I could hardly let Christmas Day go by without a new blog, so here it is - SYNTH BRITANNIA - celebrating the electronic eighties when Synth-Pop swept like a New Wave across the British music scene. It's an MTV  world of polyphonic synthesisers, digital drum machines, catchy dance beats, and the rise of the New Romantic movement, which was characterised by flamboyant, eccentric fashion and garish lipstick and mascara - and that was just the men. Smile

It started off so well with OMD and Tubeway Army+ Gary Numans first solo album but then for me it got a bit boring. I never liked New Order that much and hated The Human League (even if the producer worked with ELP as he used to go on about in his interviews). 

That Tubeway Army album is still a classic though. I remember getting very excited when it was released late 1979. Probably the last time I had that feeling about any music.

Ultravox is in my top 10 bands of all time, and no matter who sings lead vocals be it Foxx or Ure

I remember seeing Gary Numan at the Leicester air show where he was flying his own vintage plane. My favourite song of his is "Cars".
 
I've always been a big fan of The Human League but I feel the same way as you do about New Order. Smile

yeah agreed , they were a great band.

Also I forgot that this is my favourite track of the whole synth pop thing and has a lot of Midge Ure's involvement to thank for it. I play this a helluva lot!

ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK - Souvenir Documentary - (Billed as the "Best Ever A Must See Music Documentary" on YouTube - although I wouldn't quite go that far.) It is essential viewing for any fans of OMD though. Smile

I'd probably nominate this one as my favourite song from that category:

Just to get the balance right in a Synth-Pop blog, I thought I'd add my favourite song by Depeche Mode. Smile

For those who say there's not enough musical variety on PA and want to turn it into an all-music site, Wink this is my first Synth Britannia A-Z playlist. I'd like to have included Zeigeist at the bottom of the list too (seeing as it's the only Synth-Pop band I know of beginning with the letter "Z") - until I discovered they're actually Swedish. Anyway, here's the list, only now it's a question of finding the time to feature all of these artists  (with their carefully coiffed perms) amongst the vast pantheon of prog. but When in Rome, as they say. Smile

ABC
The Blue Nile (suggested by Steve Wyzard - in place of Blancmange) Wink
China Crisis
Depeche Mode
Eurythmics
Flock of Seagulls
Goldfrapp
The Human League
The Icicle Works
Jon & Vangelis
Kissing the Pink
Landscape
Mirrors
Gary Numan (and Tubeway Army)
Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark
Pet Shop Boys
The Quick 
Re-Flex
Soft Cell
Talk Talk (obviously!)
Ultravox
Visage
When in Rome
Yazoo

Hats off for a great suggestion! The Blue Nile are coming up here later, but choosing the first Synth-Pop artist to feature here today is as simple as ABC. Smile

Can I add 'New Musik' to the list?

 'Anywhere' is one of my favourite albums. Synth pop heaven! Smile

They did three albums in total, but 'Anywhere' is their best in my opinion. Smile

Art of Noise were superb.

'Peter Gunn' with Duane Eddy, and the video with Rick Mayall as the gumshoe are great. Smile

Synth Britannia Documentary:- A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (especially for those of us who are too young to remember the 1980's), it's the sound of the future, yesterday, as we travel back in time to the New Romantic era of heavy mascara, bright red lipstick, big hairdos & flamboyant fashions (and sometimes, that even included the women too). Tongue

Could 'Fad Gadget' be included in Synth-Pop Britannia I wonder?

Signed to the 'Mute' label (Depeche Mode,Erasure) by Daniel Miller.

Definitely synth, poppy, but maybe a little bit darker? Smile

^ Great suggestion! I just added Fad Gadget to the A-Z master list on Page 1, so they'll be coming up right after the Eurythmics and just before a Flock of Seagulls. Watch out for that seagull....

^ I certainly would think so, Synth Pop and Synth Punk.  Of course some albums and songs could be considered more appropriate than others.

This is great, imo.


One I need to check out more.

^ Then it's not available in your region.  It's "Wheels of Fortune" off Fad Gadget's Under the Flag.  I might try to edit in another embed.

A more modern one to mention that I really like but might not be so much to your tastes, Paul, is Linea Aspera.

Synth-Pop Britannia

ABC       The first band on the A to Z list and the second most famous Synth-Pop band from the cosmopolitan city of Sheffield. Martin Fry & co. have been entertaining us now for over forty years with their sophisticated, highly danceable tunes, although I strongly suspect the only ABC album anyone remembers these days is their magnificent debut: The Lexicon of Love - an album I love with All of My Heart. If you can Show Me a better UK Synth-Pop debut than The Lexicon of Love, then you can shoot that Poison Arrow through my heart. Smile

I really liked the '80s synthpop coming out of the UK, so there's a lot to unpack here for me.

Out of all the artists named here i think that Gary Numan is one who is still consistently putting out high quality stuff.

I know it's probably next to impossible to name everyone, however I do wonder where two of my favourite bands of that era fit in: Cabaret Voltaire and Shriekback.





I would also like to mention a one-off album by a group who named themselves Gardening by Moonlight. They only made one album but it's a cracker:

^ Thanks for giving those three bands a well-deserved mention. I've added them all to the list on Page 1. Shriekback reminds me of a little-known Synth-Pop duo called Seona Dancing, featuring a very young and trendy-looking Ricky Gervais. Smile

Ricky Gervais as he was then....

ABC's largely forgotten second album, which has been called "the greatest career sabotage in pop music history", but it's really not that bad. Smile

The two singles released from the Beauty Stab album, the first of which includes the immortal lyric, "Can't complain, mustn't grumble, help yourself to another piece of apple crumble" - and Martin Fry wondered why the album flopped. Tongue

The third ABC album, which is notable for not only including founder members Martin Fry and Mark White, but also includes two uncredited performers who made little or no musical contribution to the album, but were there merely to make up the numbers for promotional purposes. A bit like Boney M and Milli Vanilli then. Tongue

As if by magic, ABC's sixth album appears, but founder member Mark White promptly disappears, saying "I've had enough of this" - meaning another ABC album full of House music dance grooves and techno sounds. Can't say I blame him for leaving. Stern Smile

Martin Fry had high hopes of success for ABC's seventh album - the first without founder member Mark White - but the album failed to climb the charts, somewhat ironically, although Stranger Things have happened. Geek

3 stars 2008: ABC - Traffic 

The video for the very first single from ABC's eighth album features a man being grabbed by the hair and smothered by Diana Dors' ample assets. Some guys have all the luck. Tongue

Does anyone remember Belgian synth pop band 'Telex' from the late 70's?

This album has a cover of Bill Hayley's 'Rock Around The Clock', released as a single, it was a minor hit in the UK. I bought this in a record shop bargain bin back in the day, and I wish I still had it.Smile

^ I vaguely remember Telex, so here's a handy reminder. They were popular in Moskow Discow, apparently. Smile

Octopus, I do, I do ! :-)
They participated to the Eurovision song contest in 197? with a track called Eu-ro-vi-sion Eu-ro-vi-sion (french accent)
without success of course , humour is not the trademark of this insipid/boring/mercantile event

Finally, 34 years and eight albums later, it's the fabulous follow-up to The Lexicon of Love album (as if you hadn't already guessed), which includes lush orchestration courtesy of Anne Dudley, who you may recall was a key member of Art of Noise, and purely by coincidence, they're coming up here next. Thumbs Up

I'd like to have included Zeigeist at the bottom of the list too (seeing as it's the only Synth-Pop band I know of beginning with the letter "Z") - until I discovered they're actually Swedish. Anyway, here's the list, only now it's a question of finding the time to feature all of these artists  (with their carefully coiffed perms) amongst the vast pantheon of prog. but When in Rome, as they say. Smile

ABC
The Blue Nile (suggested by Steve Wyzard - in place of Blancmange) Wink
China Crisis
Depeche Mode
Eurythmics
Flock of Seagulls
Goldfrapp
The Human League
The Icicle Works
Jon & Vangelis
Kissing the Pink
Landscape
Mirrors
Gary Numan (and Tubeway Army)
Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark
Pet Shop Boys
The Quick 
Re-Flex
Soft Cell
Talk Talk (obviously!)
Ultravox
Visage
When in Rome
Yazoo


Love many songs / albums by the bands listed here. Here are a few not mentioned:

Simple Minds
New Order
Tears For Fears
Electric Light Orchestra
Strawberry Suicide
Duran Duran
Andy Oppenheimer
John Foxx (outside of Ultravox)
Naked Eyes
Bill Nelson's Red Noise
The Cure
Thomas Dolby
New Musik
Buggles
Erasure
Fad Gadget
Ladytron
Visage
The The
Scritti Politti
Kim Wilde
Art Of Noise
Virna Lindt
Anne Clark
Rupert Hine
Chris & Cosey
Heaven 17
Section 25
Howard Jones
Bronski Beat
Blancmange
Pete Shelley
Rexy
Thompson Twins
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Altered Images
Arcadia

Nobody wants PA to be an all music site. The site is unstable as is and it would require a paid staff to maintain.

Rate Your Music has filled that role better than this site could ever hope to accomplish.

If this was an all music site there would really be no need to come here any longer for myself at least :)

Synth-Pop Britannia

ALPINESTARS      Not a brand of sports safety equipment, but a little-known Synth-Pop duo from Manchester. Alpinestars launched their bid for pop stardom without a safety net, having decided to retain artistic control by not signing to a major label, which is why you've probably never heard of them before. Stern Smile

 4 stars 2000: Alpinestars - B.A.S.I.C. -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k5V9xmyzUbqBi76Uy4tynoEU-_EQyDmQk" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k5V9xmyzUbqBi76Uy4tynoEU-_EQyDmQk

Synth-Pop Britannia

B.E.F. (BRITISH ELECTRIC FOUNDATION)       A production duo consisting of former Human League members Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh. The B.E.F. got off to a shaky start with a couple of minor league experimental albums, but then hit the major league jackpot with three Music of Quality & Distinction albums, featuring numerous guest singers from the world of pop and rock, performing classic favourites in an innovative Synth-Pop style like you've never heard them played before. Music of Quality & Distinction is exactly what it says on the label, reaching their peak with the seductively soulful Volume 2, and if that sounds heavenly, it's worth knowing that the B.E.F. led to the formation of Heaven 17. Smile Heart

ANDY BELL      Seems like a nice boy.... What a gay day to go up on stage clad in tight rubber shorts and an oiled up bare chest. That's Andy Bell, the singer with Erasure. Coming up next is Blancmange, who'll be here in just a trifle. Smile

I have a few Yello albums and think they are superb. 

I'm also a big fan of Icehouse. Smile

As far as 'International' synth pop bands are concerned, has anyone heard of 'Our Daughter's Wedding' from the USA? They date back to the early eighties. I think 'Lawnchairs' is probably their best known song.

^ From the ten international artists and songs listed, my personal favourite is Propaganda's Dr. Mabuse - produced by Trevor Horn (who's also on bass) with Geoff Downes on keyboards and Alan White on drums. Yes, it's three-fifths of the 1980 YES line-up back together again in a 2004 re-Union without the Drama. Smile

It's long been A Secret Wish of mine to see my favourite German Synth-Pop band perform Live, and a Dream within a Dream just came true, because here's Propaganda as they were then ( back in 1985) and as they are now (in 2012), and so we can all have a proper gander now at lovely Claudia Brucken and Susanne Freytag. Heart

Propaganda - Rotterdam, 1985

Are Friends Eclectic? We're travelling back to the future, to a time way back when Gary Numan was the future once. But who were the early pioneers of electronica before that? The story begins with Del Shannon's Runaway in 1961 and the Tornado's Telstar in 1962 before moving on to the emergence of Doctor Who and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in 1963, the innovative Silver Apples in 1968, and swiftly followed by the rise of Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream in the early 1970's.  But how did we get to the point where "Are Friends Electric" became number one in 1979? This is the story of how Synth-Pop became Synth-Pop.

I hadn't heard of Our Daughter's Wedding - until now - but here's an engaging Swedish band you may not have heard of before (Secret Service)  as they were just a Flash in the Night in England, having never had a single enter the UK charts. Confused

Synth-Pop Britannia

BLANCMANGE      Mange Tout! Don't Tell Me Blancmange have reunited again after a break of a quarter of a century? Well, not quite. The duo of Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe reunited briefly in 2011, but Luscombe was forced to leave the band due to ill health, leaving Neil Arthur to continue alone with a revolving-door line-up of various guest musicians appearing on subsequent albums. Believe You Me though,  Blancmange's comeback albums are a mere trifle compared to their first two albums, featuring the memorable hits "Living on the Ceiling" in 1982 and "The Day Before You Came" in 1984, which inexplicably, climbed higher in the UK charts than ABBA's far superior original version.  Shocked
