Interesting mix, compilation of late 70’s-early 80’s bands, most of which represent well the limbo that many artists were experiencing being hung between the accessibility of tidal New Wave and their artful, abandonment of production/melody, sentiments. Unfortunately, a lot artists of the day ended up simply sounding like bad knock-offs of something good from the UK. Good news is that few of those bands are on this CD, most are really good and some are truly excellent, their rare tracks finally making it to a public forum (this is one of the only cds where you will find Culturcide). Cool document, great stuff. 1) skronky w/ sax, buried tom beat, nowave from a demo, beefheart comes to mind for sure 2) ¾ waltzy early LA art music, melodic, nice noise outro 3) glammier, east coast new wave art rock feel a la Television 4) lower fi art rock, old New Order feel maybe 5) simple low fi casio w/ guit, treated vocs, mellow and pleasant 6) simple casio, dark tone, instrumental 7) chill dark, 4AD This Mortal Coil feel 8) disjunct guit and beat, fuzzed vocs, “artwave” 9) new wavey, fairly minimal, keyboards and beat turns full on pogo, great lyrics 10) artwave, casio beats w/ melodic vocs but with noisy guit counterpoint 11) simple new romantic mix w/ dissonace 12) urgent rockin w/ slight twang 13) female vocs, slits/lilliput-like 14) saxaphone gives this a Laura Logic feel 15) cool dark feel, female electronoise rock pre-proto-electroclash 16) FCCs at end, near end, Culturcide track from Year One LP 17) upbeat synth rock, dark tone 18) dated, pretty 80’s sounding, synth feel 19) dark synth rock, near goth feel 20) brief synth track | ||
