Space Art

Check this insanely good painting by the very talented Jeremy Geddes - you can see it at higher resolution at his website, and his blog is also definitely worth checking for some more incredible images.

Here's a different kind of space art... see what I did there? This is the B-side to the awesome 'Nous Savons Tous' single (originally from the 'Trip In The Center Head' LP, 1977), released in 1978 on IF Records.

Do It To The Max

Fans of Greame Clark (The Revenge, OOFT) and Craig Smith's collaborative work as 6th Borough Project will instantly recognise this one. Xavier's 'Do It To The Max', released in 1982 on Liberty, as a single and then featuring on the LP 'Point of Pleasure'. The insane music video is well worth a watch too.

Systems Breaking Down

Explorer

My three favourite cuts from Tony Carey's 'Explorer' LP, released in 1982 on German label X Records. Those familiar with his 'Yellow Power' LP will recognise these - 'Explorer' is pretty much the same album but in a less refined demo format.


Explorer - Enjaw J


Explorer - No. 8


Explorer - No. 14

Views of the Rhine

Happy new year to all!

Let's kick off 2010 with this brilliant piece of anthemic new-wave synth-pop from Kevin Harrison. Instrumental cut from the 1982 EP 'Fly' released on Glass Records.

Special Treatment

I started this edit a couple months ago and never quite got round to finishing it until recently. Boogie-funk with an electro flavour at 105 bpm. From the 1983 album 'Joey' on the Matra/Unidisc label.

No G.D.M.

Here's a little something I did the other day, Gina X's 'No G.D.M.', dubbed out and re-arranged. Euro synth-pop with a light-hearted edge and a huge vocoder chorus.
