Special Guests
Rational Youth is a Canadian new wave Synth-pop band that was originally active between 1981 and 1986, and continues as a touring and recording unit.
Cold War Night Life is the 1982 debut album by Rational Youth, containing their greatest hit "Saturdays in Silesia". Long out of print, it was re-released by EMI on CD in 1997 after an e-mail campaign by fans. It was subsequently re-released by Universal Music in 2019.
Heredity is a 1985 album by Rational Youth, now down to singer Tracy Howe with numerous studio musicians. In retrospect, Howe was less than happy with the album, especially with the fact that it looked like he was using the Rational Youth name as a flag of convenience for a solo album. The use of the Rational Youth name was suggested by Capitol Records, to which Howe acquiesced. The album, while successful, appealed to a different audience than earlier Rational Youth fans, confusing the latter. To date, the album has never seen a CD release.
To The Goddess Electricity was Rational Youth's 1999 comeback album.
All Our Saturdays (1981–1986) is a retrospective CD compilation of Rational Youth songs. The CD booklet contains a discography, a band biography written by vocalist and band mastermind Tracy Howe, and Howe's comments to each track. As a result, Howe, whose e-mail address was also printed, received hundreds of mails from fans; positive feedback which ultimately led to the reunion of Howe and co-founder Bill Vorn.
"Everything is Vapour/Money and Blood" was the only single from Rational Youth's 1999 album To The Goddess Electricity, and the first entirely new material from the band since 1986.
Early Singles is a CD box with re-issues of Rational Youth's pre-Heredity singles and the eponymous EP. The box was released by Swedish label October Records in a limited edition of 600 copies.
The 20th Anniversary Collection is a 2001 compilation CD by the Canadian new wave synth-pop band Rational Youth, released to commemorate its 20th anniversary. It was their final release, followed by the group's breakup in February, 2002.
I Want to See the Light/Coboloid Race is the debut single by Rational Youth, released as a double A-side 12" single in October 1981.
Total Rational! is a Rational Youth compilation album, released by the Dutch label Rams Horn, who had previously released the Cold War Night Life album and some singles on license from YUL records.
Cité Phosphore is a single by Rational Youth, released in 1982.

Person(a) is a full-length studio album by Norman Iceberg. Recorded and mixed at Marko Studios in Montreal, it was released in 1987.
