New Wave 101 Playlist - July 20 New Romantics Part 4!!!

[djMoog]

Hey all, on the 20th of July we took a listen to the 4th and final part of our multi week examinations of the New Romantics...we explored the reasons why the New Romantic movement fizzled out, namely:

1) It moved too much towards pop;
2) Some bands got too big for their own good (Duran Duran);
3) The image was destroyed by scandal (Boy George); and,
4) Some of those grouped in with the New Romantics broke away to discover their own new edgy sounds (Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Talk Talk and David Sylvian).

So, your playlist for the night:

1. Spandau Ballet - True
