New Musik was an English synth-pop group led by Tony Mansfield that released three studio albums (From A to B, Anywhere, Warp) in the early 1980s.

Tony Mansfield was the group's leader and later had a production career credited on projects mentioned in the reviews (Naked Eyes, Captain Sensible, early A-ha). Reviews note the band's use of contemporary synths (Prophet 5, Fairlight, Oberheim, Korg 700S) and Roland vocoder equipment.

DeBaser hosts two appreciative reviews of New Musik's early-1980s output, praising Tony Mansfield's songwriting and production. Anywhere is presented as a cult synth-pop high point; Warp is noted for forward-looking house and ambient touches. Both reviews lament limited commercial recognition and scarce reissues.

For:Fans of 1980s synth-pop, collectors of vintage electronic music, readers interested in production and pop-history curiosities.

 Three elements especially characterize New Musik's arrangements: absence of solos, use of the twelve-string guitar in association with the coldness of electronics, uniqueness of the vocal parts.

 It's a shame that even today, it's only available for the Japanese market, and this speaks volumes about the band's commercial consideration.
