Hello Vegetables
Huzzahs, a flagon of mead, and a turkey leg for all the attention being paid to late 70s/early 80s synth music these days. Scholars and historians agree that the late 70s and early 80s were the most exciting time ever for music. The most recent collection of this stuff to enter my brain is Angular Records ' Cold Waves and Minimal Electronics Vol. 1 , which shares a track (Ruth's "Polaroïd/Roman/Photo") with another one of my go-to compilations, BIPPP: French Synth Wave 1979-85. Angular's got a blog about this [...]

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across an underground '80s synth movement sometimes referred to as "minimal wave" and for some reason, decided it was amazing. My uncontrollably impulsive late-night nature subsequently led me to go out and buy Cold Waves + Minimal Electronics Volume One , a new compilation of previously buried tracks which dropped last month courtesy of Wierd Records (ego note: it's meant to be "ie" in this instance...ahem) and Angular Recording Co. After marvelling at the beautiful digipak artwork and deciding I was definitely going to watch Tron later, I shoved the [...]

sunday is for sounds
I've put together a mix of various minimal and cold wave, synth punk, some old some new, a lot of which has been covered endlessly by 20JFG . Regardless, in keeping the current revivalist spirit this type of anemic, eastern blockist, psuedo-fascist dance music is sounding hyper fresh, at least for the next coupla months. It's a very specific sound, with an unforgiving, axiomatic stance that can get old quick. But it's also a type of wild posturing whose freedom lies in it's restrictions. Frowns welcome. Câlin - [...]

I have a sort of love/hate relationship with this time of year. As much as I loathe the commercialization of the holidays, the sheer amount of banal-camp-kitsch that celebrates this season makes my heart fill with love. I think Charlie Brown sums up my feelings exactly: Charlie Brown - Xmas Depression I told myself not to post Xmas related junk to ARAWA, but I just couldn't resist the temptation. I apologize ahead of time for the next several posts. The season is upon us and I can't help myself. and [...]

absolute body control - "is there an exit?" (download) I actually just stumbled on these guys recently. Absolute Body Control was the first significant project of Dirk Ivens and Eric Van Wonterghem, who later went on to be a part of bands like D.A.F. , Dive , Klinik and Sonar . They were mainly active from 1979-1984, but have since re-formed (in 2006) and re-recorded a lot of their classics for a release called WIND(RE)WIND . Their stuff is very much in the Joy [...]

Continuons sur la lancée de notre post précédent avec quelques reprises illustrant l'importance qu'ont eue les artistes glam dans le développement des mouvements post-punk , cold wave et gothique au tournant de la décennie 1980. Que ce soit en vinyles ou en affiches, Marc Bolan , Bryan Ferry , David Bowie et consorts ont abondamment nourri l'imaginaire de la nouvelle génération : si les moyens d'expression choisis différaient, l'énergie rock brute héritée du punk demeurait la même.

Bien que la plupart des groupes cold wave du début des années 1980 n'aient fait que passer sur la scène musicale le temps d'un 73 ou deux, quelques uns se distinguent par un réel talent et une créativité qui leur a permis d'acquérir une certaine longévité. Parmi ceux-ci, nous vous présentons aujourd'hui Absolute Body Control , une formation belge de plus à ajouter au palmarès. Avec un style musical sombre, minimal et épuré comme il se doit, ces jeunes émules de Kraftwerk on réussi à faire paraître et diffuser trois excellents albums, tous sur cassette [...]

Vangelis, Opera Sauvage (Polydor 1979) Pretty close in mood to his Blade Runner soundtrack, gives off a blurry and rain-streaked Wong Kar-Wai type of feel.
