1986 darkwave, minimal electro band from Rochester, New York. The lineup was James Tabbi (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jeff Gallea (bass, drum programs, vocals, keyboard), Jack Schaefer (electric guitar) and Dan Brumley (synths, samples, vocoder, melodica). They released the "Bas Relief" LP in 1986, only 500 silkscreened and hand numbered copies of the record were made which are now extremely sought after by minimal synth enthusiasts. This gem has a wonderful low-tech warm driving synth sound that is infectious. The vocals are haunting and the bass lines remind of Joy Division. Almost every song is killer dark post-punk or electronic synth wave. They seemed to take cues from Echo and the Bunnymen, early New Order, Fad Gadget, and Depeche Mode. Songs like Watching Trees, Tears and Cinnamon, Portugal, Ignorant Father, and Temporal deserve to be heard. Timeless."

Nafas

Radiance (Oppenheimer Analysis cover)

Volta Cab return to Nein with a stunning ep of dark brooding electronics, title track sounds like ralf and florian in the 21st century whilst the bruising white woman in trouble comes on all angular. Remixes come courtesy of In Flagranti who stretches and bends kontrol into and even more epic version and K-effect take White Woman and twist and turn into a dark pulsing new beat affair.

“Garden of Love” is 5 years old. 5 years that his songs have accompanied us, like evidence. The 4th album of Scratch Massive entered our intimacy, met its audience, a large audience, and the passage of time has succeeded. His romantic and dark compositions - we can cite "Last Dance", "Sunken" or "Dancer in the Dark" - have become classics that we have heard as soundtracks on feature films, series and fashion shows. “Last Dance” sung by Maud Geffray has become a cult and transgenerational title by illustrating the first kiss of Elliot and Lucas, the two heroes of the teen series “Skam”.

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of "Garden Of Love", Scratch Massive offers us here a Deluxe version containing 5 unreleased tracks, recorded in Los Angeles during the album's studio sessions. There we find the majestic “Love Streams” Feat Grindi Manberg in its sung and instrumental version. Then come 2 unreleased demos of "Pray" by the group, and finally "Hollywood Boulevard", a nighttime ballad in a fantasy L.A., the city where the album "Garden of Love" was thought and composed.

This Deluxe anniversary version skilfully completes the group's 4th LP and makes us wait before the next one, scheduled for 2024.
