B5 Tara Cross & Unovidual – Microphone Connection

This collection of rare, electronic gems from the years 1979 - 1985 was released in May 2011 by the label Minimal Wave. This is such a treat of really good and really hard to find music. The original music and singles on this complilation fetches very high prices on the vinyl market.

The Hidden Tapes are compiled by Veronica Vasicka, a radio host on East Village Radio, DJ and founder of the label Minimal Wave. She specializes in obscure electronic music and has a passion to spread it to a broader public.

This is a really good example of her passion and this compilation is one of the best I've ever heard. What amazes me most is that alot of the songs doesn't feel dated at all. I would never guess that some of them are over 30 years old.

Its hard to pick favorites since all the material is both great and interesting. But the slighly mysterious song You don't know my name by Kym Amps is getting a few more plays on my iPhone then the rest. I also adore the song Care by Danish group SS-Say and the song Beli Dekolte by Oskarova Fobija from Yougoslavia.

This is just a must have if you're into electronic music, but be aware that you may develop a craving for the original recordings and a desire to learn more about Minimal Wave.

_A1 Breakout         
A2 Discord Dance        
A3 Good Times         
A4 Colour Coding         
A5 Fall         
A6 Breakout II        
B1 Countdown         
B2 News Peak         
B3 Twilight Zone        
B4 Superstition         
B5 The Promise

This one has been on my radar for a long time, and I'm really happy to finally have a copy in my collection. It's a rare record from a scottish band that existed between 1980 - 1982.

Drinking Electricity released six singles and one album during it's short existence. The sound is very timeless and very effective. I think this is a perfect example of post punk with the use of synths and drum machine. The unique singing by voclaist Anne-Marie Heighway is one of the key ingridients that makes this album special, and it's all about attitude and originality.

Overload has moments when the singing reminds me of Cia Berg from swedish 90's band Whale. Maybee Drinking Electricity was one of their influences. It has also been an influnce on Crystal Castles that sampled Good Times for their hit Good Time in 2008.

Overall a really good, calssic record, but Discord Dance and Good times stand out as personal favorites. This is music to be inspired and influnced by even today, 30 years later.

Found my copy at Tradera and payed 45,09€.

Anders F Rönnblom - Jag kysste henne våldsamt
Format: 7"
Stil: Pop, reggae
Label: Mercury

http://www.discogs.com/Anders-F-R%C3%B6nnblom-Jag-Kysste-Henne-V%C3%A5ldsamt-K%C3%A4rlek-Och-RockNRoll/release/1519333_

A  Jag kysste henne våldsamt
B  Kärlek och rock'n'roll

The song Jag kysste henne våldsamt is one of my all-time favorites. I never get tired of this song, and the lyrics just blows me away. So I am really happy to finally have this single in my collection.

Anders F Rönnblom is a hard working musician that never really got a break with the large audience. He has released more then 20 albums since the beginning of the 70's. His most known song is Det är inte snön som faller, an ironic christmas song, that was released by the magazine Schlager in 1980.

I found my copy at CD-centralen in Göteborg and payed 4,38 €.
