MISSING PERSONS - "Rhyme & Reason"

MISSING PERSONS - Rhyme & Reason" (1984) (from vinyl)



One of the greatest 80's new wave bands to ever grace the music world, in my opinion! This album is wonderful - rich, elaborate synth work, great driving rhythms and very well thought-out lyrics! 'Surrender Your Heart' and 'The Closer That You Get' are some of the best songs Missing Persons ever put out.

A must for any 80's fanatic! Enjoy!!



A1. The Closer That You Get
A2. Give
A3. Now Is The Time (For Love)
A4. Surrender Your Heart
A5. Clandestine People
B1. Right Now
B2. All Fall Down
B3. Racing Against Time

B5. If Only For The Moment

JULIE BROWN - "Big & Stupid / Homecoming Queen"

JULIE BROWN - "Big & Stupid / Homecoming Queen" (1982) (from vinyl)



A fantastic, hilarious single from legendary actress/singer/comedienne, Julie Brown! The Big & Stupid versions here are vastly different than the mix that appeared on the 'Trapped In The Body of a White Girl' album and the 'Earth Girls Are Easy' soundtrack. And of course 'Homecoming Queen' is and always will be a classic!

We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It!! - "Bostin' Steve Austin"

WE'VE GOT A FUZZBOX AND WE'RE GONNA USE IT!! - "Bostin' Steve Austin" (1986) (from vinyl)



I know I talk up a lot of the albums I post, but with this album, please please believe me when I say that this is one of my absolute most favorite albums in the world! Fuzzbox was an all-girl band out of the UK. They began as a super fun punk group and ended up a polished, glampop band. This is their first album, and in my opinion, their best.

A fuzzbox is used for distortion FX on a guitar, and aptly named, these girls do indeed have a fuzzbox and they are not afraid to use it! Every song on this album is pure gold - you owe it to yourself to check it out!

Taken from my own pristine vinyl, allow me to introduce the gals - Magz, Jo, Tina and Vic!

APHEX TWIN - "Melodies From Mars"

APHEX TWIN - "Melodies From Mars" (1995)



This is probably the weirdest Aphex Twin album I've heard. It was originally created for Richard D. James' friends at Rephlex and Warp Records, and was never released to the public. This one is sort of hard to explain. It's not exactly techno, it's more like really bizarre electronic compositions. Really really tripped-out, and indeed does sound like Martian melodies. Enjoy!!

This is a phenomenal remix album! Holy friggin cow! This will have you jumping around like a crazy person, whether you want to or not - it is infectious, hard, loud and fantastic!

X-DREAM - "We Interface"

X-DREAM - "We Interface" (2004)



Ahhh, X-Dream! I have been listening to them for as long as I have been listening to electronic music! Known in the past for their explosive psytrance and/or goa, X-Dream have completely broken through their pigeon-hole and set forth with a new sound, this time including a female vocalist who is known simply as Ariel. And apparently, the incredible electro duo are no longer going by the names Rough & Rush - they have unveiled to us, along with their new sound, their actual names - Marcus C. Maichel and Jan Muller!

X-Dream's new sound is hard to describe - but it is flat-out heavy, futuristic techno! Ariel's vocals are computer-synthed and hypnotic. There are some major monsters on this one, folks! Do not pass this one up!

ZOMBIE ZOMBIE - "A Land For Renegades"

ZOMBIE ZOMBIE - "A Land For Renegades" (2008)



I am in love with this album! Seriously. As a fellow horror-based electronic musician, I am always thrilled to death to hear other people who like to cross the two themes without getting all gabber/hardcore.

So supposedly the story with this album is that the sounds and patterns are meant to give give you the same emotional responses that you get from watching a really intense, horrifying movie. And to tell you the truth, that is exactly what it does! Not that this is really scary or dark, mind you! It is really dancey and the vocals are sometimes very catchy and memorable. That's what makes this album so clever!

I highly recommend this to other techno-horror hounds!

You might have noticed that I have moved both of my B-52's posts to the top of the blog again. Usually this is something I would have done for the simple reason that I am a borderline fanatic, but really I wanted it to tie in nicely with this simply AWESOME single from Chicks On Speed, which just happens to contain 3 really unique and interesting covers of 3 of my very favorite songs by the B's! Although, really, I could say that they are all my favorite...

This is really artsy technopop from Germany that quite often finds its way into my ears! If you like this, you should check out more albums from Chicks On Speed!

THE B-52'S - "Rare Stuff"

THE B-52's - "Rare Stuff" (1979 - 1989)



Here's a collection that I got about 7 years ago from a guy named Aaron in Denver who supposedly knows the B's. I only met him once, but he was a really neat guy. I think I might have scared him a little bit, but um... that's a different story... back to the music.

These songs are extremely rare and hard to find. Way more so than the Mesopotamia remixes I posted earlier. The first track is a wonderful version of 52 Girls, sung an octave lower than the version on their first LP. The second track, 'Don't Worry', was originally part of the "Whammy!" album from 1983, and was a cover of a Yoko Ono song. But the Wicked Yoko of the West sued them and made them take it off the album. So it was scrapped and replaced with 'Moon 83', which is an update/remix of their song 'There's A Moon In The Sky (Called The Moon)'.

Then, we have alternate versions (possibly remixes?) of 3 songs from "Mesopotamia". These are excellent versions, and I have absolutely no idea where they came from. Next is a song with the Ramones! A silly one called 'Chop Suey'. Silly good, not silly bad.

Then there's a couple of really neat DJ medlies, and 2 WICKED remixes of tracks from their first album, 'Planet Claire' and 'Rock Lobster'.



**I have no idea who did the remixes on these tracks, with the exception of DJ Soul Slinger's insane Jungle/Drum'n'Bass remix of 'Rock Lobster'. If you have ANY additional information, please contact me, because not only would I like to post it here, but for my own peace of mind as well.

2. Don't Worry
