Ebn Ozn

The oddly named new wave duo EBN-OZN had one novelty hit, “AEIOU Sometimes Con” in 1983, and lapsed into obscurity. Featuring Ned “EBN” Liben (synthesizer) and Robert “OZN” Rosen (body organ, vocals), EBN-OZN was in fact an eclectic take action that noticed no stylistic limitations, venturing into synth pop, funk, and salsa with giddy excitement. EBN-OZN was created in NY in the first ’80s. Rosen was launched to Liben by an acquaintance of his sweetheart. Liben and Rosen had been actually raised just a few blocks in one another, however they by no means met. Followers of punk rock and roll and hip-hop, both began hanging out in night clubs with each other, absorbing various types of dance music from NY, Puerto Rico, and European countries. In 1984, EBN-OZN released their just LP, Sense Cavalier, on Elektra Information. The solitary “AEIOU Occasionally Y” became a staple on contemporary rock stations. Nevertheless, Liben and Rosen had been by no means heard from once again from then on, at least not really together. Liben began dealing with Scritti Politti while Rosen produced the home music clothing DaDa NaDa for his personal label One Tone of voice Records. Rosen ultimately left the rock and roll business, worked like a script analyst for Oscar-winning movie director Oliver Rock, and began composing screenplays. Liben passed on from a coronary attack in 1998.
