The Imitators were an 80's techno/dance band that drew on the basic new wave sound that was in the air at the time. The group's incluences ranged from Psychedelic Furs ("The Kingdom of Heaven is within you,"Idol") to The Cars ("Got to feel the fire," "I'll keep holding on"). The song "Children of the Lie" attracted some attention for what CCM called "adventurous lyrics." It describes two young people having sex in the back set of a car: "They're into the Bible / She's using it for a pillow/ He's moaning, Oh God."Awesome! The Imitators is one of those bands that uses the keyboard cleverly. Melodic Synth lines in the vein of Mike Score of A Flock of Seagulls. . . . really good band that we would surely missThis Demo Sound As The Imitators were an 80`s Synth/Alternative Rock band reminiscent of The Simple Minds....

Please contact me re: The Imitators EP. I cannot find my old cassette copy anywhere (though I do have the "Once And For All" LP). I am just looking for a digital copy. Would you be willing to sell or trade mp3s?

Many thanks,

mps

Hello, I'm Phil Mason's son-in-law. I'm not sure they actually have anything in digital or mp3 format. We have a couple of vinyls. I can check with Phil to see if he has anything on CD. I do need to see about putting their music on iTunes or something.
