Medical Records continues it’s unearthing of extremely rare singles in it’s Electroconvulsive Therapy series. Once again, teaming up with Crispy Nuggets blog (crispynuggets.blogspot.com), we have assembled yet another collection of long out of print and underground singles and rare tracks. This compilation includes 3 complete A + B sides from 7” singles + 4 other rare songs (2 from cassette, 1 A side of a 7”, and 1 track featured on a rare 80s compilation LP). All original tracks are impossible to find for less than a mint on the collector’s market. The first 2 tracks are by Belgium’s Tipical Me from the Claustrofobian b/w Pope No Hope 7”. These 2 tracks are perfect synth pop in every way. The second artist is UK’s Secession, and we have included their debut 7” released in 1983. Though known for their later more electronic based pop and dance tracks, these two tracks display their earlier dark beginnings with chilling guitars and a more early 4AD aesthetic. Both tracks from the 7” are included. The third artist is France’s Leidenschaft who released one lone 3-song cassette in 1986 with 2 of the tracks featured here. Leidenschaft could loosely be compared to early Clan of Xymox with French cold wave leanings. The 2 cuts are very atmospheric and lovely indeed. Back to the UK, we included the wonderfully minimal A + B sides of the rare 1984 7” by Black Fantasy. Original copies of this single have been selling for insanely high prices these days. 2 more tracks were also included on this compilation which complete the theme nicely. V.U.D. was an Italian outfit who recorded a track entitled “Look!” which was included on the “First Relation” v/a compilation LP released in 1983 on Mask Productions and curated by Lisfrank. Quirky and undeniably catchy, we absolutely adore this track as will everybody who hears it. The last track included on this LP is the A side of the rare 1984 7” by UK’s Almost Alone entitled “Blue City”. Dense and atmospheric synth pop with definite New Romantic tendencies, this track is a perfect closing track for this diverse collection. This collection will certainly appeal to fans of rare minimal synth, early synth pop, or EBM. This compilation allows anyone who has desired to have one or all of these quite expensive tracks on vinyl in the best sound quality possible. Additional mastering by Martin Bowes at the Cage, UK. This compilation and reissue is specially prepared for Record Store Day on high-quality 180gram blue and magenta “half and half” colored vinyl. Limited edition.

MR-083

Belgium based Luminance continues to build his multiverse and embarks on a journey towards the infinite, meandering through a melt of genre-defiers best likened to darkwave/EBM/ambient/industrial/dark electro. Seeking in his roots and influences, wich include psych, ambient, black metal, krautrock and mixing it with modern shapes of synth music, the artist crafts a extremely intense second full length. This double LP has been slowly evolving in the artist’s mind over the last few years and offers 10 truly manifold tracks as saga panels to guide us through the passage of existence.

Luminance "Essentialize"

This track is from the album Earth History Multiambient and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ohama2

Year 1980 - Radio On by Charles de Goal

We have posted here more than 450, mostly classic era, minimal synth tracks, much of this on cassette, with the odd contemporary gemm when necessary. A sprinkling of synthpop, italo and experimental thrown in just because.

Generally just one or two tracks per artist, with the aim of buidling as broad as possible repository of minimalsynth bands/artists and to avoid bulk uploads of any one artist. 

Enjoy. Go buy the reissues. 

Buy from the artists on bandcamp.
