It was the result of the Punk Explosion with it‘s DIY- and Independent-Attitude. And also Synthesizers getting cheaper and affordable in the End of the 70s.
Working with limited resources can be liberating and requires creative minds to make something out of it. It helped tremendously that many of the Ultra artists (like those in the UK and US at the time) were art school students pushing avant-garde art forms, feminist ideas, alternative economic & political models. Also, that there wasn't a global communication system like the internet so regional scenes were allowed to grow in greater isolation than today but would influence other scenes either through brief direct contact (band gigs in other countries) or indirect contact (shared recordings and international radio programs).
@@lefkytheshinYou couldn't be more right. Look I'll be honest . There's some actually really good stuff , newer bands creating music in the underground in more recent times. Diode to Linea Aspera and Madeleine Goldstein.and Las Eras. But yeah, they do tend to be more retrospective, well they have big time retrospective influence s, 80's minimal synth to synth punk. But that's what I love about them, and to be honest there's sweet F.A out there in the mainstream music world these days that would give inspiration to true artistic types, art students to whoever.
Man, this makes me want to learn how to do the robot. Once I do, this shit is on endless repeat while my bald and bearded ass robos around the room for hours irritating the shit out of my kids.
My god, this brings back memories! I saw them somewhere early 80s on a tour with 2 other bands; Tent and Sammie America's Mam. I had an album back then but haven't heard it since the lat 80s. Anyone know if any of their recordings made it onto CD?
What happened in the music scene in the early 80s was and still is SOOOO much more interesting to what is happening nowdays. Seriously.
