Venus In Furs- Platonic Love & Other Stories LP

Not much more info I can give today, but as promised, here’s the first official LP by UK electronic/post-punk band Venus In Furs (released in 1984). Managed to acquire the rest of the band’s discography, but am missing *one* track from Soft Life. Speak up if you’ve got it. Otherwise, on to the music:

Venus in Furs- Platonic Love & Other Stories
1. Fallen Statues
2. That First Wild Kiss
3. Majordomo
4. Entracte/Zurich 1924
5. His Master’s Voice
6. Platonic Love
7. Waltz Of The Venus De Milo
8. Achilles Brain
9. Snowscape
10. The Challenge

  2. Ooooh, thanks. I’m thrilled! I heard something by them on some mix or other somewhere and was interested in hearing more. And now here it is! You always seem to have the stuff I’m trying to find more of. It’s uncanny.

  3. How about you Frankie? I am trying to find where to track down the albums by a band called ‘Incubated sounds’. Maybe not your cup of tea, but is worth the cahllenge,eh? Im haveing problems finding more than about four tracks, though they did have like 3 albums.

  7. Thanks for this record “Systems”. Absolutely great stuff indeed. “Falling Statues” is an anthem in its own right. Waiting for some for of the Venus In Furs in the future 😉

    You don't mention which Soft Life track you're missing. Word is that VIF will be releasing a new 'best of' compilation this year. There will be some trax from 'S.L' on this.
    Glad you love VIF. Me too.Love from Laurie X
