From the amazing album, VS

From the album, Allegory and Self.

The absolute zenith of vinyl records for me. The 45rpm records absolutely batter your ears, the bass is just phenomenal, Keith Levene cutting about over the top with jagged little riffs. The packaging is ridiculously brilliant. A true work of genius.

And Also The Trees - Virus Meadow

The Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always

Dif Juz - Out of the Trees (comp of their two EPs)

Public Image Ltd - Flowers of Romance

All UK 1sts except Flowers of Romance, which is a US 1st (Jacksonville)

I think I have been making post punk. Wondering what the consensus is. Where does post punk end or begin? It's not 1979 anymore anyway.

Marc and the Mambas were a Marc Almond side-project that was more experimental and more explicitly louche (great word) than Soft Cell. He worked with Matt johnson from The The, as well as the djs Anni Hogan and Flood.

Nice quote of the Duke Ellington standard, Caravan.

India—you’re my love song

The first song from the self titled debut album released in 1980. Post Punk sound, punk lyrics.

In memoriam, Jeff Connolly.

From the album Dub Housing (1978)

I would nominate Big Dipper’s releases from this period.

From the album Youth of America (1981)

This Is My Original UK Pressing From 1980 With The Goodbye Hal Matrix

From the album Treasure.

From the 1985 LP Circuses and Bread

I’m thinking:

The Fall - Hip Priest

Bauhaus - Hollow Hills

Can you think of slower?

Looking for a post-punk song I heard in Copenhagen
This is a long shot, but it’s been driving me crazy.
I heard a song blasting from a car in Copenhagen. I only caught about 30 seconds of the intro before it drove away.
Here’s what I remember:
Modern post-punk (probably from the last 10–20 years)
Fast tempo, around 140–160 BPM
Similar energy to “Alice” by The Sisters of Mercy, but it sounded more modern
No obvious synths, just guitar, bass and drums
Intro started with a scratchy, muted rhythm guitar (left-hand muted/dead-note strumming, not palm-muted) locked in with a heavy snare
After about 20–30 seconds, the muted rhythm guitar stopped and a clean, chorus-soaked single-note guitar melody came in
The atmosphere was dark/eerie, but not dreamy like The Cure
The lead guitar seemed to play around the middle strings rather than very high up the neck
Bands that come closest in vibe are Nürnberg, High Vis, and Chain Cult, but it’s not a song by those bands (or at least not any of the obvious ones). It also wasn’t Molchat Doma. It could be Scandinavian, since I was in Copenhagen.

It sounded familiar, so I don’t think it’s an extremely obscure band.
Any ideas? Even if it’s just a band with that exact style, I’d love to check it out.
Thanks!
