    And finally an early track called " Baader Meinhof " you have been warned!

    Review Cabaret Voltaire

    This is a bit earlier still and is dark weird but the beginnings of commerciality for the band.

    Review Cabaret Voltaire

    So now, going a little earlier in time we have a track called "Kino" , Japanese for sex, it's almost hard work watching this video, a collage of nightlife clips and a dark driving soundtrack.

    Review Cabaret Voltaire

    An amazing band that started in the late 70's from Sheffield in northern England. Their early stuff was deeply impenetrable , anarchistic wall of sound , debateable whether it was even music. Into the late 80's and 90's they moved to more accessible but heavy , very heavy dance or synth stuff...

    Review Aztec Camera

    Loved all the albums, Roddy Frame is a very talented writer. The solo stuff, I'm not so keen, however the latest offering " Seven Dials" is pretty good. Stray is probably my favorite album, the track " Good Morning Britain" a particular favorite.

    Review The Blue Aeroplanes

    Bristol's finest band, and an extraordinary one too. Lead singer Gerard Langley regarded as poet as well as singer. Their songs have a poetic feel to them, and I believe they did art works as well as music. Also have a band member who doesn't play any instruments, sing, or write stuff, but...

    Review The Dukes of Hazzard (1979 - 1985)

    I've got to admit a soft spot for this. True, the stories were pretty repetitive but enjoyable with fantastic car chases, Roscoe was a laugh, but most of all ......Daisy Duke

    Review The Comsat Angels

    It's really frustrating and depressing when certain bands just get no airtime or breaks that others get. When "You Move Me " came out I thought it had big hit potential. But sadly not....or is it me? Perhaps this is pants!

    Review The Comsat Angels

    This also from the Sleep No More album. It's got a wonderful driving chord, simple but effective.

    Review The Comsat Angels

    This is a tremendous live track " Be Brave" from.their second album " Sleep No More" regarded as possibly their best work even though it's quite uncommercial and guitar "wall of sound" style.

    Review Devo

    This is a band that baffles me. Their early stuff was traditional sort of rock then they changed to new wave synthesizer band, then disco, and their recent cd " something for everyone" was a mix of all three. But they're always listenable and FUN. No harm in that, a fun band who don't take...

    Review Michael J Bird's The Aphrodite Inheritance (1979)

    Following on from the success of Michael J Bird's Who Pays The Ferryman , his next eight part serial was this Cypriot themed drama. With Peter McEnery and the delectable Alexandra Bastedo and Brian Blessed. Bastedo was great in The Champions and twelve years later she still looks gorgeous in...

    Mmm? This is new. A track I don't know from a live show this month in London. A new album coming perhaps.
