“We made the record in separate studios around the world,” says Score. So shooting the video for “Space Age Love Song” also marked the true reunion for the foursome. Unlike during the new-wave era, however, these days band members don’t have to all be in the same studio to make a record. “And it was far beyond what any other new-wave band could do.” And if you don’t believe us, just ask Mike Score: “I knew when I wrote ‘Space Age Love Song,’ it was perfect,” he says.
that’s still essential ear candy from the greed-is-good decade. So it’s not surprising that the quartet already has a new clip from the new album, for the new “Space Age Love Song,” a 1982 top-30 smash in the U.S. Given that A Flock Of Seagulls had two members who were hairdressers with a taste for the theatrical (and, kids, this is the early ’80s we’re talking about), videos played a big part of the band’s success in the U.S. The 12-track LP features A Flock Of Seagulls symphonically redoing all the hits-”I Ran (So Far Away),” “Space Age Love Song,” “Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You),” “Telecommunication,” “Nightmares,” “Transfer Affection”-plus other fan faves, primarily from 1982’s self-titled debut and the following year’s Listen. With Ascension (out June 29), Reynolds, Score brothers Mike (vocals, keyboards) and Ali (drums) and bassist Frank Maudsley have gotten the original band back together-with a little help from the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
And British new-wave outfit A Flock Of Seagulls released The Story Of A Young Heart, which-following 22-year-old guitarist Paul Reynolds leaving the group after it hit record stores-has turned out to be the last LP by the band’s original lineup. Apple dramatically introduced the Macintosh computer to the world with an Orwellian commercial directed by Ridley Scott, hot off his success with Blade Runner. 46-year-old Jack Nicholson won his second Oscar, for Terms Of Endearment. The Soviet army is on alert after President Reagan joked that we’re gonna begin bombing them in five minutes. The Donald, now a father for the third time, has finally seen Trump Tower up, running and open for business, and he’s in the middle of rebuilding the skating rink in Central Park.
