Synth Britannia

Synth Britannia is an amazing BBC documentary chronicling the rise of synth music from its experimental dystopian beginnings in the late 70's to the synth pop of the early 80's. There is an incredible amount of behind-the-scenes tales. I found it interesting how progressive and punk-like early synth musicians were.
The genre of synth pop grew up alongside me in the 80's and play a crucial role in my views on music and theatrics still today.
