The Politics Of Dancing – Re-Flex

Posted by admin on May 13th, 2010 and filed under politics | 25 Comments »

Groovy!

“The Politics of Dancing” is a hit song by the British New Wave/synthpop band Re-Flex, released in 1983. It is the title track of their only released album.

It became the biggest hit of their career, peaking at #28 in the United Kingdom and #24 in the United States. The band managed to chart two more singles in the UK, but only managed to get one more single in the US. This song remains their signature song but makes Re-Flex considered as a one-hit wonder because of this song’s massive popularity and the group’s unpopular run of follow-up singles.

    I remember being on the Adriatic coasting along in a convertible, and this song came on, and bathing on the rooftops of Dubrovnik, and Trieste–I mean that’s how lax it is people take a tan on the tiled roofs of their home thinking nothing about it–and yes, Croatia is the nude capital of the world……………..God memories of 1984. Thank you.

    For those interested, there’s a new update from Paul Fishman on the Re-Flex project that’s just been posted on Re-Flex’s official Facebook page (search for Re-Flex and look for the Page with the black and white band profile photo).

    @howardhelm The completely remastered “Politics” album plus 5 others are in the works to be released this year by former Re-Flex band members. Interestingly enough, Paul Fishman said that the One Way Records CD was not even an “official” release, and that both the band and producer John Punter were “very dissatisfied” with it in comparison with the original release in 1983.

    Released in 1984, the CD is actually out of print now which makes this song even more of a rare gem.
