Great news! Their previous album "Love in the age of war" was perfect, among my personal top of the come-back albums of 198s performers, on par with their "Rhythm of youth" masterpiece. So we have all the reasons to expect something good this time! My only gripe is that the guys don't make music more often...

A bit later than usual but anyway, here's the third volume. This time fully electronic - didn't plan it that way, it just so happened. I personally have no problem with that (to put it lightly) but some people may be irked, so here's warning.

As usual some gems (Ciani's track is funny and such an addictive one - like Ceramic Hello's one from Volume 1, whereas Those Attractive Magnets' song and the last three are monsters of synthpop, I'm short of words to describe their first impression on me so won't waste your time ) and some "interesting" ones. A couple are obviously demos but overall, I feel, a very solid batch of songs (again!).

Thanks for all the effort and posts. I've enjoyed listening to them all and found some songs I have thoroughly enjoyed.
Cheers mate

Another fine set of tracks! Thanks Passing_Stranger

Thanks, a great listen

Thank you guys, appreciate my humble work being appreciated Always nice to bring attention to some well-deserving songs and give pleasure to fellow music lovers!

Hey-hey-hey, it's Wednesday! And time for another volume in the series. The previous one was fully electronic, this one has more variety musically, with "love" (in all its guises) as a general theme. Some fantastic songs (I remember having the hair on my arms standing up when I heard "Young love" back in the mists of early 2000s) - and let's see if you can spot a very obscure 1980s reference (let's call it that) in one of the songs, it's very funny

Some nice tracks again. But Linear Movement is a Belgium band not a Dutch one.

Excellent. Thanks for the share.

P.S. And Rissan, thank you for spotting my blunder concerning Linear Movement - that was not in any way intentional and I apologize.

Another fine set of tracks.

Time for the new installment in the series. This one has a clear anti-militarist/anti-nuke/socio-critical bent which is sadly quite timely, I'm sure you'll agree. Still can't imagine a reason why one of Ministry's finest songs didn't see the light of day (via traditional means anyway) in its day, and the closing song is one of my absolute favourites - clearly remember the hair on my neck standing up when I first heard it! Wow! Poeme Electronique's release from which it came from is anyway of the best archival "synth" releases, hugely recommend it. The crazy thing is that their newer songs, from 2000-2010s, are almost on par, great synthpop which puts to shame most of the young pretenders of our day. The same I can say about Oppenheimer Analysis - fantastic music both old and new, please investigate if at all interested. And what a trouble I had choosing the best song from N.O.I.A.'s "Unreleased classics" compilation! All in all, great stuff all around!
