THE COMMUNARDS      Oh God! Dead Is there any worse Synth-Pop band than The Communards (featuring the highly-annoying Jimmy Somerville)? No, don't answer that. They're about as welcome as the original Communards were in the French Third Republic. And the best thing about The Communards? Thankfully,, there's only two albums to listen to and if The Communards are the dis-ease, then the next Synth-Pop band on the list are The Cure. Smile


The Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way (Or how to murder a classic song) Evil Smile

VINCE CLARKE      A Synth-Pop legend and man of many bands, including Yazoo, the short-lived Assembly, Depeche Mode and Erasure (he's the quiet one in the background). Vince Clarke has been playing keyboards almost since he could Speak & Spell and for those who Just Can't Get Enough of Vince's cool synth vibes, he now has a New Life as a solo Electropop artist. Smile

CHVRCHES      A Scottish Indietronica trio for the modern plastic age who are said to have been inspired by eighties electronica, but whose particular brand of over-produced mindless pap is unlikely to inspire any religious devotion. They're so bad, they make Bronski Beat look good. Evil Smile

^ China Crisis had a knack for writing catchy tunes, even if some of their lyrics were like a riddle wrapped inside an enigma. I still have no idea what Black Man Ray is all about, but it's a great song. Smile

I have always liked China Crisis for the way their music sounds, however I find them lyrically a bit soft, if not downright baffling at times.

It's not that I dislike baffling lyrics as such (Jon Andersons lyrics for one example) it's just that China Crisis seem to have a "that'll do" attitude to their lyrics.

"Decorate, paint it for the union (?)
No reason to give up on the illusion."
Arizona Sky

"Don't say walk
I may lose my fear."
Christian

Their lyrics can go from profound to mundane in one line.

"Are we believing
Black man ray
Persuasive danger
In everything you say
And we the people
Who answer you why
Forever doubt
As time goes by"
Black Man Ray

I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of uncertain seas

They're Merseyside's Best Kept Secret and I've been Flaunting the Imperfection with China Crisis for nearly forty years now, having first learned how to play Black Man Ray (badly) on my Yamaha keyboard back in the mid-1980's.

^ Cabaret Voltaire's videos are just as bizarre as their music, where they make a good argument for gun control in the shocking video below. Geek

I had every confidence that those midperiod albums from "The Crackdown" to "Groovy, Laidback and Nasty" would garner the most favour with you considering they are the most accessible albums CV released (particularly "Groovy, Laidback and Nasty").

As a fan from virtually the beginning I rate "The Crackdown" and "Micro-Phonies" as five star albums, well worth a listen by any Industrial/ House music fans.

CaVa CaVa      Como ca va? It's CaVa CaVa, a short-lived New Wave band from Bournemouth, featuring a male singer with a squeaky voice who sounds remarkably like a girl (and looks not unlike a young Jon Anderson), but then again, anything goes in the weird and wacky world of 1980's New Romanticism. CaVa CaVa's one and only album was distributed by Regard Records - the primary label of Haysi Fantayzee, but try not to hold that against them. Tongue

"Nag Nag Nag" sounds like something Alf Garnett would've said to the "silly old moo" in Till Death Us Do Part. Smile

Art of Noise - Before You Tube, there was The Tube, a trendy teatime pop show hosted by Jools Holland (keyboard player with Squeeze) and Paula Yates (ex-wife of Bob Geldof). Here's Anne Dudley with Art of Noise performing Live on The Tube in a rare clip from 1986. It's so rare in fact, that I found the clip on YouTube just now when I wasn't even looking for it. Tongue


Artist of Noise - An in-depth interview with Anne Dudley. Heart
