HORIZONS #42

This week on HORIZONS we welcome two new (to us) artists to the fold. From England, debuting in 1979 with an album featuring cover art by the renowned Hipgnosis, pop/folk singer Judie Tzuke. And from nearer shores and more recent times (the mid-80s), from Montreal the pop-new wave sounds of The Box.

Judie's work brings to mind what a Carly Simon record might sound like if she was signed to Stiff records and The Box evoke a "Peter Gabriel fronting a less spastic Police" sound. We'll be hearing more from both artists in weeks and months to come.

Also don't miss this week's Two-fer Tuesday: this time featuring two takes on State of Independence, the original Jon and Vangelis recording and the 90's trip-hop adaptation by Moodswings with Chrissie Hynde.

be good to each other and I'll see you again under the cover of night
