UK #ElectroPop duo Baker & Leonard recorded 2 albums as #IStartCounting but their collaboration would continue as groups #Fortran5 & #Komputer- Starckers loved their playful 1988 single “Ra! Ra! Rawhide” #StarckClub #Dallas #80sMusic #1980s #80sRetro #80s

Oorlogscorrespondent Peter Arnett overleden. Fortran 5 samplede 'm (commentaar Golfoorlog, in zijn hotel te Bagdad) en gebruikte dat voor de track Choppers. #PeterArnett #Fortran5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac8J...

Sometimes it's really necessary to indulge:

Write back in fortran5 or bare metal assembler

Such an underrated band that morphed into Fortran5 then Komputer
I have their two albums on CD still

It’s puzzling what you’ll find in the $1 used bin in record stores. Found a total of 23 albums in the bargain section. Currently enjoying this gem: Bad Head Park by Fortran 5. Surprised that I didn’t own this one already. #fortran5 #cdcollection #currentshiftradio

I’ve followed them through all 3 incarnations. I start counting, fortran5, Komputer. During lockdown David Baker did a zoom call piano request singalong on a Friday night!

This was from his solo album last year;

Before they were Fortran5 they were I Start Counting - they sit in a genre of their own but something like bob & Pete from St Etienne if they were heavily influenced by The Human League’s Travelogue.
