A lot of people think that New Musik had just the one hit with "Living By Numbers", but they actually had three top 40 hits, "Sanctuary" and my record of the year "This World of Water".
Like many people, the only New Musik record I knew for many years was "Living By Numbers", which is a good record itself but on discovering they had other records I decided to listen to them and found this to be the best by far.
This was early days for the electronic sound that almost defined the 80s and New Musik were very much pioneers of that and it's a shame really they aren't as well remember as acts like Gary Numan, OMD, Ultravox etc,
What probably does it for me on this record is the squeaky electronic backing vocals on the chorus, you just can't beat it.
