Strange Advance
Strange Advance was a Canadian new wave band formed in 1982 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They were nominated for a 1983 Juno Award as Most Promising Group of the Year and again in 1985 as Group of the Year. Their 1982 album Worlds Away was a Canadian gold selling record.
History
Strange Advance was initially made up of Drew Arnott (keyboards, percussion, vocals), Darryl Kromm (lead vocals, guitars), and Paul Iverson (bass). The three met in Vancouver and founded the group in 1980. Initially called Metropolis, they were forced to change their name after discovering a band in Germany using "Metropolis."
The group's first album, Worlds Away featured the title track, "Worlds Away," which saw modest airplay in North American markets in 1983. The album was produced by Bruce Fairbairn, known for his work with Loverboy and Prism, but featured a very different sound from those groups. Rather than commercial hard rock, Strange Advance's music was a fusion of progressive rock and new wave, with a heavy reliance on synthesizers and keyboards.

The Best
by: Strange AdvanceIchi ni san shi I called her up but all I got from her was lies She said she's busy I should call some other time Well here I am again I walk the lonesome way But aye aye it's okay I watch the dancers through the windows of my eyes One girl in all the world I'd trade my love for life The music's in my head I spin under the light I sing, aye aye it's alright Chorus I knew that we could be the right two I knew the second that I saw you Real love won't let me down the end of a long day And when the sun goes down you know it's time to play Like the tide we'll dance all night and make love through the day Sing it, aye aye it's okay Lose your love, let go Second chance you'll turn around you'll see me I know Chorus
