What their label says...

It's a brand new year, and even though you're all either in the red, seeing red, on red alert or being caught red handed DATAROCK's got good news for each and everyone of you: the difficult second album is finally finished and it's the best thing to happen mankind since the C64. The red letter day isn't till June, but we'll be letting you in on a few red hot secrets long before.

DATAROCK's "RED" is no less than a masterpiece based on the good old principle of artistic theft ("amateurs borrow, professionals steal"), and of course again we've dug ourselves into the data about the rock of the late seventies & early eighties: the art, the music, the films, the subversive & popular culture, the new theory, the new technology and all that new equipment. As I'm sure we all agree there's never been a more exiting period of time within the world's collective cultural history. The years between '76 and '83 are in all ways the peak of cultural evolution. The zenith, the rise and the fall.
