Sudeten Creche - Kindergarten
Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on Illuminated Records (ILL 1712) in 1983 to high resolution 24-bit lossless flac. I am very sure Kindergarten is the most requested re-post/re-rip on these pages. I've relented,so here you are in 24/96 folks. It's especially for Rob in Holland who has very kindly contributed quite a bit recently to the blog. It seems eons ago when I first posted this as an MP3 .. how things have moved on since then!
Anyway, as always on Illuminated, this is not the greatest pressing, and it was quite dusty. After a good clean up, it has come out quite well. Before anybody mentions it, there is a drop out for a few seconds on B2's right channel but that's exactly how the record is. Copied from my original post...
A fairly obscure Illuminated Records release. Sudenten Creche were a British minimal wave combo from Tunbridge Wells (or not ..as it later transpired) who originally contributed to the same EP as Vince Clarke's first public airing as Yazoo (shared here a few years back).
Heavily influenced by bands such as Velvet Underground, (early)Talking Heads and Joy Division, they also loved early synth pop acts such as Depeche Mode, OMD, Cabaret Voltaire and Soft Cell. The result is a dark, yet simply melodic sound. Dance is anything but danceable ...unless you just root your feet to the floor and sway drunkenly on the dance floor. Enjoy!
