52 Songs #3: Re-Flex The Politics of Dancing
And now for a REAL change of pace. I ran a record store from 1984-1989 and my musical tastes (and collection of vinyl) was entirely shaped by that experience. Consequently, I have a real fondness for this type of EXTREMELY 80s music. This one-hit wonder band was one of my favorites.
This week: Re-Flex: The Politics of Dancing, released in 1983. I don't I ever got to see them in person (which is quite something, as I saw a LOT of one-hit wonders back them, including Men Without Hats), but my best friend and I fixated on this album and listened to it over and over again. Like the best 80s synthopop, it's got a driving beat, overwrought vocals, and a fantastic hooky chorus. I'd give a a solid 10, because it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.
Info on the band here.
Does anyone have mp3s of Humanication?
Come back next Monday for another of the 52 songs!

Hi Lene,
I too am a product of wonderful '80's music back in the days of records. I loved this song and the music of that era , even the rare and strange stuff. You might also like these rare '80's songs :The Ministy- "Everyday Is Halloween". Tamara & the Scene- "Everybody Dance" ,Dale- "Simon Simon". I listened to these '80's songs & others while sitting and reading comics- Ah, music & comics - a wonderful combination.
