1980 electro-pop masterpiece from Belgium's Finest!
Neurovision is Belgian electronic band Telex's second album, originally released in 1980.
Addicted to vocodered-English-as-a-foreign-language deadpans and rubber-duckie beats, Belgium’s faux-Kraftwerk entry just might be the cutest of them all, and certainly the most touching: Melancholy moments like “We Are All Getting Old,” “My Time,” and “A/B” (the best song ever about playing B-sides) match the Germans at their crisp-air “Neon Lights” loveliest.
Neurovision also has “Euro-Vision,” Telex’s subversive, almost-last-place meta-entry in the 1980 Eurovision Song Contest; “Dance to the Music,” a mechanized Sly Stone cover; and “Tour De France,” released three years before Kraftwerk’s bike-race tribute of the same name.
