MYSTERY PLANE
Still Life
2016 UK Ltd. Ed. Reissue
For those who have zoomed in and read the hype sticker on the front cover of this album, you could see why I’d gamble on it and try it out.
And man, am I ever glad I did!
This shit is awesome!
Proggy & kraut-like #sythpop originally recorded by two dudes on a reel to reel with drum machines in 1981.
It was originally meant as a demo to shop around to record labels in order to score a record deal. Later, the Color Tapes label released only 100 copies of it.
These are VERY cool songs; really melodic, and with a really unique DIY sound.
Before they went the drum machine route, they tried to be a more conventional band, but their drummer was more interested in being fucked up on amphetamines.
Another guy just lost interest.
HIS name was Porl Thompson, who would later go on to play in The Cure.
A record DEFINITELY worth checking out.
