Silicon Teens



Mute Records founder Daniel Miller had a fun idea... He had already made a synth/post punk masterpiece as The Normal with "Warm Leatherette", and he wanted to do something less dark and more fun. So he "put together" a fictitious group of synthos called Silicon Teens. ST recorded and released "Music For Parties" in 1980. This contains covers of 50s and 60s hits and a couple of originals played with synth and drum machines. Cheesy, light synth pop...

Do you already have it?

Well here it is..

Thanks for sharing this great album! I've been looking all over for a replacement for my (sadly, worn out) cassette tape copy.
