Strongly influenced by minimalism, the group was produced by the composer Philip Glass and Kurt Munkacsi. The band, led by singer/guitarist Billy Robertson (formerly of the group Model Citizens), had a keyboard-heavy, pattern-based sound strongly reminiscent of Glass's work; in fact, Glass performed on their first two albums.
Polyrock's lineup also included vocalist Catherine Oblasney, guitarist Tommy Robertson, drummer Joseph Yannece, and keyboard player Lenny Aaron. The group signed with RCA by 1980, and delivered their debut album that same year. Two albums followed in 1981 (Changing Hearts and Electro-Romantic), but Polyrock disbanded in 1982.
They were often compared by critics to Talking Heads, another band of the same era, though they never approached that band's fame.

I saw this video over 25 years ago, ran out and found the first album and have been a fan ever since. Though I never saw this again until now, this has always been one of my favorite songs. THANK YOU

I remember buying their two albums on cassette, Polyrock and No Love Lost. Great stuff. I liked them way more than the Talking Heads. Too bad they broke up in 1982.

I remember when I first hear this song in 1980 it blew me away. And I went to the record store and brought the Album and my brother stole it.
