WAW: John Maus - Enterprise

Yesterday while I was browsing for some underground Maus releases, I discoverd this video for a song "Enterprise". The music for this song was written and performed by John Maus and the video was recorded by Jennifer Juniper Stratford. This could be a possible new release by Mr. John Maus but there is no official confirmation of that. So we have to wait to see and enjoy this wonderful song in the meanwhile.

In Conversation: Brian Moss (Vicious Pink)

Vicious Pink, a synth-pop duo consisting of Brian Moss and Josephine Warden, originated in Leeds, England in 1981. Initially, they served as backing vocalists for Soft Cell under the name Vicious Pink Phenomena. Despite releasing several singles in the early part of the decade, their breakthrough came with "CCCan't You See," produced by Tony Mansfield of New Musik fame.

During the early 1980s, Vicious Pink stood among the few bands considered pioneers of the techno sound. They are credited with coining the term to describe music in 1982, well ahead of its adoption by Detroit DJs in 1986.
