Well welcome both of you to our little space on the internet.
Glad ya'll came on board...take a good look around. We have fans, djs, producers and older statesmen of New Wave. You will also find New Wave music you've heard in the past and a lot you've never heard before. Don't be afraid (if you don't have the stomach for it, then be afraid, lol) to throw in your 2 cents, pounds or what have you, into the topics. Well I hope you'll enjoy your time here!

Welcome roefke!
Belgium. There are a few bands from Belgium which I really enjoted. The Names, Chainsaw and Polyphonic Size, especially. Did you ever get a chance to see any of these bands live?

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

for chainsaw i was a bit to young, they stopped in 78 ( i'm from '65 ), but they left a few terrible good singles.
the names i never saw, and if my memory is good i think i saw polyphonic somewhere on a small festival, but for some reason i did not spend much attention to it.
It is true that here in belgium was a good new wave scene in the eighties, and still there is good music scene.

[club80]

Of course, Belgium had Telex and Plastic Bertrand too.

Polyphonic Size must have been great to see. As for Chainsaw, I have the 4 song EP, See Saw. I can't imagine that it is in print so if anyone wants it, I could share.

I think you'll like it here, roefke. There are some people here whose knowledge and collections are truly unbelievable.

[roefke]

you are lucky one,if you have the chainsaw ep, it is a real collector item, people would kill for it [:)]. I have it on compilation (kind of bootleg).
and yeah, we also had plastic bertrand, think belgium will always be remembered for that, what a shame [:I][:D]

something brand new from belgium :stijn, for who likes "the neon judgment" synths:
