Lullaby (Book Of Love Album)
''Lullaby'' is the second studio album by American synth-pop band Book of Love, released on June 21, 1988, by Sire Records. History New York-based synthpop quartet Book of Love released their follow up record two years after their eponymous debut '' Book Of Love''. Promotional duties and non-stop touring in support of Depeche Mode's Black Celebration Tour had kept Book of Love from entering the studio to lay down ideas for their second record. In a 2009 interview, Ted Ottaviano stated, "It's the classic story. We weren't quite sure where the first album would take us, and it ended up taking us on a ride. But then we had to turn right around and write and record songs for the follow-up. I'm not sure we had enough distance, enough time, to fully grasp what this meant or entailed." In the spring of 1987, the band was finally able to lay down some demos for the next record, writing the new songs between March through August. In late September 1987, the band eventually convened a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The band at the time was inspired by the post-punk scene and specifically acts like "Siouxsie and the Banshees, Killing Joke and Bauhaus who were having a big influence on us, in some ways stylistically but also in the energy that they gave". They released three more singles on their own label, "Warsaw Ghetto" (1985), "Warsaw Ghetto Remixes" (1986) and "Let Your Body Learn" (1986), before signing to Mute Records in 1986.

Candy Carol
''Candy Carol'' is the third studio album by American synth-pop band Book of Love, released on January 23, 1991, by Sire Records. History Book of Love released their third record two years following their moderately successful album, '' Lullaby''. After having substantial success on college radio stations and the dancefloor in the eighties, ''Candy Carol'' was released amidst the changing musical landscape of the early nineties. In a 2009 interview, Lauren Roselli Johnson stated, "I think we had great momentum going from ''Book of Love'' to '' Lullaby''. Then, after the eighties were gone and the nineties arrived with a very heavy shift in usicgenres, production became valued-or not. There was hip hop, grunge, and house music. I think we fit in less and less with that stuff. It was kind of the beginning of the end of our story." The songs for ''Candy Carol'' were written and recorded in 1989 and 1990, and were "musically based on the late-60s pop idiom". The band's intent was ...

Synth-pop
Synth-pop (short for synthesizer pop; also called techno-pop; ) is a subgenre of new wave music that first became prominent in the late 1970s and features the synthesizer as the dominant musical instrument. It was prefigured in the 1960s and early 1970s by the use of synthesizers in progressive rock, electronic, art rock, disco, and particularly the Krautrock of bands like Kraftwerk. It arose as a distinct genre in Japan and the United Kingdom in the post-punk era as part of the new wave movement of the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. Electronic musical synthesizers that could be used practically in a recording studio became available in the mid-1960s, and the mid-1970s saw the rise of electronic art musicians. After the breakthrough of Gary Numan in the UK Singles Chart in 1979, large numbers of artists began to enjoy success with a synthesizer-based sound in the early 1980s. In Japan, Yellow Magic Orchestra introduced the TR-808 rhythm machine to popular music, and t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
