Electropop
ElectropopSynth-pop

Mecano is a Electropop and Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Radio Futura, Los Toreros Muertos and Spandau Ballet. Those roots explain a lot about how Mecano arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Alaska y Dinarama, Miguel Bosé, Duncan Dhu, Hombres G and Daniela Romo, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Metro, Fey, Sarah Brightman, Belle Perez and Haggard, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 35 connections around Mecano, reaching back through Radio Futura and forward to Metro.
