After living in a post-fire bedroom for the past month, the smell of the water from the fire brigade is making me feel one of two things. 1, A little sick and 2, depressed. So of course this would lead me to listening to cold wave. Martin Dupont drew mostly from post punk and Goth (of course). With a typical echo Goth beat, dark wave synth fuzz and vocals vibrating up and down sit just perfectly. I am a little scared however that all this dark/cold/goth wave is creeping to close to industial techo. Im hoping tastes don't evolve to this, Its a thin line... ie. [...]

After many years of musical obsession completely removed from a record player, my pile of vinyl now grows incrementally, aided by the quality LP sellers of New York City. Baubles from the treasure chest will be posted here whenever it seems appropriate... The Minimal Wave vinyl reissue label continues to do the lord's work by exhuming all manner of European synth pop that's been forgotten by all but the most dedicated and marginally obsessed. One of their most beautiful releases of late (and wow, just look at the above painted cover by Lorenzo [...]
As with my Starter Guide on Post-Punk last month, this article was inspired by an attempt at making a definitive genre-oriented playlist (see the finished product at RYM Ultimate Box Set > Coldwave ), which in turn was kicked off by hearing a track in the DJ set that Horrors members Tom and Rhys had put together for VICE , which turned out to be "Person to Person" by The (Hypothetical) Prophets. Introduction to Coldwave : Coldwave is a French and Polish-dominated [...]
Martin Dupont : Full Discography reedited on CD ( Infrastition ) More than 2 decades after their 3 cult albums released from 1984 to 1987 (Just Because, Sleep is a Luxury & Hot Paradox), French band Martin Dupont ( Alain + Brigitte + Beverley from Marseille) has become a true myth amongst a few "wave" afficionados & other music fans. With its introspective lyrics and haunting instrumelos, the band is not just another great French coldwave outfit of its time...their music has got that touch of cerebrality (see [...]
