Speaking of Kalapana. I think this is the only one with no lyrics. I remember seeing the 8-track tape in my cousin's car.

And one of the most iconic (in Hawaii). I think everybody of my era knows this song by heart. Many slow dances and probably babies came out of this.

There's an awful lot of New Romantic and synth stuff I like but it's mostly compilation CDs
Music was never appealing thereafter apart from the odd release

England?

Quote from: cmason on July 10, 2026, 02:02:13 AMIf I do this every few weeks I get perfect running round the back there. If I let things go I get many sticky moments.

Yeah - I hate it when you get sticky moments round the back

You guys have great memory. I can only remember a few. The one that sticks out is Shannon by Henry Gross. Then it's Bread, ELO, Doobie Brothers, Kansas for the most part. The rest would be Hawaiian stuff like Kalapana, Cecilio and Kapono, Olomana.

And then the disco phase, then Journey rolled through.

I wonder who'll be meeting France in the final?  

I too have one of these Tomix track cleaners although it was sold under the Atlas label. On the matter of cleaning fluids, MRH a year ago had an article on what cleaning fluids were optimal. If my memory serves me correctly, they suggested using non-polar solvents. White spirits or Shellite fit the bill. I took their advice and now I use nothing but white spirits (in a CMX track cleaning car). Excellent!!
