The Unknown Beauty Of The 80's Vol. 77

It has been quiet for a couple of months concerning new volumes.
But behind the scenes I worked on several new volumes to reach hopefully the milestone Volume 80 this year.

 This Volume mainly was created through the searches for The Spleen radioshows and the references I received on Discogs. It turned out that checking the list of a seller can present you  quite some pearls. This searching filled a pool of potential new featured artists on the upcoming Volumes. But for these I take my time. I listen each Volume several times now, polish on the tracklist or simply replace a song when I am not satisfied.

 The final result of number 77, compared for 80% with the list I came up with in the first place. The track list:

 01. Absolute Body Control - The Man I Wanna Be (3:50)
02. Sacred Moment - Symphony (04:50)
03. Symbols - Speed Of Light (04:45)
04. La Mode - Diálogo (04:02)
05. Days Of Sorrow - Wild World (05:59)
06. Metro - America In My Head (05:42)
07. Diviacchi - Waiting For Heaven (vocal version) (07:03)
08. Final Acamdemy - The Collector (03:19)
09. Bill Nelson - Indescretion (04:37)
10. Colourbox - Say You (03:58)
11. Gaznevada - Ticket To Los Angeles (05:07)
12. The Comsat Angels - Mister Memory (05:18)
13. Patrik Fitzgerald - One Little Soldier (04:14)
14. A Popular Hisory Of Signs - House (03:25)
15. Berlin Blondes - Marseille (03:54)
16. Fall Of Saigon - On The Beach At Fontana (03:22)
17. Blitz - Solar (03:08)
18. Life - Tell Me (03:10)

Thank you, take your time with future releases, I have you bookmarked. Some of these are absolutely horrible, some gems... Funny how God made us different in what we appreciate musically. What I may hate, someone else will claim as a masterpiece.

BTW... Here is a gem never released on vinyl as far as I know... Circa 1988 the best I can determine... I put up a few other unreleased songs on YouTube... it ain't the best quality, but the fellow was nice enough to share stuff that never was released with me. Claimed to be in the band.

Torchomatic - So Far Away

Free download place (My Air Bridge) only last a few days... so I hope you see this in time to get it. No registration require.

An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Vol. 32

And that brings us to Volume 32 of An Introduction To Dutch New Wave. This time 65% of the numbers came from recent purchased vinyl. I will keep telling that Discogs has become a major resource for discovering and hunting vinyl from bands and artists, that sometimes released one single only. But since a couple of weeks I am using a great cross reference site called Nederlandse vinylsingles . The guys behind this site are doing a great job, tracking down all Dutch vinyl singles. Some information on several songs. The Kimono track is spelled wrong. I kept it this way, since the cover of the single shows the same title. It’s one of the groups of which I used the single b-side instead of the a-side. The others are Blackout (b-side of Obscure Disco), G.T. Modell (b-side of Scratch Your Act) and Weekend At Waikiki (b-side of The Valley). Frederic And The Flies was a one off project by producer duo Bolland and Bolland. Not only the group name refers to Adam And The Ants, t...

A Flock Of Seagulls

Being a fan for many many years I was really surprised the band decided finally, after 25 years, to do an European tour again. I am aware of the fact that it's only Mike Score nowadays who's left of the old line-up. Still I like to see them, because back in 1984 I was unable to visit the famous Noorderligt at Tilburg. On 09-09-09 A Flock Of Seagulls will play the well known Paradiso theatre in Amsterdam. I became an instant fan of the four when I heard I Ran on the radio. But it was Wishing (if I had a photograph of you) which really turned me into AFOS. Through the years I was able to track down most of their vynil releases. And of course the CD's followed as well. I even became a member of the Airborne Division. With the internet things changed and in 1996 I was able to get a CDR copy of most of the b-sides and rare recordings of AFOS ripped from vynil, which I like to share with you. The recordings are from the period 1982 - 1985 when they had the line-up of: Mike Score ...
