It would be the last to feature frontman John Foxx and the only one to feature guitarist Robin Simon; both would leave afterwards as a result of Creative Differences with the rest of the band. The album continues the band's transition from punkish Glam Rock into New Romantic Synth-Pop, aided by a shift in producers from Steve Lillywhite to Krautrock veteran Conny Plank, who incorporated the electronic and Echoing Acoustics-centric style that he'd created with Germany's experimental acts.While it took for their next album Vienna to complete said transition, the wheels were already in motion on Systems of Romance, which is a New Wave album through and through. Ironically, Foxx left because of his preference for a synth-driven sound clashing with his more rockist bandmates, making the galvanization of the shift in sound under Midge Ure's leadership somewhat amusing to look at under the circumstances.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The album also featured several technological advancements and unconventional (and complicated) recording techniques. For example, the opening track "Slow Motion" allegedly makes use of an early multi-effect guitar pedal. Songs such as "Dislocation" are completely electronic. While by no means the first album to ever feature synthesizers in a prominent role, it did so in a way that had more in common with The '80s than it did The '70s. Foxx would go for a cold, stark Synth-Pop sound for his first solo album Metamatic, but he too would return to the sound of this album for his second, The Garden.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })TracklistSide 1 "Slow Motion" (3:29) "I Can't Stay Long" (4:16) "Someone Else's Clothes" (4:25) "Blue Light" (3:09) "Some of Them" (2:29)Side 2 "Quiet Men" (4:08) "Dislocation" (2:55) "Maximum Acceleration" (3:53) "When You Walk Through Me" (4:15) "Just for a Moment" (3:10)Principal members | |
