Scars.


Really great jangly pop from Scars. This was the only full length they ever released and is by far their greatest effort. Sort of reminds me of a head on collision of Echo and the Bunnymen and The Go-Betweens which is really nice. http://www.mediafire.com/?8k6p68qrpy4xv

Colourless Dream.


Second single from great post punk band Sad Lovers & Giants. Every time I throw this on it just sounds perfect. Familiar but you still can't place your thumb completely over it either. Two stellar tracks of the highest quality.http://www.mediafire.com/?wuz5jsta9zran

I wish I could speak your language.


More brilliant and some what obscure post punk from Belgium. The Names 1982 album "Swimming" is very much akin to the early works of Section 25, Joy Division, and the other Factory bands of the era. The Names themselves released a single on Factory records in 1980 which consisted of the songs "Night shift" b/w "I wish I could speak your language". The songwriting ability displayed on "Swimming" is above the generic brand of post punk records out there. The Names illustrate the delicate balance of beautiful melodies amid an ashen surface of decay. This download also includes the bands singles so your getting every essential piece of the puzzle here.http://www.mediafire.com/?7dqfm0355y2xd

Pornography Demos.


1982 was the release of the Cures remarkable album Pornography. Pornography established the Cure as England's definitive gloom troop. The band also took on the image of kabuki figures which is definitely creepy and fits the whole tone of this record. The deluxe cd set has an entire disc worth of demos and live material taken from the tour. The demos are pretty incredible and offer an even more sinister and minimal glimpse of what the songs on Pornography would become. Definitely bonus material unlike many of the unbonus material we are treated to in the repackaging of items we have owned before.
