Fiat Lux formed in Yorkshire, England, in 1982 with Steve Wright (vocals), Ian Nelson (sax, keyboards), and Dave Crickmore (guitars, keyboards). They had a slightly popular single named 'Secrets', which many people today might recognize without being able to name the band. They also released three other singles and a mini-LP called 'Hired History'. They enjoyed more success away from the UK touring Europe with the likes of Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones, Blancmange, The Sound and Level 42. A number four chart position was achieved in New Zealand with 'Secrets' and 'Blue Emotion' was a top ten single in countries in Europe.

This didn't get the attention that it deserved probably because it was issued after the whole New Romantic/Futurist thing had peaked but the 12" is a beauty long dancey intro, then an unusual song with massive swirling hanging synth lines which were worthy of classic Japan or early Duran Duran. I'm obviously commenting about the 12" as they won't allow comments under the 12" and no New Romantic ever had anything less than the 12" mix😉. Anyway thanks for uploading this version which is obviously good in its own right so we can comment on a very decent tune.
As an aside I'm interested what the 'new wave scene' was. As someone from England the centre of the production of this type of music the words 'new wave' were never used to describe anything made after about early 1979 (if you'd said new wave to describe anything made in the 1980s you'd have been laughed at) And up till 1979 with the occasional exception it usually meant a watered down version of punk played on guitars and had nothing in the slightest to do with synth-pop or music seen as part of the New Romantic scene that dominated from approximately 1980 til about 1984. But I've noticed Americans seem to unbelievably use the term 'new wave' it to describe synth-pop (I've even seen it used on discogs to describe stuff made well into the 21st Century!) although there's been a noticeable lessening of this even amongst Americans in the last few years. The power of the internet eh?.

It's New Romantic, which grew out of synthpop. Ian Nelson on woodwinds and keyboards, brother of Bill Nelson of Flaming Desire fame. Bill produced early tracks...

it is kinda hard to call this synthpop as it is not so synth heavy it is more new romantics but i love it

It's got a wonderful atmospheric synth in the background though but you need to listen to the 12" mix to get the full effect.

@pathogensmusick This is undoubtedly new wave. Not synthpop. Synthpop is more like OMD, where the keyboard dominates. In this, the bass is as prominent as the keyboard.

This sounds more like bands such as Simple Minds & Duran Duran which I would never call "Synth-pop"... theres guitars & a rock feel that you usually don't hear with Synth-pop.
