Vena - A Mortal Song In A Beautiful Sunday

100% - Lost Youth

Better Person’s first single since the critically acclaimed EP It’s Only You marks a crucial shift in the Berlin-based singer’s artistic path. A result of his unexpected turn towards euro pop aesthetics, “Zakochany Człowiek” (A Man in Love), is an instant hit that cuts strong and deep with its earworm melody, moony synth hook, and dense Romantic aura. Having left behind former RnB explorations, Adam Byczkowski embraces Franco-Italian 70s and 80s sensibility and breathes new life into the legacy of Polish Romantic pop auteurs, such as Beata Kozidrak or Andrzej Zaucha. But what strikes here the most is the language: for the first time ever he sings in his native Polish tongue, as a way of reaching uncharted personal and emotional depths. His voice, which has grown powerful yet tender, channels the velvet rawness of the Polish language, while telling the story of love once lost. “Zakochany człowiek” is not only an ultimately catchy tune but also a reflection upon the fleeting nature of things experienced and then forgotten, fading memories of someone who has become no more than a spectral presence. “Here’s a man in eternal love”, he sings almost cold-heartedly, just before the chorus breaks into Roy Molloy’s final sax solo.

“Zakochany Człowiek” comes out digitally on Berlin label Mansions & Millions.

SCORPION VIOLENTE - Viol et Revanche

Minimal Wave proudly presents a full length double album entitled “Further Strategies” by synthpop band Turquoise Days. Hailing from Jersey, Channel Islands, Turquoise Days was formed in 1981 by Luciano Brambilla and David Le Breton shortly after meeting at a nightclub in St Ouens called Waves. They used Roland synthesizers and drum machines, as well Yamaha synthesizers and Fender guitars along with tape effects and vocals. Throughout the 1980s, they self-released many cassettes, as well as the renowned masterpiece Grey Skies / Blurred 7” single. They were selected for the Radio Luxembourg song contest in 1985 and received press for their releases and appearance there. Their music can be described as melodic, emotive new wave. The music featured here includes the songs from the long sold out Alternative Strategies release from 2009, remastered, along with a a collection of previously unreleased material. The release is limited to 999 hand-numbered copies. The records are pressed on 160 gram white vinyl and come in a matte heavyweight gatefold jacket designed by Phil Yamada, featuring unpublished photographs of the the band inside the gatefold. Further Strategies will be available for pre-order soon, with a release date in early November.
