DE-002 Death Domain - Ethidium Bromide 7"

Death Domain aka Adam Stroupe is a science nerd from Baltimore and, like me, wears it as a badge of honor.  Death domains are stretches of amino acids found in proteins that signal for apoptosis, programmed cell death.  To my ears, his sound is undoubtedly one of the most bewildering, disorienting yet magnetic and infectious slices of downright bleak takes on synth-based dance music. A one man all-live-analogue electronic ice machine (who is also behind the likes of 'SIDS' - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). His sound is as cryptically raw as it gets - summoning the seminal Industrial/EBM sounds of the likes of early Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny Puppy, and The Normal.

Ethidium Bromide

I Will Do Anything For You

I wrote this in 1986 for Eleven Pond after I read some magazine article about Europeans who used to have their extra-marital affairs in Portugal... no paparazzi, miles of desolate beaches, old romantic architecture, lots of available cheap rooms to rent... " I asked you twice, now I say to go, find sweat romance, down in Portugal.... LETS GO!" -jeff gallea

Portugal  (1986)

"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." -Goutroy 

Legendary Bas Relief album will be released for the very first time on CD via Other Voices Records!

Eleven Pond - Watching Trees

On September 20th, 2009, PRINCE was rehearsing for upcoming shows for  his favorite city, France. Why was is it his favorite city? "Because it rhymes with my favorite word; Dance!", Prince would say.  On September 21st, 2009, PRINCE sent his mouthpiece and trusted friend over the years a rehearsal of "Why U Wanna Treat Me So Bad" entitled "Y U Wanna Treat Me So Bad" from the day's previous rehearsals. Prince had his own web site LotusFlow3r.com but Funkenberry was the person to follow for Prince news, tour dates, after-shows and now exclusive tracks. People still didn't get their LotusFlow3r.com shirts but here were fans wishing they were giving their $70.00 to Funkenberry instead. The rehearsal is interesting because PRINCE sings it in his lower octave. So for the 10th anniversary of Dr. Funk being sent this song, it is being reposted in full for the first time in years! Enjoy & listen to those lyric changes. Much Love & Keep it Funky...always!
