it’d be cool to get some synth heavy production techniques. new wave guitar sounds. and specifically for me, VOCALS , in a pack. the era is like no other in musical history 
some references of my favorite stuff from the era.
peter hook bass chorus (new order, joy division)
new order guitar sound (age of consent)
new order drums ( age of consent -crappy dull daft sound)
Police (doo doo do da da, vox and guitar)
acoustic guitar sound (aztec camera/prefab sprout)
vocals shout (tears for fears)
ice choir vocals from any song
solo guitar everybody wants to rule the world (tears for fears)
jangle twang guitar (smiths/johnny marr this charming man)
chorus acoustic guitar (smith westerns)
The human league vocals (female and male from dont you want me)
Flock of Seagulls (that delay slap guitar sound they use alot on ran and other songs)
gauntlet hair – human nature (deep goth vocal similar to joy division)
prefab sprout slapback vox (lions in my garden song)
some other band/ sound considerations
palm muted chorus guitar sound
peter gabriel gated drums
the cure vocals and guitar
cocteau twins guitar (ultra chorusey)
Depeche mode (vocals maybe i dont know emjoy the silence)
tears for fears vocals (ballady like head over heels)
definitely something orchestral manuevers in the dark!!!!!
theres a vocal sound by two bands that i really am interested in but its not particularly 80s but its in the same vein
one is a band called ICE CHOIR that has very airy reverby vocals very 80s sounding. also mixed by the frontman of VIOLENS who also uses this reverby whispery effect often
another is aeodat warfield/softwareblonde on tracks like champions of love or lemon drop ricky. warm and vintagey cassette tape sounding
sorry for the dense read.
