New Musik - Warp (1982) (vinyl Lp) - €15,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

New Musik were an English synth-pop group active from 1977 to 1982.  Led by Tony Mansfield, they achieved success in 1980 with the top 20 single "Living by Numbers" which was followed up with the top 40 hits "This World of Water", "Sanctuary" and hit album From A to B. 

New Musik formed in 1977 in London, growing out of a casual band of South London school friends who jammed together under the name End of the World. 

The lead vocalist and frontman for the band was songwriter and record producer Tony Mansfield, with bassist Tony Hibbert and drummer Phil Towner, who were all at that time also members of the Nick Straker Band. 

The line-up was completed in 1979 with the introduction of keyboardist Clive Gates.

Warp is the third and final album from New Musik released on 5 March 1982.

After the demise of GTO Records, the band released their third and final album, Warp, in 1982 which was more experimental than their previous releases. 

Warp was almost entirely electronic, and one of the first albums to be recorded primarily with digital samplers and emulators. 

It featured a synthesized version of the Beatles' hit song "All You Need Is Love", alongside an identically titled track of their own. New Musik disbanded shortly after its release that year.

Mansfield went on to achieve success in the field of production with After the Fire, a-ha, Aztec Camera, The B-52's, The Damned, Captain Sensible, Naked Eyes, Mari Wilson, Jean Paul Gaultier, Miguel Bosé, and Ana Torroja.
