The Normal
The Normal is the recording artist name used by Daniel Miller, who is best known as the founder and owner of the record label Mute Records.
Although Miller founded Mute with the intention of releasing his own music, he only ever released one 7" vinyl single under the name The Normal, namely "Warm Leatherette"/"T.V.O.D.", in 1978.
Both tracks were minimalist electronic songs using a Korg MS-10 analog synthesizers, and a Revox, B-77 tape machine. This single was recorded in Daniel Miller's living room. Although it did not enter the UK charts, the single was influential on the post-punk/electronic music scene in the UK at the time.
The lyrics for "Warm Leatherette" referenced J.G. Ballard's novel Crash. The song has since been covered by artists Grace Jones and Chicks on Speed.
