Now we are getting down to it, we've past the first 25 of the countdown, and now on down to the final 74! Speaking of,
#74 is...
Say This to Me (12" Dance Remix), by Canadian new wave band
NEO a4. What's that you say...never heard of the song or the band??? Don't feel alone, because you aren't. I first discovered
NEO a4 whilst watching
Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. The version of the song I am including on the list is actually the
12" version too (released in 1988), so take note of that.
NEO a4 came out of Edmonton, Alberta Canada in 1981 and the members were Ric Johnston, John Tidswell, Joel Anderson. Later, Doug Radford. They lasted as a group until 1989 when they disbanded. If you look on Itunes you will find those albums and this song. I have rated this song on the countdown as I have found them to be a very good and very unrecognized band, with a similar sound to
Duran Duran, or the
Thompson Twins, some kind of hybrid of groups, and I highly recommend checking out their self-titled album on
Itunes, which is the only place I have been able to find it.
Youtube has one of their songs, but not this one, and no one else seems to have it available either so their is no video for this, sorry folks, you'll have to go to the link below to find it. In fact this may be the only song on the whole Top 100 Countdown that will be unavailable to watch on youtube, but I suppose there had to be at least one. Enjoy!
