Madness, prince du ska, roi de la pop
By pure chance I stumbled upon this documentary about the band Madness. I'm not an unconditional Madness fan, but their debut album is one of the few records of that era I still own and enjoy listening to once in a while. The documentary looks at the beginnings of the band, the infusion of reggae and ska in British pop, the two-tone label and the success that followed. Lots of interviews, lots of live footage, and the social backdrop of the early 80s that has determined so much in British culture since. Really interesting, and great music (obviously).
