Anyone have any info on this band? Recently discovered them & I have an excellent extended mix single of "Saturday in Silecia", and I like it alot, total synthpop hit. Was wondering if they had a full length lp, and is it worth picking up, is it OOP/etc?
Thanks gang.[:D]

I really like their first album as a great signature period piece. After awhile, it gets annoying and cloyingly over-the-top synthpop. You'll love 'em. Try these obscure sites:

Cold War Nightlife comes highly recommended and is a great starting place. To The Goddess Electricity is certainly worth a listen as well.

One of the most underrated bands of the early eighties. I totally love these guys. Tracy Howe the lead singer is super cool. They did a great album in the late 90's called "To The Goddess Electricty" which sounds excellent. "Cold War Night Life" is still their best and is an 80's classic.

agree with Cold War Night Life and Goddess Electricity releases.
There are some cool vintage videos of RY on youtube
