Thank you! I knew the bbc had to have something like that.
I think i'll spend the afternoon in doculand!
Watched that yesterday - it's not really much of a documentary though, just a playlist with a few text comments. Mostly good stuff although I would have replaced the dreadful Vienna with one of Ultravox's earlier numbers (My Sex) and kicked Howard Jones off completely.

I just don't get why New Order is in that while pure synth acts like Howard Jones isn't? :?
He is in it unfortunately - the only parts I fast forwarded were that and the Pet Shop Boys

Great doco. People who don't like pop will like this one much better. ;)

I'm in a hurry so this will be a sloppy list.

- The Devil & Daniel Johnston

- A Band Called Death

- Theremin: An Electric Odyssey

- Who's Harry Nilsson (and why's everybody talking about him?)

- When You're Strange (The Doors doc)

There are a bunch of others I can't remember right now, bah!

Included on the latest Beat Mag DVD 128. I just hope it aint dubbed to german only :pray:

When it comes to the New Wave period and early 80's music it seems like New Order/Joy Division is like ketchup for journalists, it must be poured over everything :help:
I seem to recall that Howard Jones was in that. He represented "the beginning of the end", showing a clip of the video for "New Song" with him dancing around with a mime. I thought that was a particularly unwarranted cheap shot, but maybe that's just me...

'The Wrecking Crew'. Apparently there was only one actual band playing in the 60's. Very enlightening.
