This EP reveals 5 unreleased live, rehearsal, and studio session recordings from 1980 by Steve Askew and Nick Beggs' band. The lineup of Steve Askew, Nick Beggs, Stuart Neale, and Jez Strode later became the core of Kajagoogoo, a far cry from this jarring St Vitus dance. The five-track EP is a prescient time capsule of the scene at the start of a decade that would herald major developments in electronic music, with Ska, New Wave, Punk, and Electro styles all present in the songs. The 'Art Nouveau' EP is a frozen moment, at once frantic, humorous, and nostalgic.
