I have not watched this but I am sure it will be of interest to some.

DURATION: 1 HOUR, 30 MINUTES

Documentary following a generation of post-punk musicians who took the synthesiser from the experimental fringes to the centre of the pop stage.

In the late 1970s, small pockets of electronic artists including the Human League, Daniel Miller and Cabaret Volatire were inspired by Kraftwerk and JG Ballard and dreamt of the sound of the future against the backdrop of bleak, high-rise Britain.

It was on after the Mike Oldfield/Tubular Bells program Friday night. A bit dull to be honest :nup:

I enjoyed it!

I remember saving up for a Korg as well so I could be Fad Gadget...

But I took up the bass instead. I blame Norman Watt-Roy.

Ah, but at that stage (late 70s) I already had a Mini Moog. Everything else was second best
