Not much talk on this board about this German Electronic outfit, but very worthy of your attention. AKA Gina X, this late '70s/early '80s band featured Zeus B. Held as a member before he left to produce many great '80s recordings.

This is a rather lame '79 vid but will give you an idea of their sound. Their albums are now on CD via LTM.....

I bought the CD of Voyeur last year and really like it. I haven't been able to find any others on the shelves.

"Nice Mover" is her best song ever. Very studio 54ish. Some of her other songs are strange, unintelligible lyrics like "vex vex vex vex!". Huh?

From discogs:
Real Name: Gina Kikoine, Zeus B. Held
Profile: Formed in Cologne, Germany, the core of Gina X Performance comprised charismatic Gina Kikoine (vocals and lyrics) and writer-producer-musician Zeus B. Held. Between 1979 and 1984 the group released four albums of cool arthouse electro-disco: Nice Mover, X-Traordinaire, Voyeur and Yinglish. Their classic 1979 single No G.D.M. was a club hit on both sides of the Atlantic and remains a cult classic thanks to electro/synthcore compilations such as Nag Nag Nag. Slinky second single Nice Mover is also an established favourite, having appeared on the Andrew Weatherall compilation Nine O'Clock Drop.

I'm jes sayin'
