New Musik - And

Bonus track originally released on the cassette version of the 1981 album Anywhere. This version taken from the Japan CD version of From A To B from 2001.
The second half instrumental is an atmospheric soundscape typical of Tony Mansfield's sound.
With constant observation day by day
Accounting all the things you see you say
When you say something seemingly absurd
You're just painting pictures turning round the words
Because there's nobody there
Oh no there's nobody there
Because there nobody there
Oh
Oh
Action speaks much louder every time
One more rumour one more step we climb
When you change the phrase to complicate the fact
When all along you're writing to attract
Because there's nobody there
Oh no there's nobody there
Because there nobody there
Oh
Oh
And you compile the scandals as you go
The slightest alteration goes to show
A compromise of stories you compose
When all in all it's just a line you chose
Because there's nobody there
Oh no there's nobody there
Because there nobody there
Oh
Oh

This band never got the recognition a nother obscure band that disappeared for me loved this band new muzik or music

[@colinbell9439]

A great tune! And great the way it changes then returns ! Tony and the guys play well! The ending is magic! 🎸🎹🥁

[@thomasgraham5840]

That instrumental at the end is just so magical.

Just a correction to your introductory notes: This track was included on the expanded Japanese CD edition of From A To B from 2001, not Anywhere - at least, according to the New Musik listings on Discogs, which are usually correct, as they are supplied by fans who actually own the items they're listing. It's not completely faultless, but I usually find their database 99.99% reliable. You might like to amend your intro, in case anybody looking for this track can find it. I know I had the UK cassette release of Anywhere which included this track (confusing, isn't it!!), but I think it's lost - so now I'm going to have to find a copy of the Japanese 2001 CD of From A To B, to keep my collection of New Musik's stuff complete! Anyway... thanks for uploading this rare and hard-to-find track - the only one! And, Hey!! What a great band New Musik were, and such a shame that they only managed 3 albums. What chance of a reunion and more recordings? Their sound was unique, and I'm sure there was a lot of unreleased material that would be worth checking out. Were there no live recordings? Come on, guys - how about it?

[@geoffolehane]

Darn. I thought I had everything by them. My LP and CD of this album do not include this song. Blast! Love the 80's.

Also on tape was "under attack " Also didn't knew.

also "warp"( ilo edit) better as orginal. greetimgs from holland

Yeppppp, NEW MUSIK's musik is as addictive as it could be...once you understood their sound, understood their message, their visions on society, on the future, mixed with these beautiful and unique and 'shivers down my spine' synthesizer-warmnesses, you simply were taken over and you'd never loose this in life.

Brilliant track from mansfield & co.

[@ethanoreilly2002]

I really love this album! I thinks it’s their most cohesive and the ethereal washes of analog synths give it such an introspective quality. I love Tony’s lyrics as well as his production techniques.

[@dirklyssens8936]

Best band in the 80's.

[@michaelzarro8871]

The best,!

[@SivonMusic]

Thanks for posting this rare track. Another beauty from Tony & co. The subject is just as relevant today as it was in 1981 - the good old British Press!

[@eamonfulcher910]

What happened to Tony? I'm sure he has loads of tracks recorded in his own studio...please Tony release them. We need to hear more, we only have 2 albums and there is no other band that comes close to you.

[@ethanoreilly2002]

Don’t forget Warp!

Wow! Didn't know this existed

[@NickSmith-ll3si]

I've known this song since forever ... I'm so glad I got the cassette versions of their albums back in the day 😃

[@highspacefox]

i have been HUNTING (lol) for months, and this is first time i have heard this! thank so much for the upload!

[@hubertvancalenbergh9022]

How did they get that vocal sound? I don't think it's a vocoder.

[@thomasgraham5840]

1. Reverse track 2. Apply echo 3. Reverse track again, this time with echo applied

[@Pablovo66]

Really love this song...The ending has such a nice feel...

[@ronaldoes264]

Que hermosa canción!! A ratos percibo la influencia de esta canción en "Emotion in Motion" de Naked Eyes.

[@glynpalmer260]

Could someone set up a fan club or a base . Somebody must be in the know to find . What Tony mansfieldd or clive gates is doing i have been a fan since 1980 so I would like to know what's happening in therei lifes thanks from a avid fan 😎

Who the hell wants to be on blasted Face-Book heap a shite. Thats why bands like New Musik were invented to get way away from all that material stuff.

[@ullibaumgarten6212]

Wahnsinn!!! Ich kannte dieses Lied überhaupt nicht. Ein weiteres Juwel dieser Band. New Musik waren und sind für mich DIE New Wave-Band schlechthin. Fantastisch.

[@raijmondvanderijt3708]
