Thanks a lot. Here's another track, but I will make do with that I think. I don't know if this is strictly new wave (could also be post punk?), but I've always fancied Sort Sol.

This is their 1983 song Abyss.

Listening through the songs now, there's a lot of great stuff. Which should come as no surprise since I have always enjoyed new wave.

Great variety. I have another suggestion. This one is a San Francisco band that has been labeled as both post-punk and new wave.  Probably the song they are best known for though they did well with the single "Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)" from their third album. Unfortunately, they were on a promotional tour for that album when their label dropped them because executive found out the singer wasn't a skinny blonde. The broke up shortly thereafter. Heard this a lot on local radio and on MTV at the time.

I think the idea is to feature some stuff that is not very well known... well, hardly anyone (even in Germany) knows this one. I always loved this album (which came rather accidentally to me). This is a fun track that is almost instrumental, a rare thing for new wave, but I think they totally nail it.

The German new wave suggestions jogged my happy memories of Alphaville- Fallen Angel from their 1984 debut.

I don't blame you.  It's a favorite of mine, too.   What a voice!

I will add one more: Kliché - Bravo Charlie (1982)

Notice that apart from the word 'radio', the lyrics consist entirely of NATO's phonetic alphabet.

As a non-aligned socialist country, former Yugoslavia had a flourishing rock scene.

Ekatarina Velika (EKV, Catherine the Great) from Belgrade was one of their major exponents in the 1980s.

Another Finnish suggestion: Pelle Miljoona - Moottoritie on kuuma

This was a HUGE hit here when it came out and still one of the most known and popular rock songs. I don't know if they stole the bassline from Genesis - Dancing with the Moonlit Knight or came up with it otherwise.

Great stuff! I am enjoying the international flavor of this playlist. I was only able to think of one group from Japan, so here they are.

Great how the internationality of this forum comes into its own in this poll! Perhaps it makes sense to add the country of origin in brackets?

Thanks Greg for the closer! Way to end it with a carving knife.

Playlist is complete! Voting and commenting are optional, but if you have a chance, take a listen and enjoy the music. 

If I have some time later tonight, I'll note the country of origin as Mila suggested.

^ I really was cutting it close, down to the knife's edge, as I had most wanted to include that one, but then decided to go a different route for my first suggestion.

So with this multiple vote poll, I will give two votes for now (I would vote for my suggestions too , but I do think that is bad form ): Kliché - Bravo Charlie and Scala 3 - Veto. Been great fun listening through this. I love the 80s.

Nice listening indeed! Great idea, George, and it worked out quite well here. Will have to listen again to come to some choices...

I voted for New Musik - They All Run After the Carving Knife.

'Anywhere' is a wonderful album, and it's nice to see them mentioned on this forum. Smile
