One Hit Thunder Episode 283: “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin

This week, we’re discussing the music and career of Berlin, a band whose biggest hit was, strangely, not really a Berlin song at all. “Take My Breath Away” soared into the stratosphere on the tailwinds of Top Gun in 1986, but it wasn’t a great representation of the sexy, upbeat new wave synth-pop that Berlin was known for. Join us as we journey deep into Berlin to see if they take our breath away, or if we’ll just become another Pleasure Victim.
