Release of our third single THINGS (THE BALLAD OF ADAM AND STEVE)
on June 28, 2023 we will release our third single.
Adam and Steve are the protagonists of our new single. THINGS (THE BALLAD OF ADAM AND STEVE) is the morality of two gay men in a world that still doesn’t naturally have equal rights.
Like the electronic pop music the NSM represent, gay and lesbian oppression was ubiquitous in the 1980s, peaking in Britain in 1988
CLAUSE 28 passed by Thatcher government in 1988, banned the “promotion of homosexuality by local authorities”, which meant that in all areas of public life only negative reports about homosexuality could be reported. Musicians and bands like Jimmy Somerville, Boy George or Chumbawamba vociferously resisted the inhuman legislation. However, CLAUSE 28 was only abolished 20 years ago in 2003.
NSM release THINGS (THE BALLAD OF ADAM AND STEVE) on June 28th, 2023, on the 54th anniversary of the Stonewall riots on Christopher Street in New York. The largest emancipation movement of the LGBT movement began on this day. The goal has not yet been reached. Love wins.
You can get THINGS (THE BALLAD OF ADAM AND STEVE) on all streaming platforms. The song appears as always in an extended version. We also have remixes by MERRY CHICKLIT, POS.:2, ROB DUST and WHITE NOISE TV for you. There is also a new version of our second single TWISTED MIND in a Re.Mind remix.

NEON SPACE MEN – the last chapter of 80s synth pop
Imagine the 80s. Basildon. Manchester. Sheffield. The drum machine rattles the quantized beat. The synthesizer bubbles the bass line and a falsetto voice sings romantic-mystical lyrics in hymn-like melodies.
Synth pop conquered the world in the eighties and still creates the basic understanding for the perfect pop song today. NEON SPACE MEN stand for exactly that!
Jochen, Uwe and Oliver. Three synthesizer enthusiasts from Germany. They’re not from Basildon, Manchester or Sheffield. They come from Stuttgart, Hanover and Leipzig. They have been NEON SPACE MEN since 2022.
