Original Record of the Year: New Musik - This World Of Water
1980 was a pretty strong year for chart music and there was tough competition for the record of the year but I went for an obscure New Musik record. I said they were early pioneers of synth pop but not as well remembered as the likes of Gary Numan, Ultravox and OMD.
Is it good enough to still be the record of the year though?
I'd say so. We're in a time when synth pop was still in its infancy which made the records more varied and interesting. There was no formula to follow yet and this record certainly sounds different to your formulaic synth pop record of say 1984.
