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.    1981: B.E.F.

Art of Noise - Close to the Edit (The Prince's Trust Concert: Produced by Trevor Horn, 2004)
Featuring Trevor Horn on bass, Anne Dudley on sampler, Geoff Downes on keyboards and Alan White on drums. Yes, it's all of the fun without the Drama.

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. 2005: Andy Bell - Electric Blue - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI7-zysOboY 2010: Andy Bell - Non-Stop - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mepbJxV-Rs52uN8FelyQxpKgYnKTFe944Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 17 2024 at 09:10 |

I have a few Yello albums and think they are superb.
I'm also a big fan of Icehouse. 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.

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.
Propaganda - Rotterdam, 1985 Propaganda - London, 2012 Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 20 2024 at 10:50 |

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.  Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 21 2024 at 10:59 |

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. 1982: Blancmange - Happy Families - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lBDeaZWbfEeuSwKxTWG7uhw1FKTRjkie8 1984: Blancmange - Mange Tout - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k4LQHFbB_mKjFzlaXdtsHS3nx9NXcSRjs 1985: Blancmange - Believe You Me - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lqiUmOJ6ytIfHbBzpDQNsd5seGnepfNR8 2011: Blancmange - Blanc Burn - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kh7PWrLIx1l-GUpeSh8CLceqgctb-_Dms 2013: Blancmange - Happy Families Too - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lQe0ciPlfROKLhHqWvTQJkgNgX9XH7aO8 2015: Blancmange - Semi-Detached - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9os16x486Xy2aNIAKSTIL8R9vMZkPv0S 2015: Blancmange - Nil by Mouth - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mKq00Wvu2mItdKa39GEsZzDOGcgrE4r60 2016: Blancmange - Commuter 23 - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l84ubL8JLq0irV8PQlCnRyCx-BI3jrops 2017: Blancmange - Unfurnished Rooms - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mdt5Ejha-jlzMWzHzX_WvSW57yzaQCf0k 2018: Blancmange - Wanderlust - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n7cFvN3ZUqVdWm6MmES6lAXCtKck5nE-E 2019: Blancmange - Nil by Mouth II - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_keMRIx5lAAE3mHe5oWXgtgi_NpfLDieFc 2020: Blancmange - Waiting Room (Volume 1) - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lTs8iLRTmGQPESaiqrEvxKmusv_0wuC8o 2020: Blancmange - Mindset - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nw385CEycekm-HFNFRAUo52zM-TnbBG6o 2021: Blancmange - Nil by Mouth III - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mD5-QOJq9jDGsy6feLvIBPf7DVAv92Y_k 2021: Blancmange - Commercial Break - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nhklWG15LXiuiu3IgKri6WykjsbACgM-w 2022: Blancmange - Private View - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nvGaWtNStUG0x3RxtoT_gvUjhlUH9aDuwYear Pos.
