Instant Hit: Stranger Station- Minutes of Silence

"Minutes to Silence" was the only single ever released by Stranger Station. The single was released in 1981 for the Superwop label in France with "Strangers" as a B-side. It was one of the rare and pioneering minimal synth tunes from the early decade. Thirty years after, in 2011 that came back for another shot and released the mellow electronic "Cynthia" which was available as 7" vinyl on Attractive!.

Retrovision: Comateens- The Late Mistake

Ronny

There is not much info on the only female performer that was part of the romantic movement in the early 80's. We never managed to find out the real name so we will address her with her artistic moniker. She was brought up in the grim Northern industrial area of France and left home at 14 to go to Paris, doing all kinds of different jobs. She took dancing classes, used to model and then stopped everything and started to write songs.

The club entrepreneur Rusty Egan met Ronny in the Paris club Privelege and introduced her to the whole New Romantic movement and she soon became a regular at the Blitz Club. Ronny released three singles co-produced with Midge Ure/Rusty Egan, Vangelis and Peter Godwin. They were all released in 1981/82 on Polydor, "If you Want Me to Stay" has grown into a New Wave classic in the Internet era. 

Instant Hit: Paul Haig- Something Good

"Something Good" was released as the single in 1989 and it was the lead track from the album Chain released during the same year. Paul Haig financed the recordings himself hoping for a release by Les Disques Du Crepuscule but when Crepuscule dissolved, it was released on Virgin subsidiary Circa. The single was co-produced by Alan Rankine from The Associates and the sleeve included the small Angus McBean portrait of Audrey Hepburn. Even today this remains as one of the most remarkable and memorable Paul Haig songs. 

 

Client- Heartland

Client have released their third album, ‘Heartland’, and it features 11 of their own tracks, including a couple of instrumentals, alongside a cover of Adam & the Ants ode to song thievery Xerox Machine. It has been released in Germany on the “Out of Line” label on 23. March 2007. The group was founded by Kate Holmes, formerly a member of Frazier Chorus and Technique, and Sarah Blackwood, whose previously gentle and enticing vocals for Dubstar are still instantly recognisable here.
