Tony Mansfield produced a bunch of other people’s records, notably the best stuff for Captain Sensible. My CD’s for the first two New Musik albums are the original European editions. The Japanese CD’s that came out when “Warp” was finally released on CD have different bonus tracks, but I never saw ‘em cheap. So, I have almost all of the vinyl, but not all of it on CD.


I pick up whatever I can find on New Musik, but it hasn’t been much as of late. I probably like “While You Wait” the best of the batch, at present. My favorite always used to be “This World of Water”. Guess I go through different phases of interest.

I didn't notice the 10" "Nu-Disk" EP amongst your listing, that was my introduction to New Musik and while at the time they could only be considered a minor entry in the flood of good stuff around, I still enjoy their quirky vocals and catchy melodies.

I don't have it on hand but ISTR that I got a CD that consolidated their first two (?) albums on Jim's recommendation.
