New Wave Outpost Forum

Out in May on Intuition Records is Neon's "Memories" CD. Neon was one of the most active bands in 80's Italian new wave time, marking Italian rock history. The band, which was born first as a duo at the end of the 70's in Florence's underground culture, soon stood out for its Kraftwerk and new wave like synths. In 1980, the band got off to an electronic start with the single "Information of death", and later, through several line up changes, made a mix of electro sounds, obscure atmospheres and pop melodies which took shapes in later works like "Tapes of darkness" (1981), "Obsession" (1981), "My blues is you" (1983), "Dark Age" (1984). On "Memories" Intuition presents the best of Neon 1980-1986 including such highlights as Isolation", "Information of Death", "Dark Age", "Last Chance" and many more. Also included is the original "Isolation" video clip. More info on www.myspace.com/intuitionrecords

There are over a dozen different bands with the name Neon. Is there a tracklist for this CD? I am looking for a song called "If I Were A King" by a Neon from '84.
