Label: Les Disques du Crepuscule
Format: LP
Year: 1984 Japanese dlb LP press
Condition: EX/EX
Classic collection of post-punk austerity, originally issued as a cassette in 1980 before eventually finding its way to a first vinyl pressing a few years later. A landmark comp kissed with the high-minded experimentalism of Factory’s more outre players, a distinctly European elegance rubbing up against northern Britain industrialism, and charged by a near-autodidactic approach to the avant garde. Harold Budd, Durutti Column, Richard Jobson, Gavin Bryars, Thomas Dolby, Eno +++ - the tracklisting speaks for itself. Wide reaching, struck with possibles, suggesting odd avenues of exploration we’re still walking down now. Essential? You better believe it. Note this is the alternative Japanese double LP press with an adapted tracklisting and running order.
