Computer age...




Few interesting information about Newcleus except the fact that it is an American group that was born in 1977 and originally composed of Ben Cenac and his cousins Monique and Pierre Angevin.


Group which will remain mainly in the musical history of this end of the 20th century for the high-caliber single "Jam on revenge" which will be released in 1986.


For this reason alone, we had to devote this article to them.


To discover or rediscover.

Clips :


1984...from the first title, we can clearly see that this group has potential. Afterwards, what will he do with this famous potential, the future will tell us...



1984... the group confirms in the wake that it is surely not there by chance. The sound, just like the style, are trendy and all they have to do is produce THE title that will take them from shadow to light...



1984...the big take-off will not take place during this year 1984. But it is certain that the engines of the Newcleus rocket are already on and ready to propel the group into the highest spheres in the most imminent future...



1985...we expected a possible take-off in this new year 1985 but we will have to be a little patient. But it doesn't matter, title after title the band is gaining momentum and that's the main thing...



1985...the group's talent is evident and everything is now ready for the big fireworks display. A big fireworks display that won't be long...



1986...the year 1986 will be the good one ! Here it is the big takeoff for the group thanks to this title which will offer them the biggest success of their entire career and above all a direct ticket for posterity. HU-GE !



1986...certainly, the group will not remain as the most successful of its entire generation, but it will at least have had the merit of offering something original. Isn't that the main thing...?



1987... the group will never be able to repeat the exploit of 'Jam on revenge' but that does not prevent him from continuing to believe in it. And given what he continues to produce, we can only encourage him to continue the adventure...



1988...a truly unique style that is unlike any other and necessarily sets them apart from the crowd. Afterwards, should we consider this as a strength or a weakness, good question...



1988...only the Americans will have been able to produce this kind of band, that's for sure. The English will have invented a very typical English 'sound' during this decade but the Americans will have done the same...



1990 ... an adventure that lasts in any case. It is clear that the group has lost contact with the race leader for some time but this does not slow them down at first sight...



1990... the sound evolution is obvious, 90s oblige. The group had to try to stick as much as possible to the latest trends of the moment and it's done with this title...



1993...well, it won't have brought him any more than that, but he will have at least tried. The competition is now light years ahead and the group is seriously starting to pay the price...



1994...an adventure that comes to an end with this title, but the group will still have managed to exist for about ten years, that's already it. In any case, we will be satisfied with it !
