Although I didnt care much for the historical importance of the station itself, I liked the way the documentary was put together -
the interplay between musical clips and interviews works quite well.
Its quite clear thought that the term "new wave" in the USA doesnt quite cover the same ground in comparison with the UK perspective.
For some bands mentioned in the documentary its clearly not appropriate context at all.
I dont know.....from my perspective strictly only when listening to the music of the era, typical new wave sound
is really almost always about the bass - the way its played - quite different to a traditional rock setting.
Of course, the lead guitar could be an important factor as well, as the drumming (Warren Canns "new wave drumming term".....as often mentioned by himsef",
but it would not be the same without "those bass lines".....("My Spine Is The Bassline"......
)
