Bay Area Retrograde (BART) Volume 2 is Dark Entries’ second compilation of underground music from San Francisco (and the greater Bay Area) made between 1978-1983. Towards the end of the 70s, San Francisco's experimental music scene clashed with the aftermath of punk and gave birth to a vibrant underground. By the early to mid 80s the DIY music scene of the Bay Area was a hotbed for experimental and quirky new wave, post punk, and synthpop, quite similar to New York’s No Wave scene and Berlin’s Neue Deutsche Welle. This compilation connects the (transit) lines between these varied musical offerings and tells the secret story of eleven forgotten Bay Area bands.

BART Volume 2 features slow, dystopian horror from pioneering industrial group Factrix; crushing, motorik noise from acid punks Chrome; amphetamine-driven synth punk from Red Asphalt; an early demo, never released on vinyl, from legendary post punk band Tuxedoomon; chilling atmospheric drone from Ki Di Me; leftfield new wave from Indoor Life featuring Patrick Cowley on synths;  Los Microwaves more sinister side project Baby Buddha; gay drag icon Timmy Spence delivering an unknown camp classic, a pure instrumental electro-pop workout from Human Being Men; TR-808 fueled synth pop from Menlo Park duo Wonders of Science, and a poetic yet somber and haunting song from the mysterious Zru Vogue. 

All tracks have been carefully remastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each LP is housed in a large 6-panel, 2-sided fold out poster designed by Eloise Leigh, featuring original photos and fliers from each band’s personal archive plus a 36”x24” print of a photograph by Ruby Ray from1978. BART is the acronym for Bay Area Rapid Transit, the main rail transportation system for the San Francisco Bay Area. This LP is by no means a definitive compilation but merely opens the tunnel to the underground of the Bay!

We announce
Euromatic Tales - a bi-monthly show for distorted, yet witty minds!
curated by

What are Euromatic Tales?
We embrace the multi-cultural heritage of the global dance music scene. From cosmic to US disco. From new beat to Chicago house.
Euromatic Tales is a German, Italian, Greek & Georgian co-production.
We don’t pre-record. The show will feature guests. We are serious about the fun: To our ears a set is not hysterical entertainment, but conveys a curated narrative.

If you wonder why The Sneaker goes down the reggae tip you might listen closely to the first half an hour where I felt reminded of Italo Disco synth hooks and - in the mid of the mix - digital house from the 80s (cheap samples, samplers and Casio keyboards).

Euro doesn't mean Eurocentric - rather the concious (and necessarily) "European view on".

In this case on Jamaica. Interestingly most of the dub-infused German-lyric examples in the latter part of the 2h-show predate the digital dancehall "version"s from Jamaica. So the narrative ain't that simple as "political correct" predators wish for.

All vinyl!
Enjoy!
