Hello
coincidentally in recent months (and last night) I have been listening on you tube and purchasing on iTunes Be Bop deluxe songs.....I noticed in todays wayside email 'modern music 2 cds'
Not easy to find these days...…. I used to see them on the shelves when I was a in my teens and tweens ( late 70's and 1980's ) I didn't know who they were and never heard their music - I should have just bought the one with the TV set heads just for the album cover but didn't - oh well.
Here's my story I was in a choir 1986 (college) - I tried to show the whole class (play a cassette of the music of Univers Zero (dense from Ceux du Dehors) which was quickly 'Dismissed' I guess they got the frightsss'
One of my acquaintances in the choir showed an interest and wanted to hear more so I invited him over for a 'listening session' I showed him Univers Zeros La Faulx
as well as the rest of the Heresie album …….. he liked it (or so he said - I don't think he went out and bought it...)
He Told me to get Be Bop Deluxe Live in the air age - which I found at a used record show ( black and white vinyl ) Amazing album!!!!
I was then and still now am amazed at what a great band this is - Although I'm very partial to their progressive/jazz/rock side - the musicianship and songwriting are serious!! you've got hear this stuff to believe it …… I can't say exactly what my fav songs are
(most of this music I would have been very into in my preteen and teenage years...…..still I was very into 'music' I first got into UZ at age 16 -1982 so....)
Its refreshing to hear now...………….surprised to see it for sale on wayside
