After initially making waves in the underground dance scenes of Europe, their signing to Jive and the release of their debut album in 1982 led to heavy MTV rotation with their singles I Ran and Wishing, with the latter hitting the US Top 40 and the Top Ten in the UK. Growing out of the synth-heavy and ruthlessly stylish new romantic movement, Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards) along with his brother Ali (drums) Frank Maudsley (bass) and guitarist Paul Reynolds have transcended the music scene to become icons for the whole decade.Ī Flock of Seagulls may well be known for their bizarrely extravagant haircuts as much as their hit single I Ran, but legions of their fans from their early days, as well as those who have joined their musical cult in the years since, recognise that their musical influence on countless bands has been under-appreciated for far too long.

The recording puts a new and unique spin on their greatest hits by performing orchestral versions with the renowned Prague Philharmonic Orchestra providing the backing. For the first time since 1984, all four original members of A Flock Of Seagulls, one of the most iconic bands of the 1980’s appear on record together for their new album Ascension.
