IT WAS A BOLD NEW WORLD... (PUNKDISCO/NEW WAVE/TANZMUSIK/ELECTRICBODYMUSIC/SYNTHPOP/ELECTRONIC DISCO/DISCO DE MÉTAMORPHOSE}

Skip to Tracks
Between 1978 and 1981 a whole new sound started invading discotheques that was created by Punk acts and a variety of comparable artists and producers. Here is just some. Some listeners may actually wonder why certain popular or revolutionary acts are not included. Here is just a selective sample from what so many of us thought; at the time, was a bold new world!

Some history again.

I have several "histories of pop or New Wave" and none of them mention this combination or movement. Very surprising.

I have a book of The Clash published in France that talks of the group playing in discotheques in Europe avec 'rok the casbah'.

Really interesting concept. I never know what to expect from this show.

Len Van Houff
A very big thank you for playing all of those records that I used to have. I lost them all in a fire in 1994. I got some of them, like Sandinista, on cd yet it doesn't sound as good as the record did. This show is fun and informative. I had never heard of Mathematics Modernes or L.M. Decloux probably from France.

many of the discs you played I bought from YOU at Earful Records in the Glebe! Do you recall?

Elorious Cain (host)
Mr. Van Houff, it is my pleasure. To everybody else - thank you for your comments. It didn't expect such a response. And also I do remember selling some of these records at the first location of Earfull Records.

I know several examples you could have played also. In your defence you did say you were playing 'some examples'. Novel effort.

just can't get that nina hagen version of "lucky number" out of my mind. I keep hearing it over and over
