New Musik created 3 albums of melodic, accessible, electronic-oriented pop music in the early 80's. A short career compared to some, though longer than many. Modest chart success was achieved.

Unremarkable perhaps, except for the "musik". Front-man Tony Mansfield galvanised a sound that lives on to this day, as fresh and enjoyable as the very first listen.

Information about New Musik is pretty scarce, the most notable exception being Jonas Warstad's excellent Tony Mansfield site. There are also couple of good discussion groups on yahoo for New Musik and Tony Mansfield. This site primarily grew out of a year-long review of each and every New Musik track which took place on the New Musik yahoo group. However, thanks to contributions from fellow fans, it has grown significantly since then.

Hopefully it will bring back a few memories for fans, and continue to act as a collecting point for material on the band. Hence I'd welcome feedback, pics, articles, info etc (special thanks to Richard M and Steve Masson for contributions).
