Recientemente, se ha clausurado uno de los locales más icónicos, transgresores y longevos de la noche madrileña: el bar GRIS. Abierto hace más de cuatro décadas y comandado por Pablo Rodríguez González, el GRIS era un lugar de tolerancia y diversidad, pero también de sonidos arriesgados, desde el techno pop hasta el post punk, pasando por los sonidos industriales. Y se merece un homenaje, en el que repasaremos su historia, a través de esos hits que sonaron tanto en su pista de baile, como en su inolvidable pantalla. Desfilaran en este repaso THE NEON JUDGEMENT, ZOMBIES, LOS COYOTES, DIVINE, SPANDAU BALLET, ULTRAVOX, HUMAN LEAGUE, TALK TALK, DANZA INVISIBLE, OVIFORMIA SCI, KRAFTWERK, TUBEWAY ARMY, TEARS FOR FEARS, SIMPLE MINDS, ANNE CLARK, DAF, DEPECHE MODE, FAD GADGET, AVIADOR DRO, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, X MAL DEUTSCHLAND, PSYCHEDELIC FURS, THE CULT, SISTERS OF MERCY, GABINETE CALIGARI, ALPHAVILLE, MIDNIGHT OIL, INXS, RHEINGOLD, LIO, LES RITA MITSOUKO, WHEN IN ROME, THEN JERICHO, INVISIBLE LIMITS, FRONT 242, BETTY TROUPE, PULP, KLAUS NOMI y VISAGE.

Mark Webber has been with Pulp for so long that his story and the group’s are almost the same thing. He started out as a teenager in Chesterfield with a fanzine called Cosmic Pig, booked Pulp at the local Conservative Club in 1986, became their tour manager with his dad’s old briefcase, and eventually found himself on stage with a Stylophone. Jason Barnard takes him through it all: the years of playing to twenty people outside Sheffield, the last minute Glastonbury headline, the Brit Awards controversy, recording Different Class,This Is Hardcore, Scott Walker producing We Love Life, and the chilly end in Rotherham in December 2002. Then there’s the return. The 2023 shows that were supposed to be just fourteen nights, More recorded in three weeks on a tight budget, and Mark’s daughter finally getting to see him play. Recorded live at The CAT Club on 23 October 2025. The audio is recovered and a bit muddy, but worth the effort.

Cabaret Voltaire are no one thing. Depending on which corner of the internet you found us from, you might know them as the caustic Sheffield noise act who preceded post-punk, the sinister electro-industrial outfit with a penchant for evangelical samples and anti-fascist agitprop, or the dancefloor-adjacent act who fetched up on Factory's Belgian satellite label and made something close to club music. You're all correct.This week, we have a guide. Phil Eaglesham — P6, former front person of Stretchheads and De Salvo, current singer in OMO, musical walking tour operator, man of broad and alarming musical learnings — is here to help us navigate one of the most complex and wilfully uncommercial bands to come out of the UK, via their transitional compilation Eight Crepuscule Tracks.We trace the band's origins in a Sheffield attic in 1973, chart their debts to dub, Black American music, and the sci-fi soundscapes that shaped a generation of working-class ears, and make the case that Cabaret Voltaire — despite their apparent difficulty — were one of the most industrious and fundamentally political bands of their era. We also get into their time at Western Works Studio, which functioned less like a recording facility and more like the gravitational centre of an entire Sheffield scene; their complicated relationship with Rough Trade; and their connections to Joy Division, Lydia Lunch, Clock DVA, and the bands that would become the Human League and ABC.Along the way, Phil brings original artefacts including a signed 1979 TG/Cab Vol/Rema Rema poster from Tottenham Court Road, and the original 12-inches the album is built from. We also ask what would have happened to Cabaret Voltaire without punk — and conclude they'd likely have ended up an academic footnote rather than a foundational text.

A trilha sonora internacional de Barriga de Aluguel talvez seja uma das mais curiosas e contraditórias da história das novelas brasileiras. Lançado no auge do enorme sucesso da trama de Glória Perez, o disco apostou em dance music, house, freestyle, synth-pop e hits internacionais que traduziam perfeitamente o começo dos anos 90. Enquanto a trilha nacional falava direto com a emoção do público brasileiro, a internacional seguiu outro caminho: mais urbana, sofisticada e conectada ao som das pistas de dança daquele período. Neste vídeo, revisitamos essa raridade lançada pela Som Livre, analisando capa, contracapa, repertório, contexto histórico e comentando faixa a faixa músicas de artistas como Ice MC, Soul II Soul, Human League, Black Box, Air Supply, Pretenders, Dionne Warwick e muitos outros. Também falamos dos bastidores curiosos do disco, incluindo artistas brasileiros escondidos sob pseudônimos internacionais, estratégias comuns das coletâneas da época e o motivo dessa trilha ainda dividir opiniões entre fãs até hoje. Foi uma trilha injustiçada? Moderna demais para a novela? Ou apenas diferente do que o público esperava?Se você gosta de novelas clássicas, trilhas sonoras, discos de vinil, nostalgia televisiva e histórias da música, este episódio é para você.Deixe nos comentários: você teve esse LP? Lembra dessas músicas na novela? Gostava dessa trilha ou prefere a nacional?

Daniel Dylan Wray on his anticipated first book, Groovy, Laidback & Nasty, the first ever authoritative history of Sheffield music (out today!).Exhaustively researched and spanning almost seven decades, Groovy, Laidback and Nasty features over 150 new interviews with the likes of Richard Hawley, Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Rebecca Lucy Taylor (Self Esteem), The Human League, ABC and Cabaret Voltaire – along with countless others.The book also delves deep into many of Sheffield's far-reaching cultural roots; from Peter Stringfellow's wild years as a club promoter in the 1960s to Toddla T's teenage breakthrough in the late 2000s, via Warp records, FON and seminal nightclubs such as Jive Turkey, Niche and Gatecrasher, as well as the noughties' so-called ‘New Yorkshire' movement, a controversial rave-meets-religion movement turned cult, and a whole host of stories spanning worldwide pop stardom through to more underground, DIY and leftfield musical excursions.Daniel Dylan Wray is a music and culture writer who lives in Sheffield. Primarily writing for the Guardian, he has also written for outlets including the BBC, Pitchfork, The Independent, The Times, New Statesman, Uncut, The Quietus and countless others.

This episode is a little different. It's still about music, but from a very particular perspective. My guest is author Daniel Rachel. He's written some fantastic books like Isle of Noise (about UK songwriters) and The Lost Album of The Beatles. His latest release may be his most controversial. It's called This Ain't Rock ‘n' Roll: Pop Music, The Swastika, & The Third Reich. In it, Daniel explores the fascination musicians have had with Nazi imagery, symbolism, and paraphernalia. There are some connections you've probably heard of, like Jimmy Page and Lemmy. But there are others that you might not be aware of, like The Human League and Nick Cave. Daniel and I talk through how the British, especially in the 60's and 70's, used symbols as a way of mocking Nazi-ism. We also talk about a seeming resurgence in the symbolism, particularly through artists like Kanye West.  The book gives facts and tells stories. But, importantly, it lets the readers draw their own conclusions. It was a fascinating read, especially if you like music & history. I recommend picking it up. It's available from Akashic Books at https://www.akashicbooks.com/catalog/this-aint-rock-n-roll-pop-music-the-swastika-and-the-third-reich/ Follow Daniel @danielrachelauthor on Instagram.

Au début des années 80, la new wave anglaise s'inspire beaucoup moins des groupes punks qu'ils ont été au départ, que des boîtes à rythme et synthés des artistes Allemands des années 70. Kraftwerk, évidemment, la référence absolue pour Human League, Depeche Mode, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark ou encore Soft Cell.Mais il n'y a pas que Kraftwerk en Allemagne, on ne tarde pas en effet à découvrir des Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, Grauzone, Einstürzende Neubauten… des noms aussi impossibles à prononcer que leur musique l'est, à écouter. Quoique certains sont plus accessibles comme Trio, Rheingold ou Propaganda.Ceux-ci sont de Düsseldorf, une région de bassins industriels qui fait furieusement penser aux Midlands britanniques, ce n'est pas un hasard. Leur idée est claire : allier la rigueur et la froideur mécanique allemande aux mélodies de la pop internationale. Les gars, ils veulent conquérir l'Europe.À Londres, un journaliste musical du nom de Paul Morley, un agitateur d'idées, travaille avec un nouveau label au nom étrange : ZTT Records, Zang Tumb Tuum. Un label lancé par Trevor Horn et sa compagne, Jill Sinclair.Ils viennent justement de triompher avec ABC et la métamorphose de Yes. Trevor Horn des Buggles est devenu le producteur dont tout le monde parle, l'homme capable de transformer une bonne partition en événement mondial. Il vient de racheter un studio construit dans une église, où ont été enregistrés des petits trucs comme We will rock you ou Stairway to heaven et qu'il transforme en QG sonore pour ZTT. C'est son laboratoire personnel, avec ses machines dernier cri, consoles immenses, ingénieurs du son pointus, un endroit où il peut inventer l'avenir car dans les années 80, il n'y a que ça qui marche.Alors on les imagine dans un pub de Notting Hill, juste à côté du studio : Paul Morley lui parle de Propaganda, Horn écoute car ce qu'il entend lui plaît immédiatement, la discipline allemande, des voix singulières, une esthétique forte et donc, un potentiel immense. Propaganda signe chez ZTT et déménage à Londres pour travailler au plus près de cette nouvelle usine à rêves.Les séances sont longues, exigeantes, il leur arrive même d'être un peu tendues car Horn pousse tout au plus loin : les arrangements, les textures de son, la dramaturgie. Le premier essai, Dr. Mabuse, est déjà une réussite : une musique cinématographique, menaçante, spectaculaire. Et puis vient le single Duel, plus mélodique, plus accessible, mais tout aussi travaillé : c'est le carton.Ce qui se joue alors dépasse largement un nouveau succès du label de Trevor Horn : la New Wave n'a plus de frontières. Les idées circulent désormais dans les deux sens entre Düsseldorf, Sheffield, Londres, et même Bruxelles. Avec Paul Morley et deux musiciens de génie, Horn va même créer son propre groupe, atypique, The Art of Noise, ils sont d'ailleurs tous très présents, sur ce titre de Propaganda qu'on entend toujours aussi souvent à la radio, plus de quarante ans après.

On a tous une image qui nous vient en tête quand on parle des années 80. C'est vrai. Il faut dire que cette décennie n'a manqué ni d'excès, ni de clichés. Le brushing de Bonnie Tyler et des Duran Duran, les fringues de Prince et de Madonna, les biceps de Stallone et Schwarzie, et les synthés de Human League et Soft Cell.Ainsi en avril 1982, le premier et énorme tube de ces derniers vaut à la New Wave d'occuper toute la place au point de résumer ce très large mouvement à cet unique instrument qu'est le synthétiseur. Et le nouveau média qu'est le vidéoclip impose leur image proprette avec jolies filles et mecs sexy à la pose bien étudiée.Alors qui est cette fille qui débarque de nulle part avec un morceau dont le riff de guitare coupe comme une tronçonneuse de bûcheron canadien ? C'est vrai, Joan Jett, avec son look de rockeuse, sa voix râpeuse et son accent sale, n'a rien du stéréotype féminin du moment. En regardant son vidéoclip, le message est clair : elle ne cherche pas à plaire, ni tout simplement, à paraître.Ainsi dans le métier, personne n'a voulu d'elle. Car, et ça va étonner tout le monde, elle ne déboule pas de nulle part avec son hymne. Et oui, à 23 ans, cette New Yorkaise a déjà bien roulé sa bosse de rockeuse : au cours des années 70, elle faisait en effet partie d'un groupe hard rock 100% fille nommé les Runaways.Les Runaways, c'est plus des pochettes de 33 Tours, qui traînaient dans les bacs des disquaires que des disques qu'on a écouté. Il est vrai que le visuel laissait présager le produit préfabriqué, si vous voyez ce que je veux dire. Joan n'avait que 17 ans quand le premier album des Runaways est sorti, le groupe n'a pas fait long feu, on ne les a pas vraiment prises au sérieux. Un groupe rock 100% féminin, ça ne pouvait pas exister, c'est un truc de mecs.Un groupe masculin avec une chanteuse, comme Blondie, avec une Debbie Harry, belle à hurler, et quelques tubes par album, oui, ça, les firmes de disques en veulent bien.Alors, quand les Runaways disparaissent en 1979 et que Joan Jett, la guitariste chanteuse, trouve un gars qui croit en elle pour la produire, et ben, ils restent tous les deux avec leurs bandes de studio sur les bras. 23 refus, vous le croyez, ça. Nous sommes alors en 1981, Kenny Laguna, c'est son nom, même si vous ne le retenez pas, qu'il soit cité, il le mérite, car sans lui, vous n'auriez jamais entendu I love rock'n'roll, et ben, il ne se démonte pas, le gars. Puisqu'ils ne veulent pas de notre disque, on va créer notre label et le vendre nous-mêmes après les concerts. Car il y a quand même des gars pour embaucher l'ancienne Runaways, heureusement.Alors, à force de jouer et convaincre, une maison de distribution offre de placer le disque partout et d'aller frapper à la porte de la toute jeune chaîne de télé MTV avec un clip en noir et blanc. Le public, c'est-à-dire nous, allons découvrir cette fille de cuir traversant une rue américaine qui n'a rien de glamour, et on va la suivre dans un bar à vieux néons qui appartient encore à la décennie précédente. C'est sale, brut, punk, on les avait presque déjà oubliés. Joan Jett a les traits durs d'une fille qui a déjà dormi dans un van et cassé des cordes de guitare. Elle n'a pas attendu qu'on lui ouvre la porte, elle a apporté la sienne et on la suit toujours aussi volontiers quatre décennies plus tard à chaque fois que la chanson démarre, comme ceci.

Richard Barbieri in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://richardbarbieri.bandcamp.com/ ‘Hauntings' is Richard Barbieri's first studio album since 2021's ‘Under A Spell' and deepens the pensive, dark instrumental aesthetic of its predecessor. A diverse collection of immersive sound worlds, both dark and uplifting in equal measure, ‘Hauntings' is influenced by a nostalgia for the past and future, and for things that didn't happen yet still manage to haunt the mind and soul. What is real and what is simulation?   Richard Barbieri remains one of contemporary music's most distinctive voices. Emerging as a key architect of the late '70s/'80s synthesiser revolution with David Sylvian's art-rock ensemble Japan, his visionary synthesiser programming expanded the horizons of electronic music and left a lasting mark on artists from The Human League and Duran Duran to Gary Numan and Talk Talk. His subsequent and ongoing tenure with Steven Wilson's legendary progressive outfit Porcupine Tree across albums such as In Absentia (2002), Fear Of A Blank Planet (2007) and, most recently, Closure/Continuation (2022) further affirmed his status as one of the most intuitive and unique musicians of his generation.   The album finds Barbieri at the height of his powers, his deft keyboard and sonic architecture conjuring a shadowy, creeping Lovecraftian atmosphere. The music wanders through the streets of a gloomy lamp-lit Victorian London and drifts into grain-speckled snapshots of Belle Époque Paris. These journeys into the past are contrasted with nihilistic but euphoric forays into the future, “Traveler” and “A New Simulation” bristling with the itchy modern anxiety that often runs through his best work.   Contrasting the sound designs and electronics of Barbieri, the album features performances from renowned musicians Morgan Agren (drums and percussion), Percy Jones (bass guitar) and Luca Calabrese (trumpet).

With a look that is part Elizabethan Clown, part Marie Antoinette, part cast of Saltburn, and songs that mash up everything from Lady Gaga to Depeche Mode to Marina to Goldfrapp to The Human League their debut album is one of the most perfect examples of modern pop that you'll be likely to hear this year... maybe any year.

Andre and Kevin decided to have a music party the old fashioned way: exchanging music albums and talking about them. What is this, 1994?! Sort of, as they each give each other an album that they think the other might like or at least find interesting, then the albums get listened to extensively, and then we talk about them. Sounds good, right? Anti-Flag and The Human League head up this first installment of what is sure to be many.

In this REWIND episode Gary Mansfield talks to sound artist Martyn Ware (@martynware), music producer and founding member of both Human League & Heaven 17. Martyn co-curated ReAnimate, an exhibition of sound spread over several rooms of the National Portrait Gallery where several artists were invited to create sound portraits, as part of the Late Shift Extra events. For The National Trust's One and All project Martyn created What Does the Sea Say?, an interactive soundscape housed within a typical British beach hut. Although recordings were made by the sea, this work travelled around the UK. Martyn's latest creation is an urban soundscape is entitled; Everything Old is New Again which accompanied the visual experience of the Forest of Imagination in Bath during the summer of 2019, where statements made by the old were read aloud by the young and vice versa (a link for which is found below).https://soundcloud.com/martynware/everything-old-is-new-again-stereo-binaural For more information of Martyn's sound installations, past and present visit; www.illustriouscompany.co.uk Martyn is touring throughout 2019 with Heaven 17 To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofarts For full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.co.ukEmail: ministryofartsorg@gmail.comSocial Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.
