And Also The Trees-02-Talk without words.mp3
From AllMusicGuide.com
by John Bush
From a rural village in Worcestershire, England, brothers Simon (vocals) and Justin Jones (guitar) formed And Also the Trees in 1979 with bassist Steven Burrows and drummer Nick Havas. In response to an ad by the Cure looking for support bands on their English tour, the Jones brothers sent a tape and ended up doing several dates and later an entire tour with Robert Smith and co. in 1981.
And Also the Trees still hadn't released any material at that point, so the Cure's Lol Tolhurst produced a single ("Shantell") and the band's eponymous debut album, released in February of 1984

New Order - The Peter Saville Show Soundtrack.mp3
From wikipedia
The Peter Saville Show Soundtrack" is an EP released by New Order in 2003. It was released in order to celebrate the opening of a Peter Saville exhibition, which was shown in Manchester, England and New York City in the same year. This was a compact disc-only release, limited to 3000 copies. It was released by London Records with the catalogue number "SAVILLE1". Although the disc is credited to New Order, apparently only members Stephen Morris and Peter Hook were involved, as they got tired of waiting for Bernard Sumner to arrive at the studio.

New Wave Podcast Songs show #19 Option 30
This week Podcast Features Option 30
Song 1
Cover of The Thompson Twins - Lies
From Wikipedia
Option 30 was a New Wave band from the 1980s, in which Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails played the keyboard and supplied lead vocals. The band also featured Tim Smith (guitars/vocals), Jim Nordstrom (bass/saxophone) and Todd Nero (percussion).
Option 30's style is similar to Falco and early albums by The Police. The band managed to record a demo (see below) before Trent Reznor left for The Innocent, Exotic Birds and finally, his own band, Nine Inch Nails. The demo was then shelved until after the explosive success of Nine Inch Nails' album The Downward Spiral, when it was finally re-released.
