Passing Strangers - Nightdreams (1982)

Here's a rare 4-track 7" emerging from the early UK synth scene, a mere 30+ years later. You may remember the song 'Pain & Passion' from CN vol. 3, posted here. The band were, as you can see, a 4-piece, featuring Steve Deakin, Steve Long, Ian Davies, and the last member known simply as 'Flash'. The record was produced by Ken Patten who also had his hands on releases by Naughtiest Girl Was a Monitor, Vice Versa, and Spiral Visions. This one should appeal to fans of Soft Cell in particular as I can't help but think of Marc Almond on a few of these tracks. In any case, enjoy!

Track List:

A1 - I Don't Like The Way You Talk To Me
A2 - Shattered Glass
B1 - Pain & Passion
B2 - Nightdreams

Hey thanks for making this available to download! I've also noticed Ken Pattens connection with all those records, he was involved with a small group of really interesting, but marginal, releases - the B-side to the Spiral Visions 7" is really amazing as well. You don't have a download or at least some information on that other record he has production credits for on Discogs, Blue Ice "Beginning of the Ice Age" 7" ep on Vulcan Records in 1982?
