Product Details

Orchestral reimaginings of pop and rock catalog have a long history, but the 80s produced a particular strain of melodically ambitious songwriting that translates surprisingly well to full string arrangements. Tracks built around sweeping choruses and cinematic production from artists like Simple Minds and a-ha already carried an orchestral instinct in their original DNA, making the London Studio Orchestra's interpretations here feel like a natural extension rather than a novelty.

2018 release. 80s SYMPHONIC combines the original classic tracks of 15 iconic 80s tracks from David Bowie, a-ha, Foreigner, Simple Minds, Simply Red, Tina Turner, Pretenders, Ultravox and more with brand new symphonic and string arrangements performed by the 50 piece London Studio Orchestra creating brand unique versions of these timeless tracks like you've never heard before.
