Few interesting information about The Neon Judgment except the fact that it is a Belgian group formed in Leuven in 1981 and composed of Dirk Timmermans and Frank Vloeberghs.
Group that will remain mainly in the musical history of this end of the 20th century for the high-caliber single "Miss Brown" which will be released in 1987.
For this reason alone, we had to devote this article to them.
To discover or rediscover.

Clips :
1982...like any good self-respecting Belgian group from the beginning of the decade, the sound, just like the style, is almost experimental. Each time, it was the mid-1980s that put them back on the right track...
1982...no improvement in sight to be expected for the moment. It is clear that it is not with such a sound that the group risks attracting the general public...
1983... we are moving towards improvement but there is still work to be done, that's clear. The Belgian groups during this decade will always have distinguished themselves from the rest of the world by a sound that is obscure to say the least. At least in their early days...
1985...as always, it was the middle of the decade that saw them evolve in the right direction. They will quickly realize that too much originality kills originality at some point...
1986... the sound certainly evolves but the style still leaves something to be desired. Let's give them a little more time and we could see a reversal of the situation, to say the least unexpected...
1987... for the good surprise, it will not be yet for this year 1987 but we are getting closer slowly but surely. Patience, patience...
1987... the good surprise finally arrives with THIS title. Title which will remain as one of the most emblematic of the group and which above all allows them to know a semblance of high level recognition. It was time...
1989...this one will go a little more unnoticed when it deserved almost greater recognition than its predecessor. Such is life as they say...
1989...the group never really knew how to find its place among the world's musical elite by refusing to stick to the standards of the time. A bias that they will have paid a high price for in terms of recognition, or at least lack of recognition...
1990...this does not prevent them from continuing the adventure in their own way and without worrying too much about the dictates of the Star System. Afterwards, rightly or wrongly, that's something else...
1991... they will try to evolve but it is far too late to turn the tide. Especially since they want to evolve in their own way and not by following that of others again...
1995... they in any case continue to believe in it. A desire to move forward at all costs which undeniably commands respect and which above all allows them to show that they still exist...
1995...from start to finish, they didn't do anything like the others. It must be said that they mix old and new influences in a way that is really very personal to them...
1998...the decades may follow one another, just like the years, the group only follows its guiding inspiration and certainly not what the general public expects. Their music, as they say, take it or leave it...
1998 ... some songs may seem more affordable than others but it remains a minority all the same. With them, it's a surprise guaranteed with each title, whether it's good or bad...
2009...we will lose sight of them for nearly 11 years and here they are back when we sincerely thought we would never see them again. Never say never with them...
2009...it's clear that only their core fans are interested in them now. Because frankly difficult, if not impossible, to capture the younger generations with such a specific sound...
2009... after that they can still boast of still being there, whereas most of those who started at the same time as them have already hung up their gloves a long time ago. They can actually...
2012...and here they are again in this new decade of 2010 ! Unstoppable little guys ! It is therefore easy to imagine that this title will surely not be the last, far from it...
