This week we revert to form with a solid block of early 80’s synth pop to loosen us up. Your life is not complete without Data’s Opera Electronica!
Brand newbies from Gang Gang Dance via TV on the Radio, Sleeper’s wall of bent American sound and Ninja Tuner Yppah get the balance right again and set the stage for some praeter-Teutonic EBM/industrial stomping from the other side of the Iron Curtain. Downer curtains close with some horribly hate-y humans and two beautiful slabs of vinyl co-released by Touch in the UK and Autofact in the US.
It’s a travelogue!
