search C90: music that makes you do mentalist jerky hand movement dance (without fear or embarrasment) as if in a Berlin discotheque surrounded by bored rich girls and awkward boys in skinny ties

i was thinking of Neue Deutsche Welle stuff, early New Order, Devo, Tubeway Army/early Numan, PiL.. but conceivably some J-Pop could work, electro etc..

basically angular, sharp, danceable, electronic-influenced stuff with a pop intention (if not necessarily the outcome)

oh god, rereading the title and someone is bound to say this but: Ian Curtis probably owns this thread.

Metamatic is awesome yes. I saw Ultravox on, er, the UK tour they did after the one for "Vienna". I did the Ian Curtis dance! and people imitated me!

Arab on Radar, though maybe they lack pop intent. Imminently danceable, angular, sharp.

There's a new Belgium comp just out called "beat noir" or something that I really want to hear, all the tracks of which are probably perfect for this thread.

"There's a new Belgium comp just out called "beat noir" or something that I really want to hear, all the tracks of which are probably perfect for this thread."

it could be you're thinking of the german Teutonik Disaster compilation, which is marvellous.

― david mc, Tuesday, 26 November 2002 02:24 (twenty-three years ago)

i think it's the one on eskimo that jockey slut gave comp of the month to. it looks fantastiche!

sounds interesting. whats the name of it?

― david mc, Tuesday, 26 November 2002 12:29 (twenty-three years ago)

sorry, david, i can't remember. i'll have a look at the mag tonight.

― michael wells (michael w.), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 12:38 (twenty-three years ago)

it's called 'serie noire: dark pop = new beat'. here's the full tracklist:
1 logic system unit
2 the pool jamaica running
3 will powers adventures in success
4 alan parsons project mammagamma (instrumental version)
5 a split second flesh
6 snowy red euroshima / wardance
7 section 25 looking from a hilltop
8 jump funkatarium
9 metro area miura
10 my mine hypnotic tango (instrumental version)
11 grauzone film 2
12 vicious pink 8:15 to nowhere
13 executive slacks the bus
14 john carpenter the end
15 kissing the pink big man restless (original extended version)
16 carlos perón nothing is true, everything is permitted
17 c cat trance shake the mind

wtf is 'miura' on it? i love it but is there some new law that it has to be included on every new compilation released? aside from that it looks good.

― michael wells (michael w.), Thursday, 28 November 2002 15:49 (twenty-three years ago)

ural 13 diktators - death before disko

― minna (minna), Thursday, 28 November 2002 15:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, that's the comp, michael! Thanks for saving me the trouble of looking it up on the N.E.W.S. site.

I love that "Adventures in Success" is on there. I should really start a Will Powers thread sometime...
