I Start Counting - Million Headed Monster

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on Mute Records (12 MUTE 95) in 1989 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. ISC go all squelchy in this fine pop-house remix of Listen. Unleashed again from the vinyl vaults of blog follower Penguinflight. Those who prefer their synthpop a little more trad, will love the wonderful ten minute AA-side

Cooler Than Calcutta

I Start Counting - My Translucent Hands

Ripped from a clear vinyl album released on Mute Records (STUMM 30) in 1986 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. You have to feel sorry for I Start Counting as they were forever in the shadows of Depeche Mode and Erasure on Mute - your blogger thinks they offered a lot more creatively than their two successful label mates. The choice of Catch That Look as a single was clearly pitched at the DM audience, whereas if the radio friendly You And I had ever been allowed a single release in its own right, then perhaps a wider audience would have appreciated the band which was eventually to become Fortran 5. Thanks to blog follower Penguinflight for his donation of these fine works.

I Start Counting - Catch That Look

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on Mute Records (12 MUTE 49) in 1986 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. As I said earlier, possible the wrong track was on the A-side?
