The Best of Fad Gadget
by Fad Gadget
Summarizes the darkly theatrical, immensely influential career of Frank Tovey, the very first artist signed to Daniel Miller's legendary Mute Records. The compilation navigates his pioneering fusion of harsh, post-industrial synthesizers with deadpan, satirical new wave pop. Released shortly before his untimely passing, it serves as a vital testament to a true unsung hero of early British electronic music.
