Ans: Nothing...https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/10701086-Orbits-Q-What-Ans-Nothing , which shot instantly to number one on the local release chart at the Boston FM station WBCN, and stayed there for 3 months. Their first hit song was "7 Digits Away"; the release included other synth pop songs like "Rockette", "Atomic Love", "Surprise on You" (previously a Third Rail hit), and "Rear View Mirror". Most of the aforementioned tracks had regular airplay on Boston FM and college radio. The band received regular major label scrutiny and courted management by Bill Aucoin (of KISS and Billy Idol fame), but disbanded due to internal strife. </video> <video> The Nasdats - Home Is Where The Heart Description: Uk (Wakefield)/1980.

Bob Heatlie - Keyboards, Saxophone, Vocals. New Wave / Pop-Rock group from Edinburgh (and Dundee), in Scotland. On their formation in 1977, they were originally called Badger, but soon decided to change their name. Despite several attempts between 1979 and 1982, they only managed to chart once in the UK with the single 'The Shape Of Things To Come' reaching a high of no.45 on 14th October 1979. The band is best known for its single, "The Shape of Things to Come", which entered the UK Singles Chart on 22 September 1979. The track spent eight weeks on the chart, reaching number 45. This secured the band an appearance on Top of the Pops on 11 October 1979, the debut show for host Andy Peebles. The group released an album in 1979 on Robert Stigwood's RSO label, which was produced by Peter Ker (who also worked with The Motors, and Bram Tchaikovsky). The lack of any other UK chart hit left them labelled as one-hit wonders. In 2013, the band announced on their Facebook page that the ten tracks they had recorded for a follow-up album, but which remained unreleased, would be issued on CD under the title The Lost Album by the American record label, Pop Detective Records. </video> <video> The Choice - Strange Description: Us (New York)/1983.
