BLANCMANGE - Happy Families

"Blancmange" This duo  was part of the synthpop movement in the '80. They only produce three Lp  in the period '82-'85 (this was the first one) before they decided to close the adventure to take different ways.
In Europe they had quite good success also if not comparable with other Synth-band of the period like Depeche Mode and Soft Cell. Their music with obsessive refrain  can be consider  as a first stage  of  Techno music !!!

B -52's - Wild Planet

B-52's introduces an original style in the music of '80. It was a mix of '60 revival with techno influences and a little bit of  crazy humor (I like to compare B-52's to an easy version of DEVO).


The rythm of their music was irresistible and  it was impossible  not to move (dance) on their songs. i think they gave a big contribute to '80s music.
