"After returning from Germany Tony Red found a job at a rehearsal/recording studio where he came across a new age Belgium band called Glass Museum. These were seriously good musicians with seriously good equipment for the time (1982). Tony Red joined the band as bass player and they set about putting a set of original songs together, this was where Tony's job in a rehearsal studio came in very handy.'Glass Museum' were offered their first big break with a support tour with "Simple Minds" on the Belgium leg of their European tour to promote the new Simple Minds single 'Promise You A Miracle'." (http://www.tonyred.co.uk/history.html)
In 1983 Gold founded an own record label called RGM.Under this label released their only Lp in 1984.With the 11 melodic songs they can match any other bands in the early 80's. Their blissful synth-pop/new wave music contains fine vocal parts,brilliant keyboard solos,surprising rhythmic breaks and tone changes.Two of their songs "Future" and "Daytripper" demonstrated that they are not only a one hit wonder band.In the ballads "A Friend Departed" and "Spectres" the singer Clyde created a unique romatic atmosphere.
One of their tracks "Dumping-Cart Motion" appeared on The New Wave Complex - Volume 9
Their Lp is very rare,never released on CD

Follow-up to the Prince song - Erotic City (clean edit / radio edit). Both versions say fu_k.
Some think the word is funk. Not sure how long the clean edit / radio edit is.
1993: B-Sides = 3:55
1996: Girl 6 Soundtrack = 3:55
I loved their single Future, but missed to buy the album. Luckily, one week ago, I found this very nice record in a vinyl record shop here in Zurich. Lucky me, because the shop is closing today forever.
Cool article as for me. I'd like to read a bit more concerning this theme. Thanx for posting this data.

Bro why is the font yellow on a light tan background. Horrific and utterly unreadable. I wanted to learn something today but unfortunately, due to your poor website planning, it was not in the cards for me. I am going to steal this article and re-publish it as my own, in a readable font. You brought it on yourself.
Just read the article. It isn’t even worth stealing.
Que linda banda Glass Museum. Un album exquisito. Con su tema sobresaliente a mi gusto "Spectres". Saludos desde Cordoba, Argentina. Gracias
