Listicles

Anyone else remember the short-lived "electro list songs" craze of the early 1980s? It briefly looked like being the next big thing, before it was usurped by the cool jazz sound of Blue Rondo a la Turk and the like. Anyway, here are a couple of typical examples of the genre.

"The Human Factor" - Music For Pleasure

"Citizen Europe" - Negative Response

  1. Shouldn't that be Cities in Europe?

    1. A common and understandable mistake, but no it shouldn't

  2. Ah New Musik. What a great outfit they were. Clothed in some secrecy and publicity shy as far as I can gather. Read a good career review of them in Record Collector mag earlier this year (May issue) which you might have seen. Just looked for a link to post but couldn’t find it. No matter, but you’ve set me off listening to some of their others now - Straight Lines, Sanctuary, This World Of Water - so thank you
