New York–London–Paris–Munich
New York · London · Paris · Munich is the debut studio album by the English band M, released in 1979. Its title was taken from a line in the verse of the March 1979 hit single "Pop Muzik", an extended version of which is featured on the album. Alongside M founder Robin Scott, the album features future Level 42 members Phil Gould on drums, Wally Badarou on keyboards and Gary Barnacle on saxophone and flute.
Cash Box said of the single "Moonlight and Muzak" that it uses "synthesized electronic effects to create an airy Latin rhythm behind spoken vocals."
Record World said that the single "That's the Way the Money Goes" is a "loveable electronic dancer here that's sure to be a staple on AOR and the club circuit," particularly praising the keyboards.
