Much of the music I upload onto my blog I also add to my YouTube account and indeed a lot of music I don’t blog ends up there too. In many ways it’s a little simpler and less time consuming uploading music to YouTube and the feedback is better too. So subscribe to my YouTube channel or just keep visiting (the link is always up there on the top right) for a busier experience.
They must have shipped lots of US cut-outs of this LP to this UK at some point because it turns up with great regularity. Grab one if you see one though. Great Italo disco from Montreal, Canada.
I’m somewhat bewitched by Tunng’s version of Kraftwerk’s ‘The Hall Of Mirrors’ (from ‘Trans-Europe Express’ – you need it); a rather beguiling blend of psychedelic folk and modern electronics. It was recorded as part of Paul Morley’s ‘Showing Off…’ series in The Guardian and you can find a higher quality version there although both versions only play out of the right hand speaker.
Leslie Ash era Tube (I guess from about 1983); decent footage too with Arthur Baker, The Peech Boys, The Rock Steady Crew, Quando Quango and visits to the Paradise Garage, Danceteria and The Roxy.
French electronic LP issued in 1979 (although my copy is a UK pressing from 1982). It features the glorious ‘Cercle’ which is electronic funk at it’s finest.
Loving this electronic music mix from Will Clarke.

I love ‘Selected Sound’. There’s a bunch of killer tracks throughout those copper coloured LPs.
First up the Berry Lipman penned ‘Act Of Treat’ from ‘Action & Tension & Space’. Monster synth riff, funky drums, stabs – a huge record. Still uncomped and unsampled I think.
Rex Brown Company – Act Of Threat
Then there’s Klaus Weiss’ super dusted moody synth cut ‘Survivor’ from His sought after ‘Time Signals’ LP. Electronic funk has never sounded so good.
