Carlo - lahi sab nang Pale Fountains, Blue Nile, Wild Swans, Care, Lotus Eaters, etc.. naa sab na silay ilahang style... humok nya lutaw kaayo pero di pang ki-ay ki-ay preha sa Pet Shop Boys ug Erasure. Kanang Mighty Lemon Drops i classify na nako sa mga bagsik bagsik nga newwave sama sa The Jesus and Mary Chain, Echo and the Bunnymen, Charlatans, Real People ...

Anyhow - dawat nimo number ni Kali? akong gi private message diha nimo.

@ EZRA, drknyt mga karaan na gyud mo nga tao no hehehehe... its good nga naa pa gyud diay mo dig ani nga style..

same here I dont like most of the new romantics pero naay puy deep gyud nga bands ani nga genre..

ex. depeche mode started out as New Romantic but they evolved and evolved same with duran duran...


main influence ani nila kay bayot si DAVID BOWIE..

[EZRA]

Daghan gyud na influence si Bowie ug Kraftwerk ...
Sa mga ki-ay ki-ay nga New Wave - akong ganahan kay OMD, Early Depeche Mode (later Depeche Mode dili naman pang ki-ay ki-ay), Synth-era New Order (katung mga Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, etc..), Soft Cell, Book Of Love, Lightning Seeds, China Crisis ug uban pa ..... Katung Camouflage payts baya to ilang usa ka album - katung naay Neighbors ug Great Commandments .. pero na laos lang dayon kay sigeg tukar sa baylehan.

THE PALE FOUNTAINS....reminds me alot of those days at NU 107 cebu at friday evenings at six...its really a new wave genre which focuses much on syth-electro pop...which for me has always been cheesy..hehehe..Bands like Spandau Ballet like to dress-up despite coming from working class neighborhoods...wearing a bit of cosmetics and frilly clothing...

OMD though is one of my faves...

New romanticism emerged in the UK music scene in the early 80s as a direct backlash against the ausÂ*terity of the punk movement. At various times it became a catch-all term for quite disparate bands working within the pop world, and consequently works better as a description of a specific time rather than sound or style. Where punk railed against life on England's council estates, the new romantics celebrated glamour; ostentatious clothes and hedonism.

The coming of age of the video as a promotional tool was important to the development of new romanticism as were the outlandish haircuts (A Flock of Seagulls ) the frilled shirts (Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet) and the fact that men could be seen wearing mascara (practically everyone involved). Guitars, though present, were subordinate to synthesizers.
The movement's early fulcrum was Stevo (Steven Pearse), whose Some Bizzare Album compilation in 1980 introduced such artists as Classix Nouveaux, Blancmange, Depeche Mode and Soft Cell. Centred on London clubs such as Blitz, this new gaggle of groups was at first termed 'futuristic'. The Human League had been active for some time in Sheffield but in a new incarnation perfectly amalgamated simple song ideas with basic keyboard skifis to define the essenÂ*tial new romantic blueprint. Adam And The Ants were historically linked with punk, as were, more obliquely, Culture Club, though both found a place on the fringe of the movement as a platform for major chart success.

If the most obvious historical ancestor of new romanticism was David Bowie, then Japan were his closest living relatives, aping even his fascination with the Orient. The two biggest stars were undoubtedly Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. The former wrote classic pop hooks with casual ease for much of the period, though Spandau Ballet were always more visually than aurally appealing, despite the occasional winÂ*ning single (the melodrama of 'True' was resonant enough for PM Dawn to make it rap's first new romantic sample).
Of less enduring fame or subÂ*stance were Classix Nouveaux, Visage and A Flock Of Seagulls, despite the latter breaking through in the American market. Nevertheless, several excepÂ*tional singles were left behind that effectively defined the times, and it was to no great surprise that the movement was revisited in 1995 with the development of the 'Romo' scene.
