"We are great believers in the redeeming qualities of chaos and confusion"

#Vinyl #Coil #NowPlaying

I’ve listened to the latest album (Doperider) by #TheUtopiaStrong now a couple times and it’s honestly brilliant. Musical, layered, electronic goodness but with other instruments too.

#UtopiaStrong is a project by Michael J York (#Teleplasmiste, played also with #Coil), #SteveDavis (#snooker champion) and #KavusTorabi. I feel with this album they have gone beyond the individual sparkles to a complete artwork. Recommended.

Doperider, by The Utopia Strong

7 track album

The Utopia Strong

The Poems released a track, Posters on the Wall, on a 1979 various artists EP called Spectacular Commodity, but Rose missed the recording session because she was busy giving birth!

She did play on their self-titled 1980 cassette, and on their 1981 single Achieving Unity (released on Polka Records, catalogue number DOT1).

All I want for Christmas is a massive blow-up of this, mounted on the wall like a protective sigil against shallow taste and weak signals.
