Today&#8217;s request was for Camera Obscura&#8217;s <i>Horizons of Suburbia<\/i> LP, a synth\/wave gem from 1983. Well&#8230;not quite. These ten tracks were recorded fifteen years ago but remained unreleased until 2005. Previously, the only documented Camera Obscura releases were a 7&#8221; single and a lone compilation appearance.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, there seem to be several bands bearing the same name, including a rather prominent indie pop group. This particular Camera Obscura, however, consisted of Nigel James and Peter Oldroyd and hailed from the UK. The band formed in 1982 and soldiered through record label hardships until 1987, when the band when on indefinite hiatus. In 2005, however, Nigel and Peter dusted off their old material and took to playing shows throughout Europe, meanwhile releasing this lost classic as well as a live record and re-recorded single material. All recent Camera Obscura material has been released by German label Anna Louge Records.<\/p>\n<p>Details:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/2008\/02\/camera-obscura-horizons-of-suburbia-lp\/cameraobscura\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4410\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4410\" src=\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/cameraobscura-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/cameraobscura-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/cameraobscura-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/cameraobscura.jpg 416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Camera Obscura- <i>Horizons of Suburbia<\/i> LP (2005)<br \/>\n1.
