//click the image above for full album Man I have never wanted to reissue something so bad in my entire life. Released in 1982 on cassette only, UK synth pop band Solid Space set themselves apart from the other coldwave acts of the eighties by making sad and haunting ballads underlayed by stark drum machines. After Space Museum was released they seemed to vanish with a batch of tapes popping up every so often to be sold on Discogs for seventy bucks a pop. Message boards and old threads seem to have [...]

IN PHAZE RECORDS, 1982 // CASSETTE What a spectacular synth track from a largely unknown British new wave band called Solid Space ! Recorded in 1982 and only released on cassette. Reissue, anyone?
While I've only been actually reading blogs for a couple of years, I have my out-of-control RSS feed that harvests posts from more than 500+ blogs, the bulk of which are wordless entries that simply link to a Mediafire or Rapidshare of one or more albums. Most of these recordings are painfully obscure and never achieve virality, in spite of actually kicking ass and being way better than a lot of the crap that comes out nowadays. Not that I don't like new music, but, you know. Let's ... See more images from this post.

As you can see, I have been digging around for some older stuff and trying to expand my horizons lately. I came across this gem earlier today and I'm loving it. It's an atmospheric synth-pop tune reminiscent of Suicide and Cocteau Twins, originally found on the British band's only tape ...
Last time I checked in with minimal experimentalists Led Er Est , I wasn't wild about their performance, but knew, with that glint in each member's eye, that there was something special about them; that some rare talent and unique sound lay ripe for awakening. Well, last night, almost a year after I was first exposed to the band, everything clicked in its right place for a display of rare synthetic bliss. This particular performance precedes the anticipated release of the band's debut LP, Dust on Common , due out on Wierd Records this [...]
