WEEKEND - La Varietè

Recently I posted a track from Young Marble Giants for the series dedicated to "great voices". Here is another post of that series. Allison Statton is still the voice; after the experience with Young Marble Giants, Allison move to Weekend. Unfortunatly this group only released one LP "La Varietè", some singles and demos. You can listen here to the LP  (1982) and some demos.
Enjoy

GITHEAD - Landing

Until few weeks ago this name was unknown to me but now is on the top of my playlist  (of this period). This is not surprising considering who the components are. COLIN NEWMAN (Wire) is a quality guarantee, MALKA SPIEGEL and MAX FRANKEN (from Minimal Compact) and ROBIN RIMBAUD complete the band.

They start in 2004 with the EP Headgit  and Landing (great ) 2009 is the last release. Really good

ELIZABETH FRAZER - This Love (Greig Amstrong)

I want to start here a series dedicated to "Great Voices" . I think that one of the best choice for this starting is Elizabeth Frazer. "This Love" is the song I post here. Probably there will be something also from Cocteau Twins discography in the next future. In the meantime you can free your mind with this jewel.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - snow (Hey-oh)

When the summer is coming with nice temperature, sunny days and ... wind OK. It's the time to bring your board  (winsurf ), take the car and drive  searching  for water  (sea or lake).  But you need one more thing......the right soundtrack!!!

 This is my proposal: RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS   the right classic to made your mind free and give you the energy you need.

SAVAGE REPUBLIC - the byrds of pork

Just one track from the LP "Customs " (1989). The atmosphere of this "the byrds of pork" is very special. A great sound from the best SAVAGE REPUBLIC.

SECTION 25 - PART PRIMITIV

Section 25 was one of  my favourite in the '80. "Always now " and "Key of Dreams"  1981-1982 two cult LP. It was not music for all. I tought Section 25 was just one of the many bands formed and disappeared in that  period. I discover on internet that  it was not so. Actually "Part Primitiv " released in 2007 in one of my favourite CD.
Here the link to the band website, and other...

THE HOUSEMARTINS - LONDON 0 HULL 4

Paul Heaton group was active officially from 1983 to 1988. London 0 Hull 4 was their first (of two)  LP. It was in 1986. Always compared to Smiths,  I'd like them and their "fresh and clean " music. After  Housemartins  broke up in 1988 I casually listen for the unmistakable Paul Heaton voice in a music store. The name of the band was  " Beautiful South" but that was another story......

This is the remastered edition:

From the italian fanzine " Rockerilla" 1986 :

THE ASSOCIATES - Fourth drawer down

How many emotions related to this sound.
The original LP is from 1981 but here is the CD release of 2000 with 5 additional tracks
"White car in Germany " is great. I saw The Associates live in a tour with The Cure  at Milan in 1985. It was not a big success but for me it was a great group.
