CD "R.O. MAGIC: THE BEST OF R.O. MANSE" IS BEING RE-RELEASED ON 2 December, 2008" VIA aspecialthing RECORDS. IT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON ITUNES AND OTHER MUSIC SERVI. "COP IT!" , AS THE KIDS SAY.
R.O. Manse burst from the working class UK town of Bonkashire in 1980 like a big bag full of water that got too big and had to burst!
His style of New Wave still sounds futuristic, here, in the present, if that is indeed possible!
He is currently touring all over the United States! But mostly in his adopted second home, Los Angeles!
His albums "Danse, Chanse, Romanse", "Love Traction" and "Danse Romanse" are the gold standard amongst discerning fans of New Wave Romantic music who have trouble discerning.
He is not gay. He has a wife and two children who reside in Bonkashire, a suburb of London located three and a half hours outside of London.
R.O. Manse enjoys a big glass of milk and a nice slice of Cherry Crumble before watching the news on BBC 189 and retiring.

Hi R.O. Manse, thanks for continuing to be a friend of Electroflex.
Some important news!
Electroflex have been back in the studio following a break from gigging and recording with new track ‘Computer Virus’.
This is the first of a series of new releases for 2009, and what better day to start on than Liz’s Birthday!
‘Computer Virus’ is a live favourite. Anyone forced to work with computers will know how evil they are and this track is Electroflex’s response to Kraftwerk’s ‘Its More Fun to Compute’. It is a bouncy number with a serious bassline, sing-along chorus and a selection of curious samples.
The track will only be up on Myspace in full for a short time. Alternatively, visit our Facebook and iLike pages where you can add the song to you playlists
