Re-Flex

The Uk new wave band Re-Flex had one nearly forgotten Top 40 smash, 1983’s “The Politics of Dancing,” that became a staple of ’80s compilation CDs in the ’90s. Featuring Baxter (vocals, electric guitar), Paul Fishman (keyboards), Nigel Ross-Scott (bass), and Roland Vaughan Kerridge (drums), Re-Flex had been shamelessly derivative, pillaging from Heaven 17, Gary Numan, and David Bowie in substantial doses. Actually, “The Politics of Dance” could’ve been recognised incorrectly as a Heaven 17 melody. Even so, the group got a knack for crafting radio-friendly hooks, and “the politics of ooo feeling great” range in “The Politics of Dance” sounded amazing in night clubs and on brand-new wave channels. The monitor peaked at amount 24 for the Billboard graphs on November 26, 1983. Nevertheless, the tune wasn’t catchy more than enough for the manufacturers of Footloose; they turned down the listen in favour of Shalamar’s “Dance in the Bed linens.” Re-Flex’s debut record, The Politics of Dance, was also released in 1983; they documented the follow-up, Humanication, in 1985 and split. “The Politics of Dance” was resurrected on ’80s retrospectives in the ’90s, as well as the full-length was also finally released on Compact disc. In 2000, Fishman and ex-Frankie Would go to Hollywood member Peter Gill shaped the experimental clothing London, Ltd., launching About Eight Mins in 2001.
