Mittageisen - Automaten (1985)

In a bit of a dark mood today (not too different from any other day), so here's a sought-after darkwave 12" from Switzerland. Title track is a gem, featuring dark whispers and synths to perfectly suit your mood (or mine, whichever). Enjoy!

Track List:

A - Automaten
B - Neues China

Symbols - Voices (1982)

Really nice and obscure 12" from the US here. Starts a bit down-tempo and brooding with the title track, and picks up the tempo a bit through the b-side, while losing none of the mood. The early 80s really is a bottomless pit of outstanding gems... or so we hope... Enjoy!

Track List:

A1 - Voices
B1 - Speed of Light
B2 - Broken Promise

Near Paris - Untitled (1985)

This is probably one of the best obscure wave records to come out of the US. Highly sought after -- and for good reason. Four solid tracks of dark electronics, guitars, and female vocals. Unfortunately there are only 4 tracks on this, their only release. It certainly leaves you wanting more. Don't miss it. Enjoy!

(Update: Nov. 22, 2010 - there will be more!)

Track List:

A1 - Visions
A2 - Shattered Glass
B1 - Ceiling
B2 - Believe Me
