New Wave Outpost Forum

Art Bergmann should have been huge. Unfortunately, outside of a few of the Canadians on the board, most of you probably have no idea who he is, and so the linked review is helpful in that it gives some perspective on his career.

Bearwood Music recently released the 1986 demos produced by Paul Hyde and Bob Rock of the Payola$ that landed Art a recording contract. The resulting album, Crawl With Me, is a fine album, but many feel that the essence of Art was stripped from the recording by poor production, and that the Bob Rock mixes were far superior.

Attached are samples of five songs from Lost Art:

1) My Empty House (about murdering your spouse)
2) Final Cliche (about offing yourself)
3) Runaway Train
4) Our Little Secret (about incest)
5) Junkie Don't Care (about drug addiction)

Great songs...not surprising the subject matter didn't play well on Canadian radio!
