Synth Brittania - BBC synth pop documentary
I watched this via Youtube a few days back, great stuff. On Youtube, search "synth brittania", it should show a 9 or 10 part series. Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Human League, Heaven 17, etc.

Thanks for posting this! As an (American) guitar player, I've been vaguely aware of these bands for years, but basically slept on some good music. Suprised at how heavy some of the Gary Numan stuff was, in particular.
Loud guitars, award-winning songwriting, and visits from the devil.

I've been following Gary Numan fairly continuously since 1979 or so, he's still putting out good stuff, but he's kind of on a Marilyn Manson/Nine Inch Nails thing lately.
I didn't realize the singer from Yaz (or is it Yazoo in the states) was a woman!
It almost sounded like the Kraftwerk tour was the "Beatles on Ed Sullivan" for a lot of those bands.
Yeah, I should probably be venting on some "british synth band" forum, oh well.
