Officer! is the brainchild of Londoner Mick Hobbs. His musical roots are in the fecund RIO scene of the late ’70s and early 1980s, initially as guitarist in The Work (alongside Bill Gilonis, Rick Wilson and Henry Cow’s Tim Hodgkinson), and subsequent related groupings The Lowest Note, The Lo Yo Yo, and The Momes. Over the course of the decade he became closely associated with This Heat and their Cold Storage studio in Brixton, working with the likes of Flaming Tunes, Family Fodder, Catherine Jauniaux and Zeena Parkins, to name but a few.
The Officer! project formally surfaced in 1982 with a cassette tape entitled 'Eight New Songs By Mick Hobbs'. It marked the blossoming of a singular writer and improvisor, with a gift for plangent melody, ingenious arrangement and lyrics at once caustic and courtly, playful and profound. The Cold Storage-recorded 'Ossification' LP arrived a year later, followed by 'Cough' (1985) and 'Yes Yes No No Yes No Yes' (1988). [SOURCE: BLACKEST EVER BLACK]
Niew Hip Stilen came from Rotterdam and played an amazing style of electronic synth wave jazz with some hints towards the urban music culture of early eighties New York City. Nevertheless their sound is also very Dutch and akin to the other great electro jazz group from Rotterdam called Kiem. Niew Hip Stilen consisted of Maarten van Gent -bass, drums, guitar, percussion & vocals; Jan Willem van Mook -bass, sax, keyboards, percussion & computer; and Rutger van Otterloo -sax, drums & percussion. Niew Hip Stilen made one album on Eksakt records called 'Heartsounds and Murmers' that still stands as one of the most inventive and interesting Dutch albums from the eighties.
