  Frank Tovey/Fad Gadget (Mute)
Frank's next work would sever the cord to his electronic recordings irrevocably, but first Mute collected together the work of his previous incarnation for the 'Fad Gadget Singles' album, which was released in November 1986.
Frank made a brief, and typically extreme move into mainstream-baiting with the Mkultra project, a collaboration with visual artists Malcolm Poynter and Simon Stringer, which resulted in the 'Immobilise' single of November 1987.
Tovey loved the idea that the strength of these songs lay in their seeming simplicity, and that the themes they traversed were just as relevant in 1989.

 CMT.com : Frank Tovey : Biography
As Fad Gadget, Tovey and his revolving door of conspirators released several singles and four full-length albums that stretched the boundaries of pop music during the late '70s and early '80s.
And after Tovey started making records under his own name in the mid-'80s, he continued to remain as unpredictable as ever, working within the realms of Cajun, blues, and folk, in addition to furthering his journey into experimental electronics.
Tovey was more likely to be compared to Bob Dylan than Gary Numan, as his lyrics favored the everyman over machines and aliens.

I thought of Frank as pretty much the indie/alternative Bowie; always creatively restless, always putting the slip on his shadow; moving so fast through a beguiling series of masks and styles that he was unlikely to ever hit it big.
Frank recorded the insistently sprightly and brilliantly arranged single Luxury, which was almost commercial enough to be radio-friendly, and dropped the Fad Gadget moniker in hope of more mainstream acceptance; the only such gesture he'd ever make.
Frank teamed up with the highly talented Irish trio, John Cutliffe, Paul Rodden and Laurence Doherty, and continued moving in the direction of traditional music, keeping synths at arm's length; though you'll find rock, blues, folk and sundry other styles on these albums.

 Documentary Evidence - Frank Tovey And The Pyros   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
There are many themes here, but one gets the impression that Tovey's re-developing East End, with Canary Wharf's landscape-altering construction in full swing, invoked in him some sort of passion to head back in time and preserve the dirty Docklands spleandour of old in song.
At times melancholy (the WW2-recounting tale on 'Bethnal Green Tube Disaster'), at others joyful in a ramshackle fashion (the opener 'Bad Day In Bow Creek'), the album is largely subtle and blissfully easy on the ear.
A truly emotive gem, filled with grief, joy and a yearning for simpler times (ironically, I write this while heading glumly toward my own shiny modern City offices on a train wildly rushing through some of the tunnels that Brunel was famed for).
