New Wave Music Recs.

[terry.330]

Looking for stuff along the lines of early INXS, Comsat Angels, The Sound etc. Before it all turned into Pop glamour bullshit.

hmm.. these may be off basis or right on. not sure since they fall a little bit in the more punk wave side in a way.
the chameleons
red lorry yellow lorry
SVT
payola $
new order of course...

more along these lines?

Fay Ray, only made one album, sounds a bit like if you crossed The Sounds with Siouxsie & the Banshees

Ministry's With Sympathy album up to Everyday Is Halloween era (before he went all metal...and mental)

Freur, before they became 90's electronica Underworld

Flock of Seagulls, more synthpop but still:

Psuedo Echo, just their first album (they became more rock/pop)

Thanks for the recs. hadn't heard of Freur or The Chameleons before, good stuff.

oh also... just dont be dissapointed by the fact that this and 3 other songs is ALL the group did in the new wave genre. otherwise they had a fantastic punk album before this.
