Does anyone know anything about the group BuckFizz who does the song
"I Hear Talk"?, a very popular number at my local dance hangout and
also at the Palladium in NYC, judging from the ecstatic squeals that
greeted it last time I was there. The song is mostly remarkable for
its unusually imaginative use of dynamic gradations, an aspect of
sound completely unexploited by most of pop music. The effect
achieved in the song is that of a hypnotic rollercoster, a feeling
that was intensified by the lightshow man at the Palladium who varied
the lighting from very low to daylight brightness, reflecting the
song's varying moods. All I know is the group's name, shouted at me
by the local DJ. I have not been able to locate the 12" version of
the song in local record stores which are always out of it, and I
couldn't find trace of any album by the group. I'd be interested in
hearing any additional information anyone might have on them.
