New Musik - Living By Numbers 7"


Wikipedia: New Musik [were] a synthpop band that performed from 1979 to 1982. Following their debut hit single "Straight Lines" in 1979, the band had three UK Top 40 hits in 1980 (and a #1 hit in France), releasing three albums: From A To B (1980), Anywhere (1981) and Warp (1982). The group also released a compilation album for the United States in 1981 known as Sanctuary which consisted of tracks from the first two albums. After the demise of GTO Records, New Musik quietly disbanded (although never officially). Their early works helped define the archetypal sound of the 80s.

"Living By Numbers" is an heroically silly slice of 80's technopop, that owes a large debt to The Buggles' "Video Killed The Radio Star".
