* 2) An early new wave band which was part of the English musical scene originated by punk in the 1970s. The group was formed by the American-born singer Ian North, who was the frontman and the only continuous member from the band formation in 1977 to the end in 1979.
In 1976, Ian North (lead vocals, guitar) travelled with the band Milk 'N' Cookies for which he was the guitarist, to London to record a new album but they never made it and the group took separate ways. Only North stayed in London, meeting Brian Eno and Martin Gordon (bass), who a few years previously had founded, with ex John's Children's Andy Ellison, the glam band Jet. North created a new band called Radio and invited Paul Simon (drums), who formed part of Limmie Funk Limited (with Limmie Snell) to join them and completed the line-up. The band was post-punk, but after only one gig, supporting Ultravox! in November 1976, Gordon dropped out. The band recruited George Dyner to replace Gordon, but in April 1977, North took his place on bass and continuing singing, and Paul's brother Robert was introduced on guitar.
According to Paul Simon, Radio (nowadays credited as Ian North's Radio) recorded some songs in the studio, which he remastered in 2007. In mid 1977, Paul Simon accompanied Martin Gordon, forming part of Radio Stars and recording with them "Good Personality", a 7" single, and other tracks, some of which were eventually released on Radio Stars' compilation "Somewhere There's A Place For Us". He was asked to stay with them, but preferred continuing with North in Neo.
Neo
As a three piece band, Radio immediately transformed to Neo. North became the bassist, and in this way the group continued until February/March 1978, when Robert Simon dropped out and formed part of Ultravox. North sacked Paul Simon, and included session players in his project: ex-ZZebra members, Steve Byrd on guitar and John McCoy on bass, and Bryson Graham on drums. They recorded an album in Ian Gillan's studio, and after Gillan heard them, he hired Byrd and McCoy away from North. Gillan and the ex-Neo musicians formed Gillan. Only Graham stayed with North.
North renewed Neo again with Steve Wilkin (ex-Wired and Masterwitch) on guitar, Nick South on bass and Graham on drums, but shortly afterwards South and Graham were replaced by Mik Sweeney and Derek Quinton, respectively. Later Dan Black completed the line-up as keyboardist. That line-up toured with Magazine, doing gigs promoting their single "Tran-Sister", released that year.
After changes of line-ups, Neo split up in 1979 because North had to return to the US. Sweeney joined The News and, later, Classix Nouveaux, Steve Wilkin joined Random Hold, Quinton joined Sector 27, with Tom Robinson, and Black formed Psychic TV.
Following his return to the US, Ian North became a hairdresser and artist.

falls es so etwas gibt
ich hab dich wirklich lieb
in meinen trumen
ich find dich wunderschn
zu schn um zu verstehn
dass alles mal vergeht
ich bin wieder hier
in meinem revier
war nie wirklich weg
hab mich nur versteckt
ich rieche den dreck
ich atme tief ein
und dann bin ich mir sicher
wieder zu hause zu sein
ich hab dich wirklich lieb
auch wenn ich dir nie schrieb
und dich verleumdet hab
in meinen trumen
wenn du vergessen kannst
alles vergessen kannst
dann schenk mir diesen tanz
ich will nichts versumen
ich bin wieder hier
in meinem revier
war nie wirklich weg
hab mich nur versteckt
ich rieche den dreck
ich atme tief ein
und dann bin ich mir sicher
wieder zu hause zu sein
ich bin wieder danoch immer ein star
noch immer ein held
fr kein geld der welt

The lyrics of Neo's song Awakening talk about love, homecoming, and forgiveness. In the first stanza, the singer expresses their love for someone and admits that they may never have shown it in real life but only in their dreams. They find this person beautiful and acknowledging the fleeting nature of life, they want to make the most of their time in their dreams.
In the second stanza, the singer talks about returning to their home, their "revier". They say they were never really away, just hiding. They take in the sights and smells of their home and feel sure that they are indeed back where they belong. In the chorus, the singer again admits to having loved someone but not showing it in real life. They ask for forgiveness and a chance to make up for their mistakes through a dance. They conclude the song with the declaration that they are back home for good and will never leave again.
Overall, the song is about the importance of love and belonging. The singer may have been away or hiding for a while, but their love for a person and their home has brought them back. The song suggests that even if someone has made mistakes, love and forgiveness can heal and bring them back to where they belong.

I love how Smith shoots Neo without any sort of pause or hesitation. No taunt or monologue. He just fires.
@brandonreed09
He already did his monologue in their fight before this.
@teddratch_owner_signature_4920
The actor talked about how he came up with the voice of Dr. Smith. It was based on a newscast of a newscaster he had heard. He was looking for something that was neither human nor robotic, the voice of a program. Then he hears this guy doing a newscast in a certain tone and manner for 10 seconds or so and decides that Dr. Smith should speak in that tone and voice for the entire film.
