Achilles Dent: New Wave 2024

Album #15
New Wave 2024
What do I call New Wave?
A certain range of BPM, lots of snares, distinctly British-sounding music
that gives you the impression that a 1982 band first managed to get a hold of a synthesizer.
As it turns out, I have made a lot of that. Let there be eighties forever.
New Wave music was made by Duran Duran, New Order, Kajagoogoo, Ultravox, even David Bowie
and to mention a Hungarian band, Elsô Emelet
Rear View could just be handed out to Duran Duran to start performing it as if it were their own.
The voice, and the singing style is Simon LeBon. Another Duran reference in the list is the
"Hungry Like The Volt" (Wolf in their read)
Thy Arrow Plane is total Alphaville.
Rebel is kind of Cureish.
Under Life, Upgraded is basically Erasure.
Devil's Exploited - Ultravox maybe?
Flying Like A Cloud - Morrissey with actual vocals.
Desperate Differences is in the style of Human League.
Her is Camouflage-like.
Think Once - Adam Ant?
Purpose To Life - Yazoo?

Visuals are terrific, however the music is not good, sounds like passed-over 80s British pop to me...
