Another article, titled “Today’s Synthesizer Devils,” explores the rising popularity of the British synth-pop duo Soft Cell. The issue also covers Simon and Garfunkel’s tour in a story titled “A Record Seven Years Late.”
The “Disko Ekspres” section includes news about David Bowie’s return to the British stage after a five-year absence, the death of Scottish rock singer Alex Harvey, and Julio Iglesias’s latest platinum-record achievement.
