Thanks for posting those.
The 'Tyranny And The Hired Hand' album is probably his best 'solo' album IMHO. Frank Tovey died tragically young as well. |

^ Yes, sadly Frank Tovey didn't live long enough to experience all of the latest fad gadgets such as I-Pods, Smart Phones, MP3 Players, Apple Watches, the modern laptop and broadband Internet, where we can all now enjoy his music again belatedly.

FATAL CHARM The best Synth-Pop band ever to emerge from Nottingham, or far more likely, the ONLY Synth-Pop band ever to emerge from Nottingham. 1985: Fatal Charm - Endangered Species - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3YsFgKWz1Q |

FIAT LUX From Be-Bop Deluxe to Fiat Lux: a Synth-Pop trio featuring Bill Nelson's younger brother Ian Nelson. After making a minor splash with two charting singles in the mid-1980's, Fiat Lux took a long extended break on the tropical island of Hiatus before making the most amazing comeback since Robert Downey Jr. 35 years later with two further studio albums, as well as a "Lost Album" of unreleased songs from their 1984 album "Hired History". 1984: Fiat Lux - Hired History - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmPnM8FsOCAuHkBAobDqkFthFQ1DgX-bo 2019: Fiat Lux - Saved Symmetry - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nJDrGdHGvy0bf5Z_78Aq8kQneZm5USVaQ 2019: Fiat Lux - Ark of Embers (The Lost Album) 2021: Fiat Lux - Twisted Culture - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l2HGFEyOw5m6ph0qqGCf0n6epnkjquGkY Year Pos.

THE FIXX Not a Synth-Pop band as such, but The Fixx are one of the best New Wave bands I've found whilst surfing The Net, and One Thing Leads to Another and they've now become a Fixxation. The Fixx never really disbanded - they've just been making endless comebacks for the last forty years, making them a semi-permanent Fixxture in the record stores, if not the record charts. 1982: The Fixx - Shuttered Room - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiLZXEOEc9rAT28UyMbPX0ezbXYkNWxGZ 1983: The Fixx - Reach the Beach - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mISHt0_T2DZ9MKwmHs494Rgn7K6aydTa8 1984: The Fixx - Phantoms - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nKtIgYFLyOIbt9IGMD2fAB8zpsZ3rrPr4 1986: The Fixx - Walkabout - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nJkS1jQH5oRdIM8-ApH0yx4YoqTlIU2vo 1989: The Fixx - Calm Animals - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTsPZeikjsKwv8IAsYNdhmeF6p1Q4PCT6 1991: The Fixx - Ink - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC3T8CncQbVAQQ_AmRPw4kCa4xGny79IA 1996: The Fixx - Happy Landings and Lost Tracks - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRJE4MMykAedUxWENkDmTryWv12DQD7hh 1998: The Fixx - Elemental - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9ZOtTqoLpM8TnijGPZ_Tp7giP93HaU_N 1999: The Fixx - 1011 Woodland - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjzl1ZqN8yTyCB7aydKokfUA60RJh6WYF 2003: The Fixx - Want That Life - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_y95OIgH2AacHWtvxXi-3URRun2H_-iS 2012: The Fixx - Beautiful Friction - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lh6P_UrzRkvOoKCk0gHPtqg8_aOTcrOtU 2022: The Fixx - Every Five Seconds - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kRlz4K1uFZhrd-UPLQdn0d1euEt0uYHKg Year Pos.

A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS A Liverpool band led by former hairdresser Mike Score, famous for having the most distinctively coiffed hairdo in the flamboyant history of Synth-Pop, which could easily provide a nest for a seagull. His eye-catching blond mane of hair has variously been described as looking like a dead racoon, or like cascading waterfall bangs, although he's as bald as a proverbial coot these days, bless him. Here's Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of Mike Score, or something to remind me of him back in his heyday - like a video for instance). 1982: A Flock of Seagulls - A Flock of Seagulls - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l8U1X2_Lz_da-jeetFYgVEG6sSISBgT44 1983: A Flock of Seagulls - Listen - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mrxeoKzaDAHAJMUL5GqU3ZuaX2oLY0zKY 1984: A Flock of Seagulls - The Story of a Young Heart - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_neAyXmxdYwMurgmEsgMZRHsAOy2vy0uY4 1986: A Flock of Seagulls - Dream Come True - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_meomEYY9XRAGKaxONl9_jWtCHRBgEhdSQ 1995: A Flock of Seagulls - The Light at the End of the World - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4FC176BF2BBE0DA0 2018: A Flock of Seagulls - Ascension - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHicV2kaT_A 2021: A Flock of Seagulls - String Theory - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xYBaaBVdGQ Year Pos.

These guys almost epitomized the entire "new wave/synth pop" scene of the early-1980s - it's hard to remember those days without also thinking of them. I saw them live twice, in fact your previous entry The Fixx opened for them in July 1983. Once original guitarist Paul Reynolds left, they were never the same. I see you gave their 2018 album Ascension 5 stars - maybe I'll have to give that one a listen.

^ From The Fixx to John Foxx by way of A Flock of Seagulls, their two most recent albums in 2018 & 2021 have the added bonus of including a full orchestra, which I guess could best be described as Symphonic Synth-Pop.
A Flock of Seagulls at the Rock Pop Music Hall somewhere in Europe in 1985. |

JOHN FOXX He Came to Dance.....
