\nSignal Aout 42-\u00a0Pleasure and Crime<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(new rip)
\nU-Bahn X-\u00a0Young Hearts of Europe<\/em><\/a> (new rip, new 7”’ rip, + digitally inserting Jabba the Hutt on side B)<\/p>\n
Otherwise, sorry for slacking! \u00a0I have a bunch of new, unheard posts in the works, a new various artists compilation, as well as a few re-rips of classics from my own personal collection to keep us busy for the first part of the year. \u00a0So with that in mind, let’s kick the year off with a minimal synth classic that I\u00a0believe<\/em>\u00a0was posted before by the great BX, but has disappeared since. \u00a0I came across a cheap, sleeveless copy of this one in a dollar bin here in NYC, played it once or twice at WIERD, and promptly forgot that I had it until recently, when reorganizing and digitizing my 7”’ collection. \u00a0This one is a tried and true killer, a bizarre electronic romp from 1984 with thick synth bass, disco strings, and eerie female vocals. \u00a0The best analogy I can think of is dystopian disco- the kind of dance music that you’d\u00a0dance to in Blade Runner<\/em> or Logan’s Run<\/em>, for example… \u00a0The chorus is especially killer, and pays off in spades (human is so humorless-\u00a0<\/em>love that line). \u00a0Fans of JYL\/Angela Werner should also love this one. \u00a0The b-side is equally stunning, a more unsettling synth track with a flamenco flair and backwards masked vocal samples.<\/p>\n This is the only single Sally Patience released, and no one knows what happened to her afterwards… \u00a0Just a brief moment, as some of the best gems tend to be.<\/p>\n
