\nUploading this one for a friend and figured I’d toss it up here as well. This particular release is an unofficial collection\/torrent comprising of all the Reset Records<\/strong> 12 and 7 inches. For those unaware, Reset Records was formed by Vince Clarke<\/strong> (Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure) and Eric Radcliffe<\/strong>, a collaborator and famed Mute Records producer. The releases are synth-based, as one might expect from the interests of the label’s founders.<\/p>\n

Now for the contributors. Robert Marlow <\/strong>(real name Robert Allen), who released seven different slabs of wax for Reset, has a long history with Mute\/Sire records. He played guitar with Alison Moyet in a punk band in ’77, and also appeared alongside Vince Clarke and Martin Gore in French Look, before Depeche Mode was officially formed. Marlow still makes music today under various monikers, including Marlow.<\/p>\n

Peter Hewson<\/strong>, who released but one 7”, was a member of seventies glam\/pop band Chicory Tip.<\/p>\n

Hardware<\/strong> is a pseudonym for Radcliffe’s own music, and not much is known about Absolute<\/strong>, but I would love to hear more about them if anyone is in the know.<\/p>\n

The compilation also contains a rare 12 and 7 inch release by Twilight<\/strong>. Twilight featured Erasure’s tour manager Andrew Mansi<\/strong> and future Nitzer Ebb tour manager Steev Toth<\/strong>. Though the record was released on Polydor, makes sense to collect it here due to Clarke’s production. Otherwise, without any further ado, here’s the tracklisting for the compilation:<\/p>\n
