Still A House - Untitled Cassette (1986)

This is an ultra obscure, demo cassette for which I can find no information whatsoever beyond the year and country (UK). If there's anyone out there who can shed some light -- would love to hear from you. I've done my best to clean up the sound, but it's still pretty raw, as you'll see. Worth checking this one out, though. It's got that dark synth flavor we all know and love. Enjoy!

Track List:

A1 - I Want To Be With You
A2 - This House
A3 - Break It Up
A4 - Radio Active

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

Jean Conflict - Jean Conflict (1988)

Here we have a very rare new wave LP out of Israel by Jean Conflict. This really has a nice dark and ethereal sound to it, with great male and female vocals. Rami Fortis (vocalist) was also a member of Minimal Compact. This record contains the fairly well-circulated track "One Day I Smile" which has a video that I'll post below. The few copies that are out there have the file names/tags all messed up, so I cleaned this up for you guys (and gals). There are a couple of hops/skips, but it's good otherwise. Enjoy!

Track List:

A1 - Exercise
A2 - One Day I Smile
A3 - Staki Paki
A4 - Different Ways
A5 - Hunters
B1 - Special Guest
B2 - Pictures (Live)
B3 - Asuan (Live)
B4 - Reflection of Art (Live)
B5 - Wires (Live)

Soma Holiday - Shake Your Molecules (1984)


This one should indeed inspire you to shake your molecules to its ultra groovy, dance-floor ready beat. Jane Honicker lays down some of the best female vox you can find. Dark, creepy, and Siouxsie-esque at times. My copy of this is a little noisy here and there, but good enough. Enjoy!

Track list:

A - Shake Your Molecules (The Neutron Dance)
B - Too Many People (Version)
