B Side: The Greatest Hits of Devo

A selection from:
Red Noise
+ Bill Nelson
+ some of the last BeBop Deluxe stuff
+ pre-Dare Human League
+ Silicon Teens
+ some John Foxx
+ early OMD
+ early T.Dolby
+ early Depeche Mode
+ Yellow Magic Orchestra
+ Blancmange (maybe)
+ what Custos said (best with mid-period Devo only though, I reckon LC)

At the risk of looking like some kind of Can-Con 80s crank, I'm going to suggest We Run by Strange Advance. It's about as decorative a song as you're going to get, and sums up about half of Ray's suggestions in one shot.

In which case, I obviously need to hear it.
(which half?)

The Human League, Dolby, OMD (esp.), DM parts... maybe more as well. I'm not as familiar with the rest of your list. It was a big hit here in Canada (probably not elsewhere) - totally uber new wave, slick, posturing, yet airy dance music.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 20 October 2002 02:19 (twenty-three years ago)

"Quiet Village." Obviously.

― Jody Beth Rosen, Sunday, 20 October 2002 02:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Brian Reitzel and Roger Joseph Manning Jr, "Metropia"
Les Baxter, "Prelude In C Minor"
Aaaaand that new Luke Vibert "More Nuggets" compilation.

― Nate Patrin, Sunday, 20 October 2002 02:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Stereo Total for something new, but it's hard to top Kraftwerk here - maybe the soundtrack to the Jetsons

― threemetalinsects (threemetalinsects), Sunday, 20 October 2002 04:33 (twenty-three years ago)

i think it's fantastic planet, doorag, about the oms - animated czech-french movie about little humans kept as pets on the planet of telepathic blue giants
