Synth Britannia

SINOPSIS

Documentary about a generation of post-punk musicians who took the synthesiser from the experimental fringes to the centre of the pop stage. Following Human League, Daniel Miller and Cabaret Volatire, the crossover moment came in 1979 when Gary Numan's appearance on "TOTP" heralded the arrival of synthpop. Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Soft Cell, OMD and Yazoo took the synth into the mainstream.
