About
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Modernism: A New Decade Released October 26, 1998 Recorded 1989 Genre Deep house Modernism: A New Decade is an album by the band The Style Council. It represented a departure from the band's core genre of pop, to a new one; deep house, which was then being referred to as "garage" (as in Paradise Garage) music by the UK press. However upon its completion in 1989, it was rejected by their label Polydor, which led to the band breaking up. It was eventually released in 1998 on the box set, The Complete Adventures of The Style Council. A separate release was released in 2001.

Sound DNA
- Electronic
Recorded in 1989 as the follow-up to "Confessions Of A Pop Group", but the band's label, Polydor, refused to release it, which contributed to the demise of the group.
At the time, remixed versions of 2 of the tracks, "Can You Still Love Me" & "Everybody's On The Run", made it onto b-sides of the singles "Promised Land" & "Long Hot Summer '89", respectively, and Paul re-recorded another track, "That Spiritual Feeling", as a solo artist in 1991.
The full album finally saw the light of day in 1998 as part of the The Complete Adventures Of (Europe 1998) (opens in a new tab) box set. 2 different vinyl versions, a single (opens in a new tab) and a double (opens in a new tab), were also manufactured to promote this. A CD (opens in a new tab) of the album was released 3 years later in Japan only.
