Rosetta Stone

Postby LMP69 » Mon Jan 16, 2023 1:29 pm

I recently purchased the 8-CD Box called Anthology 1988-2012. I had some familiarity with them from some of their 12'' singles from late 80s into early 90s. I guess I would call them goth. I had this feeling there would be lots of stuff in this box I would not necessarily care for, but was extremely surprised. The relatively small discography of Rosetta Stone is included, but it is the work of the offshoot called Miserylab. I had zero knowledge of them, and it is fantastic. While the releases are 2008 and later, they have a sound/feel of post-punk/electronic from the 80s. So many fantastic songs and I am so happy to have purchased this box. Wow, what a surprise with Miserylab. I guess maybe if I were to compare the Miserylab sound to someone, maybe Digital Sex?? I would at least recommend checking them out, though I am certain some of the music nerds (a compliment) on this site already know all about them.

Great box. A friend of mine sold me that one. I never heard Miserylab, until then. You're right it's an amazing offshot! :wink:
