Not a single day...



NORMIL HAWAIANS - Still Obedient /  Should you forget?
( 7'', Illuminated Rec, 1
981)

the art of postpunk-diy-experimental-alternative culture at one of its apogees!





WORLD SERVICE - Celebration Town / Turn out the lights
(7'', Rough Trade, 1983)


WORLD SERVICE and THE RELATIVES were the two STEVE LAKE's outfits acted for a short time after ZOUNDS disbandment. THE RELATIVES made an LP called "Jim Morrison", while STEVE continued with some solo works.



JESUS COULDN'T DRUM - Autumn Leaves / Evening In July / Rain
(7'', Lost Moment Rec, 1985)


Homemade funny/melancholic synth-new wave by duo of pop humourists influenced by the "kindergarden" aeshtetics of Cordelia Records, Alan Jenkins, and the likes.
Also released as a 12'' EP with two bonus tracks.

Οταν μετά απο 20+ χρόνια κατάφερα να ξαναβρω το "More wealth than money" - εστω και σε ψηφιακή μορφή, τους είχα τρελλάνει όλους. Δεν ήξερε κανείς για ποιο λόγο ήμουν τόσο χαρούμενος..
Και αυτά τα σινγκλακια.. Σαν διαμάντια απο καραμέλα
Μου δώσατε ιδέα για μεσοβδόμαδη ανάρτηση συγκινήσεων!(Αν και είχα προβληματιστεί και με τον Μ. Μπειτς - Eyeless in Gaza: αδυναμία εκ του παρελθόντος)
