| The Official Marsheaux Forum now online!EY owes a lot to this marvellous musical resource.These new bands have provided us with a constantly evolving soundtrack to 2007 and their tracks will remain with uswell into 2008 and we've had a fantastic time covering it all.Click on the artist's pics to sample their brilliance....Roisin's passionate and powerful vocals with warm Roland SH101 analogue layers is one of the best electro combinations since Yazoo and EY simply can't get enough of this track.Roisin really should be as big as the likes of Rihana and Robyn and 'You Know Me Better' is good enough to challenge both of them.This is the best album opener since Dare's 'The Things That Dreams Are Made Of' and people with sound ears will be enjoying 'Hanging On' for many, many years to come.Mirrorball' is the most played EY mp3 track since October.Europe's coolest label UNDO Records will shorlty be releasing the single in delux packaging.Le Disko: Shiny New Toys
Originally a single release in 2006 for the US based band , the more 'traditional' version was remixed for a Motorola advert over in Europe last summer.What You Don't Like: Marsheaux
Marsheaux should release more singles and this should have been single number 2 across Europe.Micro Korg hooks that smack you in the face whilst you punch the air near loud speakers.This is one of the tracks that got the loudest of cheers at the EY event in Hoxton and Orac was cheering like a very drunk person, trying to keep up with the rather brilliant OMD crowd at the front..This is power pop with a chorus that will uplift you to an unimaginable high.It may remind you of the Human League's glory days or Duran Duran circa 'Rio'.The oddest yet one of the most captivating and expertly programmed analogue tracks of 2007 coupled with poetic lyrics that pump up the imagination.Necroluxe are a band for those who like their Depeche just that little bit darker...The Smartest Bomb: Cassette Electrik
Possibly the best song about unrequited love ever written to pulsating Moogs with the coolest of middle eights.EY single of the month, Cassette supported the Human League on a few of the Dare dates and won over many new fans with many copies of their debut album sold on the night.You will hear more of this band and in the meantime, we urge all you shameless lovers of pure analogue pop to check out Electroqueer.More top EY tracks of 2007 to follow shortly...Official Marsheaux forum launched today!Programmed and designed by OMD fans Robert R and Latex.Marsheaux have been so impressed with the commitment, love and support of the online OMD community who turned out in force for our Hoxton event last October,that UNDO have personally awarded their hard work with official status.The Official Marsheaux Forum will have regular posts from the Undo team including Marianthi, Sophie and EY so hit this link and join up today for future news exclusives and details on the next big EY event in 2008.Necroluxe EY01 for Feb 08!Electronically Yours will be launching it's very own label in the new year and we are delighted to confirm that our very first release will be the debut EP from the immensely talented 'gloompop' London duo Necroluxe.We were always looking for something slightly left of center, with a strange off worldly quality that would stand out within a genre that is really taking off in such a big way across Europe.Within a few minutes at a pub in Bethnal Green, we knew we had the right act and we clicked musically from the word go.Necros were into Marsheaux a good few months before EY had picked up on the Athens band.Necroluxe have no desire to make pots of money or be famous, nor will they conform.It's rare to get such thought provoking lyrics that can paint a myriad of cinematic images in the mind's eye and it's a very precious talent.Necroluxe narrative a depth that will extend the EP's lifespan well beyond the release on EY's label.This won't be a CDR either but a rather collectable release for the analogue connoisseur like the early Mute releases before they lost the plot and sold it all to EMI who later abandoned the label's electronic roots by signing naff guitar acts.Both bands have admired each other's work since they met at the EY event at Hoxton and there may be further collaborations in the future.To celebrate the release of 'Neoteny', EY is arranging some gigs for Necroluxe and the first confirmed date is at The Oakford in Reading on Saturday March 8th.Entry for this event is completely free!DJ's Maddy (pictured opposite).Neoteny' will appear here shortly.Lyrics for the forthcoming 'Neoteny' EP and Carbon have now been added to the official Necroluxe website as well as a biog.More will be added shortly and you can reach the site here.League and Duran Duran with added hooks and modern glamour.One recent review posted on the band's myspace page that caught the eye of EY was from The Independent on Sunday and we just had to slap it in full on the newspage.Corrie this Christmas in the ratings!!The way in which they've fallen by the wayside illustrates that, like Le Bon's aforementioned nuclear war, it ain' t easy at all.Daggers have digested the theory that there is no necessary divide between art and populism, and they're already putting it into practice.The Human League, but which personally reminds me of Heaven 17 circa Penthouse and Pavement, is the sort of song that, with every listen, sounds like a potential modern classic.If you want to gauge Daggers' potential, you aren't just looking at the Manchester scene, or the indie scene, or anything so irrelevant.If you haven't heard 'Money yet, hit on this link.One of the most memorable years for electro since 1982 may just be drawing to a close but Myspace has once again provided us with a band who are simply perfect for EY.New Order, Depeche Mode, Human League, Pet Shop Boys, Madonna and Blondie.The intro reminds us of Proper Filthy Naughty's sublime underground dancefloor filler 'Fascination' that was remixed by the Droyds some years back and the Ultrasonics couldn't have picked a better vocalist than Johanna Lee Gervin.The Ultrasonic's forthcoming single also has one or two bleepy synth lead sounds that are as catchy as the ones we hummed along to with Alice Deejay's 1999 gem 'Better Off Alone'.We wanted to write songs that dance music enthusiasts could enjoy, and at the same time still appeal to large masses.Things do get back on track with another likely single called 'It's Over Now' that reached the top spot in Electroqueers chart recently (Marsheaux's 'Hanging On' is currently sitting at number 3).It isn't easy to pick a fave out of the three Ultrasonics songs on offer and we should mention that they have some of the best production that we've heard all year but 'Love Addiction' gives us a funny glow.Dive into the Ultrasonics and end 2007 on a real high by hitting on this link to myspace.April 08, Necroluxe also catch the Moroder bug with their new mix of 'Carbon Monoxide Smile' plus we have details of their first live gig of 2008.Yazoo to reform in 2008?Mute look set for a major Yazoo promotional push early next year which is likely to result in delux remasters of the two studio albums.Fans are speculating that it could possibly involve some Yazoo tour dates in the UK to possibly promote a new compilation CD of mixes and unreleased tracks such as the 1982 live track 'Get Set' though none of this is confirmed.EY will be paying special tribute to Yazoo shorlty.SH101 mutated with Jupiter 8 crossed with a dose of Alison Moyet'.Richard Stone Club Mix
2.Kissy Sell Out Mix
3.Justus Kohncke Dub Mix
6.Richard Stone Dub Mix
7.Original Dub Edit
8.Kissy mixes are sublime.MySpace and I think it's a great opportunity to build a new electro scene on the internet.If you close your eyes, what sense takes over?Are you moved by the art of noise?SOUND features more then one hundred original sound pieces by leading artists, musicians, and personalities.Johnsons, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran), Karl Bartos, Andrew WK, Chan Marshall (Cat Power), Danger Mouse, Malcolm McLaren, Ruyuichi Sakamoto, Robert Wilson, Yoko Ono, Christian Marclay, Doug Aitken, Gary Hill, Sylvie Fleury, DJs Miss Kittin, Trevor Jackson, Towa Tei, Michel Gaubert; fashion designers Alexander McQueen, Helmut Lang and many more.Support is yet to be annouced but you can count on Client picking the very best of new talent.EY will be there so come join us and celebrate a very unique UK band who have done things their own way and survived to tell the tale.Snap up your tickets via this link.Coming tomorrow: we hand over EY to...Pop Idol nonsense that most of us dread.Simply click on the image to watch the video in full and spread the word.We need music like this.Download Marsheaux's League intro from EY Hoxton!With the venue full and still buzzing from previous electro vibes, a much calmer Orac and many others moved closer to the stage around 10pm to witness a little bit of analogue pop history as Marsheaux took to the stage for their UK live debut.To kick off their set, the girls had spent a fair number of hours in the blazing heat of Athens putting together a Human League melody that would ultimately lead into 'Peek A Boo' killer track 'Hanging On' .Some exclusive Marsheaux vinyl 'Ghost' news will follow shortly plus details about the very first release on the new EY label...Are there any new electro bands that you think we should be covering here on EY?Should we be praising Brasillian electro act CSS and Sweden's Robyn?Keep an eye on this page for the Marsheaux Human League mix that the girls played at our EY event at Hoxton in October!Dare gig at Hammersmith.As regular readers of Worrapolava, we were thinking of approaching them to write a review for us whilst we try and cope with the backlog and they have very kindly agreed to let us steal their article.We are very happy to present it here in full with some previously unseen shots from top EY photographer Richard Price plus an iconic shot from Dave Knight...See things you thought you'd never ever see...The League have been going in various formats for 30 years and in recognition of the feat, the breakthrough album Dare!That's a lot of time passed if you were a spotty 12 year old like me when it became the album of a generation.And it sounds just as fresh, glossy and glamorous as ever.The Apollo was packed to the rafters and as the opening handclaps of The Things That Dreams Are Made Of began, the place went into uproar.Everyone danced like Jo and Susanne: dancing babies with hands flailing in the air.The image of Phil and the two girls either side is an iconic image and the set behind projected equally iconic images illustrating the clinical lyrics of Dare!.It's sequenced pop was perfectly suited to a massive hall.The climax of the first half, the 'button', was Don't You Want Me; the last track on the album.Put out as a single in time for Christmas 1981, it was not a popular choice as far as the band were concerned who thought three hit singles were more than enough.Jo Catherall said later in interviews.Smiles and drinks aloft, especially when Susanne stepped up to sing her 'reply'.And where there used to be some shops!And where there used to be some shops!The rest of the Hysteria was ignored (no Life On Your Own or Louise, slight boo) but Mirror Man sounded lush, Human simply lovely and (Keep Feeling) Fascination as fresh as ever.The encore was Oakey's solo effort Together in Electric Dreams, now firmly entrenched in the Leagues canon.It was a truly special event, as equal in affection and warmth as Marc Almond's 50th birthday concert in July this year.And, of course, without the girls it wouldn't be The Human League.Take time to see the wonders of Worropolava via this link.To read Ole's excellent tour notes, simply hit on the image opposite.Back in October, Marsheaux opened up their debut UK live performance with a special mix melody of Human League classics.When the new EY newspage launches (hopefully) tomorrow, you'll be able to download this mix completely free!!After an amazing seven days in which EY was invited along to Mesh and Super Jupiter, we still managed to slip in a triumphant return to London from NY's Interpol at a sold out Alexandra Palace (which featured in the 2006 Dr Who eppy 'The Idiot's Lantern').Another sold out gig that we were kindly invited to was the big one for the Human League at Hammersmith and it's probably one of the best League gigs we've ever seen.We will have more thoughts on that plus Mesh later this week just as soon as we are fully recovered from all the wine excitement...I've lost count of the number of Human League gigs I've seen but yet again this was something special.To the best of my knowlege I've never heard 'Do or Die' and 'I am the Law' live before and these were the higlights of the first half of the show.Hard Times' before a singalong greatest hits section opening with the Lebanon, finally closing with an encore of 'Being Bolied' (the song that got me hooked on electronic music all those years ago and one I'll never ever tire of hearing) and 'Together in Electric Dreams.My mate Liam wasn't even born when 'Dare' was released but is now a convert to real music.Was great meeting all the 'massive' again and apart from a poor security incident with Susan and a drunken fan at the end was superb from start to finish.Cassette Electrik were great also, and ended up buying yet another CD of their album for a friend!!You Know Me Better' is masterclass pop, beautifully enticing, gorgeously produced and has some of the best female vocals
ever recorded for an electro stomper.We've loved it since day one.It makes you tap your fingers and in your head you
see yourself playing these cunning notes on a synth.Maddy at her most brilliant.Monday morning faced with a week at bleeding work.This is the power
of pure electropop made straight from the heart.Annie Lennox and her 'Touch'
era back in 1983.These are tracks that you'll come back to for many, many months
to come and we love Roisin for it.You Know Me Better' on 'Later
With Jools Holland'.Human League, Heaven 17, Ladytron, Marsheaux, Necroluxe, Electrobelle, Cassette Electrik and Northern Kind.Since receiving the invite, EY had been checking the three available
tracks on Super Jupiter's myspace page.Man of Mystery' but more on that
particular gem in just a bit.The Water Rats is a charming venue with a lot of character and like
the Oakford, it is close to a major train station.This is real geek chic and two tracks in, EY track of the week 'Man
of Mystery' is performed and I have a big grin on my face.As a band, they
are very tight musically.Sparks in Super Jupiter
and this is a very good thang.Man of Mystery' and 'You Know' are the current
tracks featured on myspace.Play them several times and we know
that most of you will love them.UNDO_EY' compilation which is due for release in the early
part of 2008.Sulley whilst the tune itself is a darn fine lesson in pure
analogue pop.Human League gig in Stoke next
Monday.Simply send us your details here.We are away for three days (Interpol and League gigs coming up for
EY) but keep your 'Dare' concert reviews and snaps coming.OUR LOVE TO ADMIRE

Human League fans in general tend to think that all HL's songs were greatest hits, and therefore all deserve to be on an album of the same name (hence the four).Human League for a couple of years now and still love it!All the best songs from the Human League are included here.But I do feel that 'Heart Like A Wheel (1990)' and 'One Man In My Heart (1995)' are missing from this great...The beat of each song just makes me want to get up and dance.Most underrated guitar player in rock history...What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing Items Like This?This offer applies only to Amazon.Is there any other feedback you would like to provide?Your comments can help make our site better for everyone.Track your recent orders.You have no recently viewed items or searches.After viewing product detail pages or search results, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in.Look to the right column to find helpful suggestions for your shopping session.Listen to Human League now.Best Program TV Lifetimes!Cable or Satellite TV services?Free Package Unlimited Downloads! |
