Question: can you name women from electronic or synth pop acts who were not the singer or face of the group?
(hint: it's not that different in hip hop, rock, jazz, reggae, country, blues, folk, metal, soul, funk... )
A happy 66th birthday to Anne Dudley, lynchpin of avant-garde synth pop group The Art of Noise, Oscar winning soundtrack composer, purveyor of library records, with excursions into disco, hip hop, ambient, and the vanguard of sampling in 1980s production.
