The Post Punk Progressive Pop Party

Trio

Labels: 1982 |

In August of 1982, Trio released their first album in the U.K. It was appropriately titled Trio. The album had been released in 1981 in their native Germany. It did not contain their most well-known single, "Da Da Da I Don't Love You, You Don't Love Me Aha Aha Aha", despite the single's release in 1982, because the album had actually been recorded a year ealier. When re-released on CD, the song was added as a bonus track. Yes...both the English and German versions of the song. The Niedersachsen, Germany new wave band called it quits in 1985 after four albums and numerous singles.

Unknown said...: IDEAL's BLAUE AUGEN was a HUGE new wave hit in Germany... it's off their first ( and best - although they're all good ) album of 3. It's still a dancefloor filler and has been covered by lots of people including the happy hardcore annoyance Blumchen who happily isn't widely known outside Germany... you'll find this on youtube as well if you need to know how to ruin a decent song!!!; Tue Sep 02, 07:35:00 AM EDT
Unknown said...: Forgot to mention, Ideal's guitarist Eff Jot Krüger died in April 2007 of cancer. RIP - Here's another classic German TV mimed performance with Eff Jot singing- taking the piss nicely!!!

Will track down Ideal's first album - sounds promising. Love her German vocals.
