Parade Ground - Dual Perspective
Format: 12" EP
Style: New wave, Synth
Label: Play it again Sam records

http://www.discogs.com/Parade-Ground-Dual-Perspective/release/257290

A1  Gold rush
A2  Snake
B1  Moans
B2  Action replay

This is a release from 1987 by brothers Jean-Marc and Pierre Pauly. Occaasionally they worked with Daniel B and Patrick Codeny from Front 242 and has therfore become associated with the EBM scene.

This release has very little to do with EBM though. I would say that they sound more like a synthezised Joy Division with the same flair for melancholy, beautiful melodies and tasteful guitars.

The immediate hit is Gold rush with it's octave bassline and great melody. It sticks like glue and should be an obvious floorfiller at the disco. But the song that really captures my heart is Moans. It has some relly cool synths and guitars that seems to be slightly out of tune and a very beautiful and melancholy melody that has an almost desperate quality. A really cool song that I often listen to.

This is overall a kick ass EP with four very good songs. I am really happy that I am going to see this band perform live tomorrow (111001) at Bodyfest in Stockholm.

Bought my copy at Tradera and payed 11,72 €.

Kite - IV
Format: 12" EP
Style: Synth pop
Label: Progress Production

http://www.discogs.com/Kite-IV-EP/release/3159990


A1  I just wanna feel
A2  Step forward
A3  Vicorious
B1  Stand back
B2  Closing my heart

Kite continues with their great EP releases. As usual they treat us great songs and cool sounds. The EP beginns with the song I just wanna feel that works as a great intro song. I would not be suprised if this song kick off their concerts this fall. Very cool echo effects on Niklas Stenemos voice.

Niklas does some really good singing on this record (as usual). His voice cuts through in a very pleasent way and it seems it has gotten a bit rougher and hoarser since the last EP. This is most evident on my personal favorite on the record; the song Victorious. Kick ass base and super cool vocal performance.

The song Stand back is a hit that will give Robyn some competition. Hopefully we will be dancing to this one at the clubs until the next Kite release. And if we don't dance to that one, it will work almost as good with the song Stand Back, with it's very cool samba-like drums in the verse.

Wasted Doom - Anger Your Neighbours!!!

Wasted Doom - Anger Your Neighbours!!!
Format: 12"
Style: industrial, EBM
Label: KM-Musik

http://www.discogs.com/Wasted-Doom-Anger-Your-Neighbours/release/561549

A1  Hot Rod
A2  Videogewalt
B1  Hijacked plane
B2  Prediction

 Wasted Doom is a german band with Alexander Schröder singing and Maik Lutterklas on machines. Alexanders voice reminds me of Nivek Ogre from Skinny Puppy and I suspect that Wasted Doom could have listened to one or two Skinny albums before making this record.

At the same time this record stands on it owns and contains four really good songs. My personal favorite is Videogewalt. It's the only song with german lyrics, and it also differs a bit in the sound. It has a very effective bassline and a wonderful, electronic groove that makes me wanna dance all night long.  One of those songs that immediately found it's way to my heart.

I bought my copy on Discogs and payed 7.78€.

Klute - Explicit
Format: 12" EP
Style: Industrial
Label: Zoth Ommog

http://www.discogs.com/Klute-Explicit/release/152196

A1 Nothing to hide
A2 No remorse
B1 Desert storm
B2 We are the hunted

This is a really cool record from 1991. All the songs on this release are strong, agressive and industrial. My personal favorite is Desert storm, cause I just love the distorted,  sawtooth base and the powerful energy of the song.

Klute is a side project from Claus Larsen of Leaether Strip. Musically the two projects are not that driffrent, but Klute has a more industrial touch and is a bit more distorted. I personally prefer this slightly noisier approach from Claus.

Claus later changed the spelling of this project to Klutæ to avoid confusion with the drum & base producer Klute from Ipswich.

Found and bought on Discogs for 10 €.

Swedish Old school EBM 2010

Swedish Old school EBM 2010
Format: 7"
Style: EBM
Label: Sham recordings

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Swedish-Oldschool-Ebm-Ep-2010/release/2469033

A1 Autodafeh - Make us belive
A2 Hatbrott - Horse
B1 Restricted Area - Bulldozer
B2 Container 90 - Maggots

This is the third EP in the Swedish Old school series from Sham recordings, ltd edition of 130. It's about time this one made it to the blog, since I bought it almost a year ago at last years Bodyfest.

Autodafehs song Make us belive is funky in the same tradition as early Front 242. Sticks in your mind like chewing gum beneath your shoe.

Hatbrott is full speed ahead with a nasty bass on the song Horse. Strange melody with something that sounds like a thumb organ.

Peter Elm  made a comeback this year with Restricted Area and the release of the double CD Core excess. The hard hitting song Bulldozer made it both to this vinyl and to the CD. Really good song sounding like Nitzer Ebb or Spetsnaz.

The biggest surprise on the EP is Container 90s contribution Maggots. Alot more industrial sounding then we are used to from this band. A really interesting song that became an instant personal favorite.

Spartak - Darwinism? Humanism?

Spartak - Darwinism? Humanism?
Format: 12"
Stil: EBM, Italo disco
Label: Dark Star

http://www.discogs.com/Spartak-Darwinism-Humanism/release/640485

A   Downwards (Maxi Mix)
B1 Disco, Baby, Sunshine
B2 Volkstanz

I first came in contact with Spartak during a drive from Gothenburg to Örebro. Me and a friend were on our way to a gig, and had forgotten to bring any music with us. Thankfully we picked up another friend halfways that brought some CD:s with him. One of the CD:s we were listening to was swiss band Spartak, and theiralbum Survival of the fittest.

The album had some cool electronic music, though it was musically very schizofrenic, with styles ranging from EBM to disco to electronic folk music. One of the songs that stuck in my memory was the song Downwards. So I was really pleased when I found that one on vinyl.

This 12" maxi is a great reduction of the album. Downwards is the pounding EBM song and Disco, Baby, Sunshine represents the (italo) disco. The song i also also a fun homage to Donna Summers / Giorgio Moroders classic I feel love. Volkstanz is a mostly weird, with it's fiddles and lyrics in... finnish???

I got my copy through Discogs, and paid 5.56 €.
