From Manchester with love, very likely one of the most misunderstood bands from the early eighties. Yes the doom & gloom of a decadent & despairing young quartet is very similar to where Joy Division were a year earlier, but this is good stuff, this is post-punk at it's best. If they can do it, so can we and we will try to be better.
From The Cradle To The Grave is dark & broody with poignant lyrics and a booming chorus, Four Minutes From The Frontline is JD's Interzone and Bauhaus' Third Uncle rolled into one, but the Bauhaus track came out two or three years later?
From The Cradle To The Grave : lovingly ripped from a 7" vinyl single released on Aural Assault Records (AAR 001) in 1980 to lossless FLAC for your aural pleasure.

Have been a bit worried about post (in)frequency lately but hope you wil continue to post for a long time. If i could be so free as to put in an request i would love to see the Win and Normil Hawaiians lp you alredy have posted in lossless.
brilliant selection here
ReplyDeleteDanke Schön, Merci Beaucoup, Muchas Gracias, Thank You, Grazi, Spasiba!
ReplyDeleteWasn't Third Uncle an earlier Brian Eno track (from Taking Tiger Mountain.. I think), that Bauhaus covered?
