There’s no denying it–Fad Gadget was one of the greatest synth groups of its era. Frank Tovey was a madman with a synth–his onstage antics routinely ended up causing him personal injury and notoriety, and the music itself was an uncompromising wall of nihilism and electronics. Even when Tovey veered off into folkie country, he was still edgy as hell and one of the more unique exports of the U.K. indie music scene in the 80s and 90s.

Today he is probably best remembered for the singles “Collapsing New People”, “Love Parasite”, and “Swallow It”, but work overall deserves another look–the tracks hold up very well over the course of time and his legacy should not be overlooked.

Sadly, Frank Tovey died in the 90s just as he was on the verge of doing a comeback. This collection of singles is a GREAT introduction for those who haven’t had the Fad Gadget experience, and a wonderful reminder for the rest of us. Check the vid clip at the end of this post for the proof–Fad Gadget deserves all its accolades.
