Robin Scott (= M - Pop Muzik) 3 Albums

Robin Edmond Scott (born 1 April 1947 in Croydon, Surrey) is an English singer and founder of a music project he called M. His career encompasses four decades.
He grew up in the Croydon and attended Croydon Art college, where he met Malcolm McLaren in the late 1960s. Scott befriended him and fashion guru Vivienne Westwood (with whom he was to collaborate ten years later).
He declined their offer to be involved in SEX, the Chelsea clothes shop which McLaren and Westwood launched, preferring to make his career in music. While at college he had displayed a talent for songwriting topical songs which he performed on radio and television, and this led to his debut album, entitled Woman From the Warm Grass, which was released on a small independent record label called Head Records.
Scott was backed on the album by a notable group of the time, Mighty Baby, but the recording studio soon folded. Scott began working as a troubadour, singing his own songs and accompanying himself on guitar and spent a period playing folk music clubs as a solo musician, sharing bills with such emergent artists as David Bowie, John Martyn and Ralph McTell. He also recorded a session for the BBC, one of the tracks from which was included on the CD reissue of the album in 2001.
When punk rock began to surface in late 1976 early 1977, while working with Roogalator both as producer and manager, he released early recordings by Adam and the Ants on his Do It Records label. In 1978, Scott worked as producer for Barclay Records in Paris, France where he lived with his girlfriend Brigitte Vinchon (alias Brigit Novik), after producing and filming with director Julien Temple an all female punk quartet, The Slits.
While still in Paris he recorded early versions of Moderne Man and Satisfy Your Lust, tracks which would ultimately appear on the first album. With a group of session musicians he called M, he also produced and recorded Pop Muzik, which was written as his résumé of twenty five years of pop music and of being in the music industry since 1954.[citation needed] became a top 40 Hit and popular again in 1989 when it got remixed and re-released.
Among the other musicians who played on the track were his brother Julian Scott (on bass), then-unknown keyboardist Wally Badarou, Canadian programmer John Lewis (who died of Aids in 1982) and backing vocalist Brigit Novik. When it was released in the UK in early 1979, it became a hit, reaching No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 1 in the US, after which MCA Records, the label which had released the single, requested he record an accompanying album.
New York • London • Paris • Munich was recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, at Queen's Mountain Studios, and using their regular engineer, David Richards as well as Julian Scott, Wally Badarou (who would later work with Stevie Winwood, among others) and Brigit Novik. Additional musicians on the LP included drummer Phil Gould (later of Level 42), Gary Barnacle on saxophone and flute, and (at the time) local Montreux resident David Bowie, who did occasional handclaps.
