Nobody ever has, or ever will do it like Mojo! I'm so happy to have been born in time for the greatest DJ of ALL TIME!! Long live The Electrifying MOJO!!
A lot of the early 80s (or 1979) in this case synthpop/New Romanticism was forward thinking and sounding but this is even modern sounding by those standards - boundary breaking and not far behind Kraftwerk in the influence on what happened from the mid-80s onwards when the house and techno took off.
Yeah, Shonda and Funkmassa...they popped to this on The Scene too along with Kraftwerk-Numbers, Egyptian Lover..Cosmic Cars by Cybotron...THOSE were the DAYS! Best thing by Visage though...

Oh yeah, Why didn't I look here earlier? I just saw you posted this on the Electrofying MOJO page on FB. All these years I doubt if I can still find it on vinyl, but imma still loook.
This was big in 80's Chicago at the beginning of the House Music scene. I would mix this with Tanted Dub by Soft Cell then fade into the regular version of Tanted Love. Same bpm, blends great and the break on Tanted Dub being almost inst, it worked out great.
@psyqyq Yup! the Electrifying Mojo exposed the Detroit metro to a wide swath of musical genres. Remember how he would mix B-52's Mesopotamia! I miss those days. WLLZ out of Mt. Clemens ushered in a lot of techno and new wave to Mich as well...
@mta415 i just noticed what i typed, it was WLBS out of Mt. Clemens. 102.7 if I'm not mistaken. WLLZ was "Detroit's new wheels". When I was in H.S. (Cooley) MoJo was at WGPR, I didn't know he had moved until I came home on leave.
@ancientraver19881989 Alrighty then! You live by your definition and we'll live by ours thank you very much. Speaking of "definitions" and us "Bloody Americans" that can't seem to get anything right, why is a Boot and a Bonnet something used to describe the Trunk and the Hood of a car? I guess you "bloody Britons" call boots that go on your feet Trunks and Bonnet's that goes on your head Hoods. Whether you like it or not, over here (esp. in Detroit) its called New Wave. The End.
@mta415 Well as all the records like this were British/European and were never called New Wave you're talking out your arse.PS by your logic if a group of people in say Tokyo started listening to reggae but all called it hiphop would that music be known as hiphop from then on. No it would just show how ignorant and misguided those kids were.
@ancientraver19881989 I don't care what they were/are called in Europe, I live in America. You call it what you want over there and we will call it what we want over here. See how simple and easy that is?!? Apparently you missed the Boot and Bonnet analogy versus Trunk and Hood but that's okay. Have a peaceful day and a better tomorrow.
this isn't New Wave: to anone in the UK new wave is dodgy bands with skinny ties playing boring guitars and a term which noone used seriously after about 1978 - this is New Romantic/Futurist/Synth Pop/New Pop whatever you wanna call it but as a New Romantic myself at about 15 when this was out we'd have been horrified to hear it called New Wave.
Bloody Americans who probably call it that can't get anything right!
Check the 7" single version on YouTube, from Tar in 1979, much better, more futuristic and underground, and Steve Strange has robot vocoder vocals, yes vocals!
Wow! been trying to tell people about this one...I am nearly 40 yrs old and remember this one when DJ Mojo in Detroit, MI played this joint when I was a little pee wee back in the day. Just didnt know the name and tried to sing it to explain. No one knew what the hell I was talking about. You had to dig deep deep in the crates for this one. Great Job, Thanks for posting!
Sounds like Deadmau5/Skrillex. Seriously, it does.

The term 'techno' was used with frequency in the EARLY 80s in Detroit. This song and other songs like it got regular airplay back then.

This is New Romantic, with Futurist leanings. People did not use the term Techno back in the late-seventies/early-eighties.

Oh God! One of my most favourite songs by Visage! Very electronic, very 1980s "dark" and "pessimistic", very futuristic!!!

Well, as for me, I like all of sorts and brands of New Wave, - from 1977 Punk to new romantic, synth-pop, power-pop, gothic/dark wave, etc.
Yes, I can agree with you, that by early 1980s the term "New Wave" had become too general!
