can you tell me something about this band? i remember back in '81 or so shock were mentioned somewhere along with landscape, but i've never heard anything from them and i've got no information about the band. is it some lost cult classic or something? if this is the same band... [/b]Shock were a dance & mime act under the guidance of Rusty Egan & Richard Burgess (Landscape). They only released 2 singles to my knowledge. Angel Face b/w R.E.R.B & Dynamo Beat b/w Dream Games.
Their major claim to fame was performing with Gary Numan on the 3 Wembley Arena concerts in 1981 (I was at the final show).
Tik & Tok were in Shock & when Shock split they released a few singles with minor success.
Summer In The City
Cool Running
Screen Me I'm Yours
Everything Will Change
They released an album called Intolerance which was very dissapointing. Tik & Tok also supported Gary Numan on his Warriors tour.
That's all I remember about them. Please fill in the gaps that i've left out.
Cool Running was the best single, backed with possibly the best electronic instrumental ever, entitled Synthetic Heartsteps Of Unconcerned Androids.
