New Musik, an English synth-pop ensemble active from 1977 to 1982, was fronted by songwriter and producer Tony Mansfield. Their innovative fusion of electronic and acoustic elements yielded a distinctive sound that resonated in the early 1980s music scene. The band's debut album, *From A to B* (1980), featured the UK Top 20 hit "Living by Numbers" and other charting singles like "Straight Lines," "This World of Water," and "Sanctuary." Their subsequent albums, *Anywhere* (1981) and *Warp* (1982), further showcased their pioneering use of synthesizers and digital sampling. Post-disbandment, Mansfield achieved acclaim producing for artists such as a-ha and Naked Eyes. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Musik?utm_source=openai))
