On the Jools Holland hosted show The Tube, UK DJ Greg Wilson shows off his wheels of steel, complete with tape effects (!), with a bit of simple mixing of David Joseph’s “You Can’t Hide (Your Love From Me).”

Joseph’s classic single hails from his boogie-drenched album The Joys of Life:

Broadcast on BBC Four this past October, Synth Britannia gives a decent, straightforward overview of the emergence of synthesizers in popular British music in the late 70s/early 80s. Time has been rather kind to most of the musicians interviewed, including Phil Oakey, John Foxx, Gary Numan, Andrew McCluskey, Martin Gore, Vince Clarke, etc, and most seem like pretty ok guys who very much believed in the direction they were taking music. Nobody interviewed, however, seemed to be able to pronounce “Moog” correctly … but I digress.

Worth a watch if you’ve ever gotten all dreamy eyed while thinking about the Mute Records catalog, or, alternately, if you’re into peeking at sexy close ups of Fairlight CMIs and B roll of London streets.
