Theme – Conflict/Sacred 7”
This literally just arrived in the mail a few hours ago, and went straight to the turntable to be digitized. Here we have the lone single from Scottish post-punk band Theme from 1982. A double A-side if you will. “Conflict” has a bit of a B-Movie/The Sound vibe (it’s the classic Roland string synth that always kills me), while “Sacred” has a very early Echo & the Bunnymen sound. Classic post-punk, through and through!
Not much more to say about this one other than…Enjoy!

I hear a lot of the first New Order album on Conflict.
Oh, I have a Roland RS-09 in my synth rig downstairs. Yeah, that sound …
I have a Waldorf STVC for live work, so the Roland doesn’t get bashed around. It’s great, and does that sound really well, but it’s not the same.

Sacred is what Echo & The Bunnymen would have sounded like if Pete Burns had been singing
