Colin Newman - Commercial Suicide
Ripped from a compact disc released on Crammed Discs (CRAM 045CD) in 1986 to high quality lossless flac audio. In another thread comment, a blog reader pointed out that most of Colin Newman's solo efforts are to get a vinyl and cd reissue later this year. For that reason I'll skip ...Singing Fish and Not To... and jump on a couple of years to the more obscurely orchestral Commercial Suicide which is not up for a re-release. I have always felt these tracks would have been better received if recorded with a traditional four piece band rather than mostly synths and strings - but then again, it would probably sound like Wire? The album also features considerable contributions from Minimal Compact's Malka Spigel. If there is demand I'll also dig out a copy of It Seems for later.

Demand for 'It Seems', and some more Minimal Compact...
ReplyDeleteMany years since I've heard this. Thank you so much! I believe it was a deliberate step away from trad rock band arrangements, thus the LP title. The results were flawed but as fascinating as anything that Colin Newman has created, and his ambition here is admirable.
