenhouse, Stardone and Miami Nights 1984, 80s Stallone is contributing nicely to the UK Dream Wave/Synth Pop scene. Squeeze into your skinny jeans, lace up your high top Reeboks with the velcro straps, put on your headband and get your Walkman ready - Hotline is primed to teleport you back to everyone's favorite decade!
They're all good, but I would recommend the tracks Summer Lovers, Quantum Leap, and Time.
