Audio Commentary: Hugh Padgham (Synchronicity - The Police, 1983)

Author: Mr 80sography January 6, 2022 Duration: 1:15:34
Very excited about this one - I've been looking to do another audio commentary for a while and what better place to continue with than one of the best-selling LPs of the decade. We join Producer, the great Hugh Padgham, and go through each song track-by-track, with additional chat further on, and, of course, a quickfire round on the album at the end. So sync up (should that be your desire) or just listen to a great interview on The Police's greatest album. And no skipping Mother... emai...

Step past the neon curtain and into the studio with 80sography-80s music interviews, hosted by Mr 80sography. This isn't a simple nostalgia trip or a parade of greatest hits. Instead, it's a series of conversations that get to the heart of what made the 1980s such a uniquely vibrant and often misunderstood period for music. We bypass the so-called Taste Police to explore the decade's genuine spirit-that potent mix of bold originality, unapologetic individuality, and sheer zestful vitality that defined the sound. Each episode features an in-depth interview, bringing you the artists, producers, session players, and behind-the-scenes figures who shaped the era. You'll hear personal stories, creative insights, and candid reflections that go far beyond the liner notes. The aim is to understand the 'why' and the 'how' behind the music we remember, and perhaps discover some we missed entirely. Tune in for a thoughtful, engaging, and richly detailed audio journey that treats the decade with the depth it deserves. This podcast is for anyone who believes that era was more than just shoulder pads and synthesizers; it was a genuine cultural moment worth examining on its own terms.
