The story behind
A Flock of Seagulls released a song called Modern Love Is Automatic in 1981, as part of an EP. The same song also appeared on their album of the following year. They recorded it in the Battery studio, in London. The song reached #19 in the Dance Club Play chart in the United States, along with another called Telecommunication.
The vocalist, Mike Score, sings with a rhythmic and controlled voice, as if he were programmed. He talks about how, at the time, modern love moved more by advertising and commerce than by real feelings. Some compare his style to that of Peter Murphy, of Bauhaus, because it also carries a kind of nostalgia and a touch of the supernatural.
