Saturday Flashback: Pop Muzik

The single Pop Muzik broke in the UK in the Spring of 1979, but didn't come out here until that fall.  Released by "M", it had a synthesized pop sound that reminded many people of Devo, which sparked rumors that M was Mark Mothersbaugh.  In fact, the guy behind M was a Brit named Robin Scott.  Along with people like Gary Numan, Scott helped to popularize the synth pop sound that would come to define one of the biggest sounds of the 80s.  Enjoy!
