TUXEDOMOON - Half Mute /Scream with a view (1986)

 

Recently, at a local fier, I had a copy of Half Mute by Tuxedomoon vinyl (1980).

Tuxedomoon was one of my favourite band in the '80 and luckily I have had the opportunity to see them live a couple of time before the dead of Peter Principle  (bass guitar  pillar of the band) some years ago.

You can see on this blog  some posts related to that live concert in Italy.

Here you can hear a mp3 version of a compilation that combine the original Half Mute tracks plus Scream with a view (4 tracks).

MARTINA TOPLEY BIRD - Forever I wait (2021)

 

This is not completely new but I listen to this again one of these days and I realized how good it is.

Martina is well known for her collaboration with Massive Attack and Tricky and the Trip Hop sound is easy to recognize.

Enjoy: Forever I wait

VANISHING TWIN - The Age of Immunology (2019)

 

Vanishing Twin are  considered an Indie-esotheric-psychedelic band. This "The Age of Immunology" was  their first album (The third one "Afternoon X" just released in 2023).

Different influences from different geographical areas in their sound (components of the band are from different countries).

The result is a very interesting mix.

BLUR - The Magic Whip (2015)

 

I never care about this band in the past but recently I listen to some of them works after the release of the new 2023 LP. I was specially inpressed by this "The Magic Whip" released in 2015  but I am still discovery the early production.

Sometimes you have to take a look back to make sure you haven't missed anything important.

THE ASSOCIATES - Mix

 

One of my favourite band of the '80. Both components Billy Mackenzie and Alan Rankine died at different times but their music lives on.

Here a collection of mp3 with main of the 12" and mix released in the years .

I collected from different blogs and converted to mp3 just for easy listening. Some of these pieces are real milestones like "white car in germany" or the cover of Blondie "Heart of Glass".

THE CELIBATE RIFLES - Platters Du Jour (1990)

 

Between '80 and '90 there was what I call the "Australian wave". A lot of bands with a common sound of "fresh" Rock'n Roll-Garage-Punk.

The main characteristics were simple and catchy tracks and above all with a lot of energy. Drums and guitars  in absolute evidence. Some of these bands were already on this blog (Hoodoo Gurus, Visitors..).

Recently I bought a copy of this double LP in a local vinyl street market. Here a digital copy taken from the web.

OREGON - Friends (1977)

 

In the last years we saw a revival of vinyls and a decline of CDs.

It is quite common to have flea markets or fairs every month or more often. Sometime I like to go there mainly to observe and to enjoy leafing through the old covers (this is the real pleasure).

Sometimes I carried away and buy some vinyls (even costs are now quite high).

It is the case of this "Friends " from OREGON dated 1977. (other posts on this blog). Here you can listen to a CD captured version from the web.

Oregon= friends

DEEP TAN - Creeping Speedwells (2021)/ Diamond Horsetail (2022)

 

The first time I listen to this my mind came back to '80 and minimal sound of "Young Marble Giants" ( I need to repost it).

Of course there are differences  (in 40 years is quite normal) but emotions are nearly the same.

Good start for this interesting band from London. I realize they also open the "Bodega" tour recently and this is a good business card, too.
