How to Be a...Zillionaire!

How to Be a...Zillionaire! cover art

Following a rocky period of shifting band members and declining commercial reception, frontman Martin Fry radically restructured the group's sound around heavy, dance-oriented electronics. 'How to Be a...Zillionaire!' heavily utilizes the newly available Fairlight CMI synthesizer to construct deeply artificial, beat-driven synthpop arrangements peppered with early digital sampling. The distinctly cartoonish, ultra-modern aesthetic successfully yielded the massive international hit 'Be Near Me.'
